I miss video stores, for sure. Blockbuster itself wasn’t great but it was so omnipresent in our lives that it has become shorthand for “video stores” the way Band-Aids are shorthand for adhesive medical strips. Often, when people reminisce about “Blockbuster,” it isn’t really about Blockbuster itself but just the culture of the rental store as it existed back then.

I much preferred Family Video over Blockbuster.

Hollywood video for me. Got my parents to rent a virtual boy so many times from there! Teleroboxer and galactic pinball were my shit!
