Not even new releases could save it
It seems so archaic, thinking back on our old Friday night ritual of going to Blockbuster to try to find a movie to rent. One we’d both agree on. One we hadn’t already seen. One that was still on the shelf.
So it came down to this.

I hadn’t thought much about going to Blockbuster until I was writing this post – it’s one of those things that slipped away without my noticing.

Sad. It’s almost like a slow creeping dementia in reverse, the past is disappearing.
