@MissGayle I kind of miss those trips to Blockbuster, it was kind of an enjoyable family activity. Better than everyone staring at their own devices nowadays, maybe. (or maybe not, lol)
found myself remembering blockbuster nights all wistful like recently
anybody in the Sacramento area... maybe check out
(my watch list comes mostly from Fediverse recommenations)
Most recently watched:
Jackie Brown
The Bank Job
The Full Monty
Big Lebowski
Listers
8 Mile
The China Syndrome
Colossus: The Forbin Project
Animal House
In Michigan - many of our libraries have methods to transfer between each...
Local integrated library system (ILS)
OR MelCat -- for the State...

See if your libraries have something similar - especially if the distance is quite far.
@ai6yr I've been considering buying a DVD player (they're so damn cheap, or maybe find a used one) and getting DVDs out of the library to limit my options. With streaming services more often than not I will scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and never pick anything and then it's too late to watch anything anyway. 🤮
local thrift stores!!
@MsMerope @constantorbit Yeah, the endless scrolling is my problem as well, I'll look and never decide for an hour and a half. Too many choices. Better to borrow a single DVD at a time at the library.
@ai6yr Sounds like you're the perfect participant for this cool new DVD library sharing overlay... https://library.nomadovernormal.com/
@chrisnelder OOOH, NICE! Need to see if that works on my library.
@chrisnelder LOL that will just cause me to take longer to find DVDs, actually, now that I am browsing it. I really need "the Fediverse recommends" and to view those DVDs in order of recommendations, lol.
@ai6yr
Oddly, the world worked fine back when we had to go to blockbuster to get movies. Young people may have a hard time imagining...
