Well i haven't stepped into a blcokbuster in nearly a year. But my little brother wanted to rent Swordfish + had a free block favs rental coupon-which restricts new releases,dvdsect!!!
So that sucks & i figured i rent a movie on video just forthe hell of it since it's free.
Anyway..they only have about 4 copies of Swordfish on dvd....my brother was gonna rent it on video,but i said no since it was shot in 2.35 & would look horrible in P&S.
Get this.....they have a notice on the shelf that the dvds for the movie are behind the counter & you have to ASK to rent them! Meanwhile all there other dvds & videos are on the shelf!
For video i picked out Night of the Demons to give it another chance. I saw it once years ago & hated it because i took it seriously,instead of expecting a camp movie,lol. + the box makes the movie look like it's supposed to be scary ect. Shockingly they had the Unrated version,same thing with Waxwork! Funny thing is the R rated versions of both of those movies must be hard to find,since every video store i've seen them in are always the Unrated version. Meanwhile i can't find the Unrated version of Dead Alive for sale on video. Of course i'll get that on dvd,but just find it strange how only one versions avalible for sale on video,while they have the uncut dvd.
So at the counter i asked for Swordfish & the clerk looked at me weird,like "you want to rent that,why??" then said "are you sure?"- i bet corporates harassing all the employee's with there bs.
She didn't see to happy about her job + i saw a manager ordering her around when i got in line.
To no suprise there was a late fee as always. Though i do think my older brother did return his movies a day late last time he rented. So at least it wasn't the rip-off scam the always pull. But i am done for good with Blockcensor & while the restof my family may rent there. I'm going elsewhere if i ever rent,which is rarely now that only crappy corporate chains are everywhere.
I'm gonna return the movies today 1 1/2 days til they have to be in & i can bet you all my $$,there'll be a late charge next time someone inmy family rents. There always is......Blockbuster sucks!!
btw- Swordfish wasn't that bad & you should at least rent(or buy) it & tell BB to shove off.
Also start bringing up a storm about the P&S only Mummy Returns(which my lil bro stopped me from bringing up,because i was about to mention it to them). I didn't like the movie as much,but no OAR at all is just wrong.
