    Block buster didn’t have ads turning the movie, just some trailers you could skip. Plus when I went to block buster we’d find something(s) and go home an watch it. Not this scroll through a mountain of the same crap in different categories just to maybe find something after a much longer period of time.

    Fuck we had it good with blockbuster.

        The only ads in the store I remember where card board signs similar to what you see at the theater. That’s not at all the same as 1 or more 30 second unskippable add.

          there were also these TVs in the store. sometimes we’d get to watch movies, sometimes they’d have these ads on them. one summer i was working 3 or 4 jobs i can’t remember (it was a summer) and one of them was blockbuster.
