La? Haha get ready to be run down by drug addicts and homelessness.
The movie rental store will rise again!
It was a big mistake for everybody to blindly jump off the cliff into streaming. It means the big corporations now control what you can & can't see. They can just pull titles out of circulation, bury them in a hole & throw away the key whenever they want. With physical media, the consumer got to own & control their own library of titles. Would love to see physical media make a comeback. I will be the first in line.
Donating to homeless more useful

I just would just go to their video store for the smell. That alone will kick start something in my brain and make me a very happy man again.
Let's be honest this is stupid. Streaming is so much better. This is only good for nostalgia but that's really it. Also movies are free online if you look carefully..
I think I would go in for the nostalgia, but then I would just try to find the movie for free somewhere
Wow blockbuster way old school we used to go there as kids with our parents these kids would never know the struggle lol of a vhs and having to clean the VHS player lol brings back so many memories good ones
Physical media will ALWAYS be king.
everything has a market
Libraries lend dvds for free, and we have big collections– but that collection is massive! I think video stores are a great idea!
NOT, no place like home for COMFORT, and no idiots on cellphones. Why waste the gas? All the same movies they rent are free online. It's will fail, again. lol
As somebody without streaming services(¤tly with internet so shoddy, it's practically nonexistent)places like this really matter,
We really need this to come back nationwide. It's cheaper and always has been. I would love to rent movies from stores like this again if a company like Blockbuster makes a comeback nationwide.

I am very happy for the couple and i love the supportive community. Although I am a little bit surprised by the good response, I do see people purchasing older dvds on ebay and shopping for movies at thrift stores all the time.
