At least that’s what it seem like Blockbuster et. al are thinking these days. It used to be you could go in and find tons of movie choices.
Now, more than half the shelves are filled with video games. Row after row of Nintendo 64, Playstation, and God knows what else.
Then, the large sale sections dedicated to unloading all the pre-viewed overrun stock.
With the additional tendency to keep 30+ copies of all the new releases, it is very difficult to find older or less well-known movies. I mean, I like classics, foreign films, quirky comedies, Sci-Fi, horror, and the like, in addition to major studio releases. But try to find a good selection amidst the games and 50 copies of the latest pile of Hollywood crapola.
I guess mail-order rentals are the way to go.
(Not pit-worthy, but definitely something that bugs me).
