This is just window shopping for something you can't keep.
Blockbuster always sucked. Hollywood video sucked almost as bad.Now, for a real experience in home rentals you needed a ma and pa store, or HOME VIDEO EXPRESS. The latter has nearly been wiped from existence, but it was the very best rental chain. A much larger selection of everything and yes, it had a porno section.Movies to Go was really good too. (and had a porno section)Both that and Movies to Go had tons and tons of sci-fi and horror, unlike Cockcuckolded Video or Crappywood Pityo.
>>223433400>You will own nothing and be happy circa 2003.
boomers really miss traveling a few miles just to not own a vhs tape for a few days kek.
>>223433450It was better than streaming. >a few milesWe went one mile. :) The communal thing was fun too.
streaming is better, but we all know streaming isn't what it used to be, just like the future.
>>223433400Movies stay with us in our memories and used to teach valuable lessons
>>223433450Hey now! We also rented games. There were also a fair assortment of snacks, and a few shitty toys. I'd like to see a streaming service replicate the feeling of impulse buying a giant bag of cardboard cotton candy.
>>223433400Sometimes it's better to rent or loan a movie to watch once.Why would you want every movie you ever watched collecting dust just to say you "owned it"
>>223433450The real difference comes from independent kino renters. They had old as fuck things you wouldn't find anywhere else and if they didn't have something they could order it in. No (((streaming))) service can offer that. They just want you to be fat and lazy and indulgent while Mexicans and blacks fight on every street corner for the crack cocaine trade.
>>223433400My local video store is still open. I rent there sometimes.
>>223433435>a ma and pa store>>223433842>independent kino rentersWhy do you fags suck off these places so much? They had the same mainstream stuff Blockbuster had but fewer copies and a smaller selection overall>B-but they were cheaperLol $2 was a make-or-break amount for you>B-but muh soulNon-argument>B-but they had my Japanese cartoonsSays more about you than Blockbuster
>>223434428They had way deeper catalogs than chains. You aren't a fan of underground/midnight/independent movies if you can't see the main appeal of specialty video rental stores. Just stick to new releases with at least 8 copies so you KNOW how popular and lowest common denominator they are. You won't be challenged or affected. Just stupidly entertained the way your simpleton brain wants.

>>223434463I only use tubi for streaming movies, there’s always some weird shit to be dug up.
>>223434463>specialty video rental storesFirst it's "ma and pa stores" (HOW could you hate Ma and Pa???)Then it's "Independent" movie stores (Yeah! Fuck da corpos!)Now it's "specialty video rental stores" which I've never even heard ofFuck off, you couldn't afford the $2 more Blockbuster charged and the rest is just cope
>>223434428the porn section you fag.
>>223433447>ITT zoomers not knowing about copying rented videos
