Sometimes I don't even understand how people have fun anymore , everything about our society now Is so sterile , generic , homogenized , void of character , distinct culture , or any sense of diverse adventurous discovery thanks to the Internet , even that has long tapped out of Innovation and no longer feels free or like escaping from the typical toxicities of society. Everybody follows the exact same handful of trends for the most part and frequents the exact same 5 copycat social media platforms , everyone even talks the same no matter where they're from , there's no Individuality anymore we all just mimic what eachother's doing according to social media , and the obsession and misuse of social media absolutely destroyed us beyond repair. 80s and 90s were the pinnacle IIlusory display of the American dream and final nail In the coffin before the 00s began and everyone started waking up to the lie.

Sure girls in skimpy bunny suits look cute but they can't exactly compete with a strip joint especially with the admission price difference. Also since when is feminism anti-sex? A lot of feminists are porn stars actually. Feminism is about equal rights for men and women. Yaknow like right to vote, right to work, right to same wage for same job, and not being shamed for having a sex life. Like Amanda Todd was bullied to death for having cam sex. Like wtf.

Until about 1992 many stores also had large inventories of Beta tapes, which I preferred over VHS because of the slightly sharper picture. Best of all, I frequented two places that not only were 24 hour, but had large selections of Laser Discs from about 1986 - 1997. Cable at the time had about 325 lines of resolution, where VHS had about 240, Beta had 250, and Laser Disc had 425! When DVD came out around 1995 I did some side by side comparisons and knew it over for the other formats. The good part though was after about 2000, a lot of rental stores had plenty of DVDs for rent as the previous formats were retired. Around 2010, I got into Blu Ray for a while, which reminded me a lot of enjoying the quality difference of Laser Disc over tape. It was a treat. It was also just fun to browse around in those rental stores. Sadly, it's gone now in most cities.

I was terrified but thrilled by the scary covers of movies like Sleepaway Camp, Hellraiser, Nightmare on Elmstreet, I was especially intrigued by the cover to a movie called April Fool's Day because it had a picture of a woman who's hair was braided into a noose and I wanted to braid my hair like that. I don't think I knew back then really what a noose was for. It's been fun as an adult and watching all the films I was so drawn to as a child, but too young and scared to watch back then.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) is the best zombie movie of all time. That was a nice surprise that it popped up here. I was 10 when we rented it the first time. Sick stuff. It's great when parents let you rent.

Fun video! It sure was a struggle choosing a movie back then. Worst part was when they were out of the one you wanted!

Ahahaha! I remember when I was a kid, I'd always go to the horror section and check out all the horror movies. My parents would never let me rent them. I'd always end up renting 'Heavy Weights' or 'Ernest goes to Jail.' Those were the good old days. It's crazy because a lot of those rental store properties are now sectioned off and leased to multiple companies at a time. I can't imagine a building that size dedicated to just video renting! Things changed so fast!

Story of my life...I used to run to the horror section but would end up renting Popples or Boris and Natasha, but aways wanted to rent the scary ones. A few years later my aunt started letting me rent horror movies when I stayed at her house. The first one I rented was Sleepaway Camp.

When we got the first video store in our town. My buddy and i went wild. Ran to adventure time videos . Checked out a bunch of movies and vcr. Took awhile to figure out how to plug it in. Sat back with our pop corn and drinks. Then fell asleep. 😂 but it was still fun.

think i was 10 years old when we got our first vcr, a betamax, our first film, hawk the slayer. it was great ! The only frustration was that one of my favourite films 'war of the worlds' (the 1950's one, this is the early 80s) wasnt available in the video shop I went to on beta - only VHS ! Still, seeing this videos of a video shop was great - I think one of the best films I ever saw on VHS was 'once upton a time in america' - i couldnt belive the run time of this film, but it was fantastic - oh, and I still own my limited edition double VHS box set of Akira :)

I'm from '85.. when my parents would go out in the weekend and my 5y older brother had to babysit me early 90s, he would take me, even tho it was pretty far and that was absolutely not allowed, to videoland. So at age 6-7-8 I was watching hellraiser, children of the corn, the exorcist, all the jean-claude van damme of course. etc... the people at the rental store didn't give a fuck 2 little kids came in at 10pm renting those movies.. the world wasn't so careful and afraid all the time

Oh I remember the excitement of going to the video store to pick out a movie. It was all part of the night. You would make a date of it. Go to the video store, pick up some popcorn to make at home, and a few boxes of candy. Then you had the whole stress of getting that video back or they would charge you every day over that you had it. This could run up a huge bill if you forgot for a week or two.

I was born in 1980. Times were sometimes boring, but for the most part cool back then. I had a punk step dad but I still had an okay childhood. Seems like today we don't talk to each other like back then. I have to make my 18 and 20 Year olds get off the phone just for conversations. Said to say the least. Times need to become more simple again to get back what we had in the 80's and 90's.
