I hate this new found nostalgia for Blockbuster. They were always the worst choice of video rentals, the company was funded by right wing interests and would censor films to appease them. They got ran out of my hometown after operating for like 4 years and Family Video expanded into all the former locations. FV was able to operate up until the pandemic because they actually integrated into the communities they were in. Ours one was selling CBD weed and had their own brewery in the end.

Rest In Power, Michael Brooks.
hell yeah. Nice. I think that is one of the interesting things about Blockbuster, is how it's like having nostalgia for Wal-Mart, it's bad but the things that have taken its place have just become progressively worse. Glad to hear your hometown eschewed the national chain in favor of FV
Damn it's almost like constant revolutionising of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones.
