Something is happening with Blockbuster. They reactivated all of their social media accounts and posted please be kind while we rewind.

I’m old enough to remember when video rental stores started popping up in the early 80s. Back then you’d go in and before looking for your movies, you’d make sure they hadn’t already rented out all their VCRs.

Man what a great time to be a kid. There was a fantastic chinese takeout spot next to ours growing up, so friday nights we'd run to blockbuster and get a movie and a game for the weekend when the N64 came out, candy, and Chinese for dinner.

I remember my dad cussing up a storm trying to figure out how to work our first VCR

Oh! What an exhilarating feeling when father would dispatch one of our valets, Robert, to procure a copy of The Lion King for sister and i to watch. I can still taste the delectable cookie dough morsels and sour orchard children!

Man going to Blockbuster on Friday night getting an R rated movie because my Grandma didn't know what Child's Play was. Ahh to be a kid again.

My dad was the moron who bought a Betamax.

Man.. while my renting period is a few years after 93, this brings me back
Could get a new movie and and old movie for $3.21
Could rent an N64 game too if I was feeling it
I’d charge to our account and walk right out the door . That was so much fun
My parents would order me a pizza and they’d go to the casinos or to dinner or a concert ,and my Friday night was LIT

Our mom bought us a VCR from Sears & Roebuck around 1982-1983. My brother and I were so excited that we had our very own VCR. We got it home and when she tired to hook it up, it would not work. She finally figured out the problem was the little needle in the coaxial cable was broken. Instead of going back to Sears to get a replacement cable, which I’m sure they’d have given her for free since it came out of the box broken, she got so mad she returned the whole damn VCR and refused to allow another one in the house.

We actually paid for our first VCR in installments. Circa 1981.

Ah the disappointment of having 20 cases showing the movie you wanted to see but nothing behind the case

I remember the agony of spending an entire frickin summer day running errands with my mom -- school uniform pants, shoes at Mervyns, groceries at Delchamps...
And then seeing that blue and yellow sign approaching, my mom slowing down, praying to God before.... the turn signal.
Then spending 30 minutes in a panic on the SNES aisle like I was a contestant on Supermarket Sweep
