If you have Netflix, stream it instantly. Otherwise rent it.

Really off-the-wall, funny documentary about parking lot attendants.

If you've ever worked in the service industry, or as a parking lot attendant?, I think you will identify with this movie.

Good to hear it's good, I stumbled across it last night and added it to the que, netflix streaming is ruining my life right now, LOL. Currently working through some TV shows and the new Kevin Smith talks thing, "too fat for 40" I think it is.

Yeah, I'm sure Cox hates the bandwidth we use up streaming Netflix.

"Which is of course one of the problems of having a bunch of insanely overeducated people working in a service sector job."

I've so been there.

Great doc. I love the attendants chasing the non-paying customers into the street.

Best quote from a parking lot attendant ever (to my mother who was trying to leave without paying):

"Just 'cause its public, don't mean its free!"

They sure do, and its only going to get worse as more and more people dump their $80-100/mo cable bills for a $30/mo internet bill. Of course there's going to be more throttling and mysterious internet outages as they try and fight back. Things will probably get worse but the consumer will win in the end.

they'll just charge more for more bandwidth like they did in the early days of 56k modems- you get a certain limited amount of data you can download, and if you exceed it they you charge more. i know when i first got in the internat back in the fall of '98, they allowed you something like 2GB a month for the basic rate- which is a lot for a 56k dialup connection..
