[quote=ynwtf]Oh yeah!
Mom worked some nights at a local video shop when I was in middle school. Just a step up from a gas station rental. I think it was Video Palace. Anyway, she got crazy discounts and would usually bring home like 5 movies at a time. Anything from the regular older releases was fair game, and only a new release if it didn't rent that night. She closed, so we were burning through movies. I watched a LOT of JCVD back then. They rented SNES games too. UGH. I miss the excitement of her coming of with videos reeking of cigarette smoke lol. I suppose it was no mystery that the place eventually burned down. =\ It's a subway shop, now.[/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]I've been regaled with the stories of kids who rented a system and left feeling like a gangsta with that padded case. Instant Bond villain status. Roll up on a fellow 7th grader with that in your grip.[/font][/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][quote=ynwtf]I remember  seeing [i]Hardware Wars[/i] on HBO when I was a lil kiddo. I never knew the name of it and only had very brief memories of it growing up until one night, while at the local Blockbuster Video in my college years, I saw and eerily familiar VHS case graphic on the bottom shelf. [i]Hardware Wars[/i]! That was it![b] I miss Blockbuster Video. Prices were insane (IMHO), but selection was great for a bored college kid.[/b] That was my gateway to anime. [i]Ghost in the Shell[/i] might have been my first, thanks to Blockbuster.[/quote]

[font=century gothic]There were always the local shops (Action Video) and Phar-Mor. You might get lucky, but often left settling for anything.

Then there were the trips to Blockbuster. It was a longer trip to and then the depressing longer trip to return. But, man o' man, they had 60 copies of everything. You really felt like you had arrived if you went to the [color=blue]Blue n[/color][color=yellow]' Yella[/color] :yup:[/font][/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][quote=Yoda]I'll agree with the overarching plan stuff. Obviously, I'm on record as liking the chances they took in TLJ (and there are a few I think even the people who hate it ought to be able to admit could be very good/intriguing if done well), but it sounds like they weren't willing to fully commit to an overarching plan [i]or[/i] being genuinely freeform, both which could work fine if committed to.[/quote]

[font=century gothic]In as rambled and incoherent as I can be...

I think part of my feelings come from the question, 

"When are you gonna see the new...?"

[right]"Probably never."[/right]

*harumph* "Oh, you're not a real Star Wars fan."

It's not lost on me that there are a number of things at play, mainly the loss of a child's sense of wonderment.[/font][/quote]
