Valley Of The Dead (Malnazidos)

Adam Remembers the Video Store - Were My Co-Workers Too Brain-Damaged to Complain?

For years, Adam worked weekends at his nearby video rental store. In February 2016, the owner retired and sold the company to some new entrepreneurs. They decided to close up the location he was working at, leaving him with free weekends and a horde of memories. These stories need to be shared in a segment called…

In addition to renting out DVDs (and later, Blu-rays), the video store where I used to work sold a significant amount of cigarettes. I'm not sure how that works in other countries, but in Canada, you’re not allowed to sell or advertise them to minors. For the video store, this means all of the tobacco was hidden beneath the counter or above it in this opaque plastic box whose access was covered by a black curtain. All the best-selling brands were stored above, which was convenient… except any time you walked between the two tills. If you did, you were sure to bump your head. Either my coworkers and I were all abnormally tall, or whoever set it up initially was a gnome. For most of my years at the store, I worked part time. It's possible I just never developped the muscle memory to duck constantly, but I think everyone there either didn't have the initiative, or was too afraid to do anything about it.

One day, I finally got fed up. It was a slow Sunday morning so I just went ahead and adjusted the height. I probably should’ve asked but I was frequently left to my own devices inside the store. We got an announcement that we were closing shop a few weeks later. Whether anyone noticed the adjustment or not, I’ll never know but since no one said anything, I assume I could’ve made the adjustment years prior and saved myself a lot of headaches…

If you want to watch a new release. Just use Redbox. It's so much cheaper than trying to rent online and safer than pirating when you don't know what you're doing. Also buying Redbox movies are so much cheaper than everywhere else? I just found that out today.

Mr. Malitek does not care if a movie is likable; he wants it to shock, and therefore to be remembered, and he thinks that response can be heightened by shrouding the movie in mystery.

His taste mirrors his style. Contemporary mass-market American films are “propaganda,” he said; the internet “destroyed art.” But in underground, old and foreign cinema, Mr. Malitek finds the authenticity that he associates with the macabre.

He likes Japanese films best. “They don’t have those ridiculous happy ends,” he said. “They speak to the life.”

Will is a man after my own heart. I too can't stand the artificiality of mainstream American movies.

What I don't get about the password-sharing fiasco is....if it was the olden days and you rented a couple DVD/VHS movies, until you brought them back to the shop you could do whatever with them.

You could give them to other people to watch. You could show a movie to a group of ten friends. You had already paid for the tapes, so who was going to care what you did with them in that time?

Similarly, if you have already paid for a Netflix/Max/Dianey+/Paramount+/whatever subscription, you're getting charged monthly for that. The companies have already decided how much it is worth to rent their entire catalogue to you for a month.

So during your "rental period" for these movies and shows, who are they to say what you do with them? If you have someone over for Netflix and chill, they aren't part of your household, so should they not be able to watch a movie you are renting? If you want your friends to see something cool, who cares if they live a town away? That movie is still being paid for, and your "rental" will renew the following month when you pay your bill.

It feels like going to a video store, paying for a bunch of movies, then having to march back to the store with the friend who's going to watch them with you so they can also pay for the movies......while you're still renting them.
