This is why i miss video rental stores.

Noy only was there none of this bullshit.

You got to walk up and down the aisles and discover things you'd never see otherwise.

All while eating a enormous tub of popcorn that you got to buy for only 99 cents.

I miss the friday evening ritual of going to the rental shop and picking up two movies and a game for the weekend so goddamn much.

Tub of popcorn for 99c? How old are you? I mean shit you can still do this. Dollar store microwave popcorn, c it better yet. An air popper and a huge jar of popping corn. Not only that but hell I get to sit at home browse through all my streaming services and if I need to rent something I can rent something if not typically I don't even have to rent, it's just available.

That being said the original meme on here did actually affect me last night. I really wanted to watch Quentin Tarantino's grindhouse and apparently it's unavailable on all streaming services but I could rent it for $3.99. really didn't want to so I chose not to and watch something else instead.
