Bring back blockbuster.

I really miss Blockbuster. I heard the last one in the states is somewhere in Alaska. I'm seriously tempted to visit it.

  • I miss the entire experience. Walking in on Friday night, going for the new movie section, see that they're all gone, pick some random horror flick from 1962, stand in line, get the stale bag of microwave popcorn and twizzlers, have the cashier find my name on his massive DOS screen, while he's waiting for it to come up looks at the title of my movie and then listen to a 5 minute breakdown of how great it is...I miss it all.

      Best part of blockbuster was the smell inside. Also I remember one of the first YouTube vids i ever watched was a prank where some guys dumped a bunch of cat poop at the front door of one and filmed people as they walked out and were confused by the random poop

    My favorite part of renting a movie was that, because it was movie night, you were stuck with whatever you picked and had to watch through the entire thing regardless of how bad it was.

    Last time I lived by a blockbuster, we owed them like $65 in late fees. I was glad they closed because the collection letters stopped.

    i liked the random independent video stores in small towns

    I miss Blockbuster too. I remember back in like 2000, they had the Pokemon Snap kiosks where I could print out stickers from my game. XD

  • I do miss the atmosphere and nostalgia of visiting a store like that. I would hire sega mastersystem games, pull the chip out of them an replace it with an old broken one so I could keep the game if I liked it

    In Alaska you need three things: a float plane, an Internet connection, and an arctic survival jacket. It's my second favorite state.

      They tan the videos?
      I have heard of parents tanning their kids' hides when the kids are bad but tanning a video?

        No in the south the video rental places use to offer tanning beds too. You could go tan and then rent a video.

    Haven't watched an actual DVD for years. Online is way better imo. I used to hate when they were scratched and would skip or wouldn't play. Would fuck your night up.
