What do you miss about going to local video stores?
When basic human interaction becomes nostalgic
2097: going to the last library
They should never close that Blockbuster. It should be a museum
Blockbuster: Jaws, Aliens, Up, Jurassic Park, and more!
Netflix: Gnome Alone
I would rather have a local Blockbuster than Netflix. There isn’t much I watch or like on Netflix. I miss that interaction, getting snacks, grabbing
movies I wasn’t expecting and even walking out with a game.
This Blockbuster should be considered as a historic location so it can never be torn down lol
This guys is absolutely right. Blockbuster and other video rental stores like Hollywood video did have a specific smell.
Nobody:
Netflix: Skylanders academy
What Blockbuster has that Netflix doesn't?
That room in back with beaded curtains?
Ok this looks bigger and more dedicated staff than what the average blockbuster had back in the day.
Basically it's an independent video store with a corporate logo.
I swear Netflix has no good movies
I still have my Blockbuster card smh The good ole days.
Blockbuster is now gone thanks to Captain Marvel..
Feels weird learning about Blockbuster while using something modern like Youtube
Real OG's don't use Blockbuster nor Netflix. Real OG's use PirateBay.
Nobody:
Netflix: are you still watching?
I missed Blockbuster the minute it closed down. I always thought RedBox and Netflix and Hulu were weak compared to Blockbuster. It just doesn't compare.
I absolutely loved the smell, it reminds me of my childhood 😭
after March 31, 2019 this will be the only Blockbuster in the world
