I miss real video rental stores...

I am actually really missing blockbuster or Hollywood video. Sometimes the flix, Hulu, and redbox don't have that obscure movie you may really be after. Then I gotta buy the shit.

Is it just me?

I miss those kinds of store too. But they are a thing of the past now. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Blockbuster literally one of the least comprehensive video rental stores ever. I get u that some of them (usually the oldest, indie owned) carried amazing libraries. But dude, you can find anything you want if you're still willing to pay on Amazon instant video smh

I only pirate when it's not offered online in a reasonable medium (such has u need HBO sub)

Either stream, rent by mail, or go to the movie rental kiosks.
Yeah, Blockbuster always did suck. They ran out all the private rental shops before they went belly up. They screwed everyone while thinking they were too big to fail.

Definitely not just you. I always want to show my wife some movie that meant something to me in the past and there is no where to find it if not in the $7 blu ray bin at best buy. =(

Only thing that disappoint me about blockbuster is that they were all gone and outta business before I ever got to see the backroom *snicker*

Of course that is where I first discovered real anime (*u*)

I don't miss my DVD collection, glad that disappeared - live life like you need to pack up and leave in a hurry. Travel light.

There are lots of places online to find obscure titles. Some are even legal. I find a lots of old movies on TPB that are seemingly available no place else.
