    I miss spending hours exploring my local video store. The owner was friendly and always gave me a good deal. Met some good people in there doing the same thing that I was.

      The problem with streaming is the content is all broken up in between multiple streaming services. With a rental place it had everything. That is what is missed the most.

          Fucking pervert. Don't the clerks call the cops any time they see you on the property?

                      Maybe it's because my family was never able to rent from Blockbuster, but how would Blockbuster video stores be in anyway superior to streaming sites? The only advantage I could think of was that at least you don't have to worry about certain movies expiring from Blockbuster the way some movies leave streaming services after they lose the rights.

                      I can't live in the past
                      Then set my soul free
                      Belong to me at last

                              I was just thinking about this and you could see where I left off in my last thread I created. I miss blockbuster so much. I saw a lot of far out stuff you won't ever see on streaming sites which are cheap but because they're so lacking one has to subscribe to a handful of streaming services and end up paying so much more than they would at Blockbuster. I paid $2 and would get two movies. T
