Ship Of Theseus Bumper Sticker That Says My Other Ship Is This Ship

im not joking when i say my family and everyone i know watched more tv and movies when rental stores existed. there was an impetus to seek things out, an impetus to actually watch them because the money had been spent. there was an impetus to get something else you'd heard of if they'd run out of copies of what you wanted. there was much more exposure to things i mightn't have seen otherwise, because they weren't grouped or organised by some terrible predictive and motivated algorithm. they were organised by whichever nerd loved cinema enough to be the full time worker there and choose which movies to stock and which ones to highlight!!! the same nerd could point you in the direction of something you might like based on what you watched and liked, human to fucking human!!!

not to mention that the sociality and FUN of watching the rented movie together with a bag of microwave popcorn far beats mindlessly chucking on whatever slop netflix is shoving down your throat on its recommended page. the joy of it being YOUR turn to pick the weekend/school holidays movies and video games was unparalleled!!!!! come back to me video rental stores i miss you...
