Block buster didn't have ads turning the movie, just some trailers you could skip. Plus when I went to block buster we'd find something(s) and go home an watch it. Not this scroll through a mountain of the same crap in different categories just to maybe find something after a much longer period of time.

Fuck we had it good with blockbuster.
