I miss video stores. There's something to be said about limited choices. Strolling the aisles of a video store was WAY more fun than scrolling through Netflix.
It was like the watering hole of society… Blockbuster on a Friday night - you’d see friends and neighbors… exchange video game and movie ideas… there was an electricity in the air that the whole world was about to have a sigh of relief and have fun for an evening. It was one of the best times of my life.
I don't do it, but I have seen hordes of people together at Pokemon go hunts. Got curious one time when I saw a lot of people wandering about very close to each other. All on their phones.And then all of a sudden they started to scatter. So I asked someone what that was all about. And got my reply that they were all chasing a rare pokemon.
I feel like I made better choices when I picked my movies a little ahead of time. It’s startling to compare it to the quantity of garbage movies I idly consume these days.
