Why does Yea Forums get so obsessed with video rental stores from the 90's when:
>your TV is way bigger now and much clearer and sharper and the sound is probably much better, too >you can download movie or TV show you want in bit-exact Bluray quality >you don't have to use gas money to get to the video store, you can just stay at home >you don't have to pay the video store any rental fees, late fees, etc >you don't have to wait for somebody else to return the video you want >you don't have to deal with rewinding tapes or scratched DVDs anymore >you don't have to return things around a schedule or pay late fees >you don't have to walk around a store looking for the right thing but can browse titles a lot faster with a mouse and keyboard
In other words, can somebody just bulldoze the last Blockbuster in Bend, Oregon? It needs to be snuffed out so this gay sentimentality over an inefficient, consumerist, bright lights shithole goes away forever.
You're obviously young and don't understand the notion of a time capsule yet. I'm sure you will in another 10-15 years.

I was born in the 80s. I don't miss it.
Joseph Ortiz
I don't either but there is no reason to be a turbo sperg about other people's nostalgia. The last Blockbuster is more like a tourist spot cashing in on the fact that it's the last one.

>there is no reason to be a turbo sperg about other people's nostalgia. criticizing stupid things like getting mopey over a fucking video store is "sperging" now? Is everything "sperging" if you don't like it?
Kayden Ross
Because it was a simpler time in some ways. Not simple as clicking a picture on a screen and steaming a movie at home, but the mood of the country was wildly different back then compared to the post-9/11 world. There’s a noticeable difference between now and pre-9/11. Kind of like America before the Kennedy assassination and post.
Videostores allowed us to congregate in the open for a common cause: love of film. It could be pricey and inconvenient but only compared to what we have now, which we didn’t know about obviously. Many working class kids started their first jobs at video-stores. Total automation and lack of human contact has allowed narcissism to grow and that’s not a good thing.

>criticizing stupid things like getting mopey over a fucking video store is "sperging" now? No, but making an autisum list like you did is.
Sebastian Rodriguez
I say we go back to that time, no more internet and all.
Levi Ortiz
Congregating in a video store is disgusting. It was never a good social experience. It was about paying for stuff and luring kids with video game stations and overpriced candy. First jobs are meant to be forgotten because they were not interesting. You can't connect with your friends at work.
People get nostalgic about the state of the country because it was whiter back then but they won't admit it.

No one will complain if you want to sit on your fat dead ass in your cube, blinds drawn with nothing but the glow of a screen lighting the room.
Ethan Foster
Yeah he’s right, OP. This was a pointless thread. Fuck off.
Cooper Perry
My apartment gets way more sun than some stupid Blockbuster. Even if somebody lived in a cube, they would still be watching the same movie, whether from blockbuster or the pirate bay

I don't think iJustine is an actual real woman. I think she's an NPC. I've never watched a single video without her shilling a product or collaborating with someone. She is always moving from one trend or newly released product to another.
She's the epitome of fakeness.
Logan Cook
She caters to the bugmen on Yea Forums who will literally start crying if that Blockbuster gets torn down, which it should.
>OP claims thread is about Blockbuster >is actually just another incel thread crying about women lol
Ryder Diaz
Intel doesn’t know how easy it was to pick up chicks at blockbuster where the hell do you Netflix and chill came from
Xavier Fisher
>pick up chicks at blockbuster you never did this.
Xavier Edwards
in the 90s id make a date with a chick
date consisted of going to blockbuster and breaking the ice while talking bout all these cool movies
rent a flick, go home, watch flick, fuck
the 90s were based
Jacob Brown
There’s still a lot of crazy fun shit that’s only on DVD or VHS and will never be on streaming.
Samuel Turner
No there isn't. Literally name one.
Charles Hall
should I schedule a meeting with Intel and let them know?
Leo Rodriguez
Nostalgia for a time when life was simpler and happier. Alternatively they live in a place with bad internet where streaming isn't possible.
Angel Sanchez
Things that never happened
Nathan Kelly
They're doing that thing where they're nostalgic for something they never experienced. Like how all the SNES collectors these days were born after the system died.
Owen Miller
>Stop liking things I don't like: the autism cut Did someone rape you at a Blockbuster or what? That one store is just a spot for nostalgiafag tourists.
I miss it because streaming is a massive scam. Blockbuster had to run thousands of stores, maintain the tapes/dvds, pay staff to stand there all day, and it was still cheaper than renting a movie over the internet is today. Not to mention they had rentals for new releases earlier than most online rental places do now, and much earlier than streaming sites do now. You can say it's about socializing or nostalgia but things have gotten quantifiably more expensive for someone paying for movies and much less expensive to sell them. I miss when the difference in price could go to some candy to watch the movie with
