My favorite job had always been and to this day a Blockbuster Video store manager. It wasn’t a truly great company, but there was always something about talking to customers who loved movies just as much as I did.

I remember these long talks to regulars about the films they watched, or I did, especially this one kid who was in high school. He was a giant movie geek, who’d run into the store just to talk to me about what he had just seen. While I remember him fondly, I don’t know whatever happened to him.

This is something you don’t get anymore with the invention of streaming.

Nope, we were all kicked to the curb like the video store didn’t matter.

I watch movies for entertainment not because it has some profound experience in my life. I post quick reviews but don’t get too involved with production values, unless it mattered to me. It’s either enjoyable or not… Don’t expect an essay for films I watch.
