I absolutely miss the experience of walking around local video stores (Blockbuster being the last of these). Compared to the experience of searching for a movie on Netflix and the damn thing trying to gaslight me into forgetting what I searched for?

Yeah fuck off! I’ll take plain old shelves any day! I can see what they have and what they don’t have! I can also talk to the people who work there (often big movie fans) and get recommendations from a real human being who can explain why they like a movie rather than just “people who liked this movie also liked that movie.”

Go to the library. They'll have shelves full of dvds you can browse for the same experience without being charged an absurd fee.
