Thank you Dirk. I'm feeling you, it sucks not having video stores and if we don't quit Netflix and start buying physical home media, we're going to.lose that too as Disney have already stopped selling blurays into Australasia 😢 Please let me know any ideas you'd like to see for the channel, for me to do videos on etc. Thanks for subbing. PS What do you think of my Blockbuster so far?
Thanks to Blockbuster I watched several movies that to this date I have never watched on tv again, those movies that were never shown in the theaters at least not in Mexico. I miss the feeling of going to the store and read the synopsis, who the actors were, talking to the store clerk and getting recommendations. Those were the days, I am feeling nostalgic. I dont have Netflix or another streaming service. Enjoy the store Stephen, you have done a great job.
Thank you so much Elvi. I hope the continuing videos I make on my Blockbuster brings back those nostalgic feelings and memories for you. How good were those exciting nights hunting for great films and hidden treasures. That feeling of community was so great 😊
In the distant eighties, before the Internet killed the video star, video stores (video clubs here) were places where you could disappear for whole afternoons. That's why I share your enthusiasm and your feelings. I congratulate you on your video palace. Thank you for inviting us to visit it. Video stores were full of interesting people you could talk to (except for the fat guy who rented porn and the teenagers who rented SEGA cartridges, all of them infiltrators). These characters, along with the catalogs with the latest releases, thick as phone books, the kids who ran through the carpeted hallways, the know-it-all who recommended movies and spoiled the endings, or that other guy who rented movies and didn't return them for months (I remember a guy who held Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park hostage for six months), or the grandfather who brought westerns with Colonel Tim McCoy, all of these are the inhabitants of a universe that no longer exists. I don't share the enthusiasm for the name BLOCKBUSTER, because for those of us working in smaller video, that was the name of the enemy; the equivalent of the big corporate sharks. But today, since there are no longer any big fish or small fish, I understand and share the nostalgia.
Always had to watch out for the fatty and the porn but not at Blockbuster thank goodness 😂 You're very welcome Nic, glad my video gave you the nostalgia feels. It must have been great working in the video store you worked at. Thank you for watching and the great comment.
Amazing! It's going to be great watching your journey. So cool to see a SACEBALLS highlight. This won't be realistic enough though unless you let fines accumulate into the thousands and then drop 50% off if they pay when you call them.
@@hmmthinking4208 🤣🤣🤣🤣oh don't you worry, the fines are coming and Biff & Rocko will be sent to collect 😂 Thank you for the support and happy you enjoyed the video 😁
I just want one set of shelving and a sign to put my video games on. I miss Blockbuster more than any store that has gone by the wayside. We traded an experience for laziness disguised as convenience. There's no passion involved with staring at a screen full of thumbnails for 30 mins only to find out the movie you want is on another service you have to pay even more money for. Everything about the Blockbuster experience was as magical as walking through Disney World. Renting a game on a summer weekend, having friends come over and pull an all-nighter to try to beat the whole game, watching the new release movies. What did we give up? A real human experience, not a video store, an experience.
😂😂😂😂😂 I pronounce words correctly unlike Minty, God bless him and unlike Minty, I review current films, have made films and pick.out the correct Blockbuster yellow colour to paint my Blockbuster 😂 Welcome to my channel, stick with me, things will get good 😊
I want to be the first to congratulate you on a job well done!
Thank you so much Matt for the kind words. I'm sure you saw some 007 goodies of mine hidden away in this video 😊
Really appreciate your kindness.
Blockbuster Video? WOW, what a diffe-rence! (Hehe, I’m typing this when the commercial suddenly plays.)
I do the miss video stores. Subscribed 👍
