do yall miss Blockbuster

[dora_da_destroyer]

not necessarily specifically blockbuster, I just miss the pleasure of going to a video store when I was a kid. As soon as friday came and moms was off work I was immediately begging her to take me to rent a game or a movie, it was a really fun experience.

Gotta co-sign this. I miss being a kid and having a sleepover planned on a Friday, your parents or their parents would take you all to blockbuster to get a couple flicks to keep y'all quiet...I miss the analog life

Hell no we in the future now.

 

[Francis White]

I miss nothing about that crap place . It's the damn future already , I guess the op wants VHS and vcrs back also.

They could have been a competitor to netflix either online or physial
I mean red box became successful well after Blockbuster became non existent

I mean its nice to walk in and pick a movie and watch that movie thoroughly

Man blockbuster used to be the joint. There are so many games i never would have played if it wasnt for Blockbuster. Right now you either have to get games through the mail or hope the redbox decides to stock a particular game you want to try (fat chance). Nothing beat going in there as a youngin and finding that copy of Madden someone tried to hide behind Super Adventure Island.

Plus blockbuster night used to be a really cheap date. At least then you actually went somewhere and the discussion between which movies to get would be pretty good. Its not the same just telling a chick to come over so you can browse netflix.

Was just thinking about how as a kid who grew up in the 90s, I now have literally the entire Blockbuster store from any given year back then in my pocket 24/7. I'm talking about a place I looked forward to hitting EVERY weekend, is now just there, on me, wherever I go.

That shyt kinda fukked me up for a minute.

I only miss finding someone's card and going ham on it.

The store? No
That specific time in my life? Yes

The store? No
That specific time in my life? Yes

Yeah the time which blockbuster ruled was an amazing one. I remember renting Robocop vs Terminator. Amazing times.

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Hollywood videos>>> blockbuster

 

[thaKEAF]

Nope

Rent digital movies from the comfort of my own home via vudu or Amazon prime

 

[Why-Fi]

who?

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

When I was a kid I would get accounts in different neighborhoods and run up the late fees. (Don't ask me how). Then move to another location. Didn't use my CC

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

I remember renting Robocop vs Terminator.

what system was that on? SNES or genesis or some shyt? I remember my rich ass friend had it and a lightgun for it.

I don't miss blockbuster as I preferred local movie rental spots, but I do miss the experience of going there and looking for a movie to watch.
