            I disagree. Not all video store clerks knew the movies and they didn't always make good suggestions. Also, with video stores the film you wanted may not be carried by the store and may not be in stock. You had to go to the store, pay to rent the movie, then return it after watching it. Streaming is more convenient. It is actually less expensive if you watch a lot of films. For $5-12 a month (depending on the service), you can watch as much as you want. If you rented 4 movies at blockbuster in a month, you would be paying more than that. And some streaming services are well organized and have a good layout and functionality.

                Plus if you go to the store you are polluting with putting out more carbon monoxide and if you are one of those thoughtless assholes you might let the car idle, putting out even more pollution, while you or your friend goes inside and takes for ****ing ever to get the movie.

                    You are retarded and everything you say is bullshit.
                    I had Blockbuster Moviepass or whatever it was called. Flat rate every month I could rent as many movies as i wanted and the selection was a hell of a lot better than Netflix, including all the new movies, which you get NONE of with netflix anymore.
                    If all you are going to say is bullshit then save it and don't even post your retarded lying garbage, ******.

                      I never heard of this Blockbuster Moviepass before. Are you sure you didn't make it up or imagine it?

                          It was probably a US only thing. I don’t think we had that in Canada.

                            Bummer. So as you can see, Blockbuster is better than your precious Netflix and Prime Video even with the pandemic still killing off folks and making us sick.

                              Not necessarily. You still have to go to the store, find the movie you want in stock, and then return it afterwards. There were lots of movies that Blockbuster didn't carry and they would often be out of stock of the popular ones.

                                There's still titles I cannot find on any of these popular video streaming services. Your point was what exactly?

                                  My point is that some of those titles that aren’t on streaming wouldn’t have been in Blockbuster either.

                                    In theory but you really weren't part of the culture. Had you been, the title would have been ordered to be shipped to store at the very least.

                                          There is the local library that still has hard copies and it is free and you can have it for a week or more and renew.
                                          Better than Walletbuster.
