Working at a video store in the mid 90’s as a teen, i felt like I had the coolest job one could expect at 18. Record stores had the same feeling but they now have an eerily dead feeling when you go into either these days. It’s just very true, these businesses are relics of the past, reaching their apex in the 1990’s and making me now feel quite old.

I still rent movies at Blockbuster!
Exciting things happen in there. You know, once someone even crapped in the corner of the store.

I just rented the 1989 original Batman movie for my kids the other night at blockbuster. For $4.59 I got to watch a very old DVD with all the scratches and bubble of the original film. It had to be one of the first DVD versions ever distributed. It probably would have looked better on video. Not only that, it wouldn’t play the ending. I felt like a sucker for going to Blockbuster. I will never do that again. Too bad REDBOX has such a small selection.
