Headed to do an interview at one of the greatest video stores ever made: Movie Madness in Portland, OR. YES I said Video Store. I'm in the last stages of a new doc about the video store era and Movie Madness is one of the last stores standing. Obviously the tech is beyond obsolete, so why do people keep going?

People love nostalgia? It's all they have nowadays since culture is dead 🤷♂️ everything is a remake of what is in that store basically haha. I look forward to seeing this, lots of us on here were Blockbuster regulars ✌️❤️🌞

That's definitely part of it, but there's something deeper too, bc it's not just nostalgia for the movies. Movies are more available now than ever before (for instance a lot of silent films are old enough to be public domain at this point, so they're on YouTube). People are nostalgic for shared interest communities.
