    The romanticization of Blockbuster, a behemoth that came into towns and destroyed local video stores as well as the wider variety of movies they offered, is weird.

        i'm thinking it's an indicator of how much worse things have gotten since then, that Blockbuster now seems preferable to Netflix etc

        Things are way better now though. If you know where to look you can find pretty much any film you could ever want to watch for free without having to go outside at all. The romanticisation of Blockbuster is pure nostalgia.

        Owned by religious zealots, I think. I can't recall which sect? Maybe Latter-Day Saints?

        as someone who worked at an alt video store and patronizes the 1 close to me still...i still enjoyed the blockbuster propaganda movie just bc it was more broadly nostalgic for video rental. but yeah fuck blockbuster other than the 1 lady managing the 1 remaining blockbuster lol

        Celebrating dead corporations/brands is always weird, except maybe when repurposing an old logo. Even then, weird.

        potomac video in DC (not maryland, confusingly) somehow outlasted all the local blockbusters. i’ll always remember how the last movie i checked out there was Troll 2 and then they closed before i had the chance to return it.
