The demise of Netflix dvd service makes me so happy I live near a large independent video store. I still think there is something worthwhile about the in person video store. Also at least for me it’s cheaper than renting from Amazon.

Glad to hear ‘Beau Is Afraid’ is as awful as the trailer suggests. Was on the verge of giving me a panic attack.

“My father doesn’t respect my wish to become an arena-fighting monkey.” Thank you, Alyssa, for making me realize I’ve misjudged Mario all these years. I should have paid attention in the 90s.

Ode to Netflix disc service. Back in the day, it was the superior choice to get Blu-ray discs! Your local Blockbuster had *nothing* compared it.

I subscribed to Blockbuster's service as well around 2005 - could return them / exchange them in person at the Eastern Market Blockbuster on 8th Street SE. I believe they passed on the opportunity to buy Netflix around that time actually!! 👀
