@sinbach we rarely rented movies because the store was 10 miles away! Then, finally!! a little store just 5 miles away made room in a corner for a few. Ya had to go early or the newest movies would be gone.
I too am glad it's history... I'm not much of a movie watcher anyway.
@MaryMamuzich for me, movies and books have different phases in my life. sometimes I'm in a place in life where books are the only thing I care to consume. And sometimes, a movie hits the right spot. Movies have a group experience component that can be experienced together with others. I like that. Books are more of a journey in solitude and at times, I like that too. All depends I guess
