Rose colored glasses?
Bro a rental was $4 for three days and a late fee was $10. In 1999 money, that would be $7.39 today, and the late fee would be $18.50.
Blockbuster deserved to die.
Even before they got rid of late fees you could always weasel your way out of them if you really wanted.
It's pretty dope when ur not the one paying lol
Peak good times was when they got rid of late fees.
Definitely correct with regards to Blockbuster.
I think more specifically this brings back feelings of the social side of video stores and being a kid and doing everything with a group. Usually we'd have friends over (mine or my siblings) to watch the movies with us. I'm an adult now and still happy but I miss all the social things I used to do with my friend group. I still see them but not as often and almost never all at the same time. Youth is an interesting time of life.
Not rose coloured for me. I made VHS copies of the ones I loved with masking tape on the front as a label. Got great use out of those copies. And all for a low, low price!
