I don't think so. According to my queue, the following movies are said
to have a "very long wait". All of them were released just this week.
"Ultimate Avengers", "Aliens Gone Wild", "Ant: America's Ready", and
"Lie With Me".
Wait a second. I went back to check on the status of Superman vol.2,
and now it says "unavailable". What the hell is the matter with those
people?!?!?
I'm starting to have serious thoughts about cancelling my subscription.
