      I just got to say bro I love this style of distressed VHS video !
      And if you're really into the visuals and iconography of all of these videos , if you ever find yourself in Las Vegas I strongly suggest you going to a bar called " The Double Down Saloon " !!!
      The owner , 'Moss', has got a bunch of CRT TVs hanging from the ceiling playing his own variety of essentially the same thing !
      Just with more of a classic campy horror movie and punk rock twist to it 🖤 !

    Anything 90's almost make me wanna cry. Such a time to be alive used to go the video store with my mother. I remember how over priced Blockbuster seemed. So going there renting and getting snacks felt like a special occasion.

    Arnold in “The Terminator” was the very first movie I rented at Block Buster to watch on my brand new $350 VHS player. A tradition continued for many many years.

    I dimly remember the first video store opening in my town, and I vividly remember the last one closing. A whole industry rose and fell within the span of about 30 years.
    There was something charming about going out and getting a movie. Today's streaming media, sure it's convenient but it doesn't feel special.

    While watching this the first time around it got me all nostalgic for my Orion TV/VCR combo that I used to make all sorts of smashed tapes of various movies and music videos back in the mid 90's !
    At which point whale watching the video I started looking on eBay and lo and behold I found my old girl 😍 !
    Think I'm going to buy her thanks to you , now time to watch your video again ❤🍻 !

    In the late 80s early 90s when I was a youngin' We had a Curtis Mathes store that would let you take out games and movies and pay for them when you returned them. It's madness to think about now. I remember renting a Super Nintendo there when I was about 11 with my Birthday money. Jurassic Park and Clayfighter sold the Snes for me. It costed $60.00 for the weekend. Bittersweet Nostalgia for gimmicky consumerism. What the hell happened?

    *sigh* I really wish I could go back to this world...for a great number of reasons. And not all of them are for depressing reasons, either! Some shit was just nice to have around and I miss it now that it's not! Maybe I should try to bring back rental stores...I'd include everything, not just DVDs and VHS. And you better believe I won't forget the candy.

    I miss the good ole days of going to the video store. I do not miss Bankbuster video and late fees. I’m glad they laughed at Netflix when offered to buy them for 5 million and Blockbuster video is corporate. Cronies laughed at them, literally refused. I think that would save a little over $1 billion last year kicking yourself in the ass much for that one someone is.
