Video store era over---Blockbuster closes

[Capt Worley PE]

So who's gonna hit the big discount sales at Blockbuster this week?

So my wife and I went to a Building 19 last weekend to see what they had. Posted ads said they were selling things 10-30% off the marked prices (not a huge savings in my mind over their typical prices). The store was virtually picked clean. It was amazing how bare the place was. It's only been about a week since they announced their imminent closing.

Not me. Everything can be watched online or in a digital format.

I'm going to ask to see their VHS selection.

Who needs Blockbuster, when you've got some video place right here in town, I don't know the name and I've never been there. OK, maybe I see your point.

the last several movies we borrowed from the library have been scratched up really bad, they all had chapters we had to skip becuase it froze up.

You try cleaning them? We have to do that every so often to a rental.

Libraries are probably next after video stores...

Excellent parenting!

Not that you are my age. Oh wait, you are.
