James, Justin, and Kieran traveled to the last Blockbuster Video that's located in Bend, Oregon!! They took a road trip down from Portland, after Portland Retro Gaming Expo weekend October, 2019. The sights, sounds, and smells of their old stomping grounds was like something else. A flash from the past, where you would always go every Friday night to get the newest movie releases, hottest games, or obscure b-movie rentals. Sadly, Blockbuster's 9,000 world-wide locations dwindled down to just one. But, that comes with everything turning digital... or with movies just slapped into the Red Box at your local grocery store. Regardless, the Last Blockbuster in Bend is a tribute to anyone who lived in the 90s, especially with their museum section and classic memorabilia everywhere. Thanks to the owner Sandi for allowing us to film in the store! And, sorry that our audio isn't the best, the store is very active.

First off, this was filmed in October, 2019... way before the virus stuff. We traveled to the last Blockbuster Video that's located in Bend, Oregon!! The sights, sounds, and smells of their old stomping grounds was like something else. A flash from the past, where you would always go every Friday night to get the newest movie releases, hottest games, or obscure b-movie rentals. Sadly, Blockbuster's 9,000 world-wide locations dwindled down to just one. But, that comes with everything turning digital... or with movies just slapped into the Red Box at your local grocery store. Regardless, the Last Blockbuster in Bend is a tribute to anyone who lived in the 90s, especially with their museum section and classic memorabilia everywhere. Thanks to the owner Sandi for allowing us to film in the store! And, sorry that our audio isn't the best, the store is very active!!

I miss video rental stores like Blockbuster and Hollywood Video. It was a thing, you go out with your spouse/bf/gf/family and pick out a movie. You discuss it and sometimes have to argue your point and sometimes have to put one movie back. Then you stand there a while at the return area in hopes of getting that hot new release. Then you head out and get your eats, whether at your fave restaurant or the store for a munchie/popcorn/candy run. Then an hour or so has passed and you arrive back at home with anticipation running high you pop the movie in and watch a double feature. It was fun. I miss that.

We have a video rental place here in keizer, oregon called mr. Dvd. I keep swearing its a front for a drug business, because I just can't fathom there being enough of a market for it to survive. But it seems to be thriving, and I always see people there. I think there are a lot of people both young and old, who just don't want or know how to hassle with p2p, and aren't inconvenienced by a quick trip to rent a movie and return it. I also can't believe redbox is even viable. But people still are into renting physical media i suppose.

Wow i got emotional watching this. I was raised by my grandparents. And from the age of 4 until the age of 17 me and grandparents every single Sunday literally every Sunday, we went to blockbuster. Would buy some movies and rent some and maybe rent some games for myself. Then wed go get lunch from McDonald's or taco bell go home eat and wed each watch the movies we got. Grandma in her room, grandpa in living room and id watch in the kitchen on our small tv. I miss that more than anything in the world. This video made me so happy and sad and confused all in one. Damn i also remember eventually we also started checking out hollywood video after we went to blockbuster. Seriously tho yes we went every Sunday for all those years. Was our tradition i guess.

Don't forget this was their decision. Blockbuster had a chance to buy Netflix outright during their infancy, it failed to adapt to Redbox and Streaming services. The consumer will almost always vote for the most convenient solution to their entertainment and blockbuster just lagged behind.
