Movie Business …

Hello there ...
So i was thinking the other day ...
We are all involved in burrowing and lending movies ...
If we have seen a movie ...
We want our friends to see the movie too ...
Sometimes, just for the pleasure of discussion ...
Whatever the reason may be ... the fact remains that ...
We do give out movies to our friends ...
We do get movies from our friends ...
Its a symbiotic and ongoing relationship ...
Operating on simple and straightforward principles ...
I give what i have ... u give what u have ... okiez ... ???
Consider the following scenarios ...
- Scenario A -
Person A :: Bro, do u've a movie ... ?
Person B :: Yeah, i Guess i do. Have u seen ABC movie ...?
Person A :: No, i don't think i have. Is it any good? Can i burrow it for a day?
Person B :: Yeah, OK. we'll go to my place after this coffee.
Person A and B both go to Person B's place and pick up the movie. Person A returns the movie to Person B the next day.
Now ... isn't that perfect ...
I know ... real life experiences can't be as perfect ...
Things happen ... stuff comes up ...
priorities get rearranged ... things get delayed ...
All sorts of things can happen ...
and most probably ... as Murphy's law says ...
"if something can wrong ...
it will go wrong ...
at worst possible moment ..."
But do you think it warrants the following scenario ...
- Scenario B -
Person A :: Bro, do u've a movie ... ?
Person B :: Yes i do ... but u still havnt return the movie i gave u last week ...
Person A :: Yeah eh ? i guess i havn't ... been busy ... i'll return it tonight ...
One week Later ...
Person B :: Bro, when r u going return my movie ...
Person A :: Movie ... ? What movie ...? U dint gimme no movie ... ?!?! ..
I've been a movie fan ... for a very long time ...
And I've burrowed movies ... and I've given out movies ...
I've operated on both extremes of the spectrum ...
I've experienced both scenarios ... in much more severe patterns ...
So i ask u ... how do we do this ...
Can we get responsible ...
Can we have respect for other people's stuff ... and time ...
In the times we live in now ...
with to-do-lists in phones n stuff ...
reminders in every PC we've access to ...
Its very not that hard to go by scenario A...
What say you ... ???
And ofcoz ... now that DivX n USB Hard drives are so common ...
There is no 2 way transactions ...
Makes it a lot easier ... eh ?
