all the blockbusters closed down a few years ago around here, but the small town I grew up in still have a movie house. My parents still rent movies.

It's insane how fast blockbuster and similar companies have gone down in the US. It will happen here, too, but the speed in the US was insane.

Fast?...they've been in this city for probably twenty years.There were two in my area but one closed down about a year ago and I still occasionally rent from the remaining one.Every time I walk into the place I expect to see some kind of closing notice but none so far.Its got to happen sooner or later.I think the trifecta of cable,internet and bootleggery have done stores like them in.

NETFLIX ,, ECT ...imo:( but I have AMAZON, so not all is lost ,,but I will miss renting at the video store(the library still does dvd's for now ,, so if you get desperate a library card is your friend
 
Stuff like Red Box is pretty recent though...here anyways.Video rental stores have been a dying beast for the past few years.We used to have West Coast Video,Erols,Movies Unlimited,and Hollywood Video and they've all dropped off.
