In 2024 I'm cancelling as many streaming services as I can and turning to the video store instead. I'm a member at Videotheque and Vidiots in LA.
1. I find my watching to be way more intentional renting a DVD or Blu-Ray. I have to return it so I have to watch it and this is what I picked.
2. The browsing is much more pleasurable in person than the dang scroll! You can pick up a bunch of stuff and put it back when you figure out what you want.
3. If I pay late fees I feel like I am making a charitable donation.
4. Video store clerks are so cool!
