guess I don't have to see the movie now.

He was in a lot of absolute shit in the 90s. I don't know if he needed money or what, but it's like he couldn't turn down a script for kid-friendly slapstick comedies.

Was in the horror section. Parents let me watch horror when I was a kid. Saw this and it changed me forever.

Our Movie Gallery had a twisted, melted copy of this movie suspended over the register with a warning not to leave a VHS in a hot car.

No porno section in Blockbuster. They didnt even carry explicit R rated

...

My blockbuster definitely had a porno section. in the back behind a door with a red welcome carpet.

...

This

great choice. lovely atmosphere for a move of that decade.

they made way too many of these, but earnest scared stupid is probably the best one.

It wasnt a Blockbuster. If it was, he was doing his own thing but I doubt it. Tightly controlled franchise
Source: I worked there

Blockbuster was too far away when I was a kid (closest was 20 miles away). But my cool as fuck neighbor worked for the cable company and hooked us up with free Showtime and all the pay-per-view stations...including the Playboy channel.

I was 14. Pic related.

how did everything get so bad?

every decade is worse

Unless they changed the policy later on? I remember visiting my local one before it closed down on lakeshore (ontario) and it definitely had one.

I'll give it a whirl

blockbuster thought redbox was the way to go. frankly i can't believe redbox is still a thing. I only see them in the ghetto so i assume the discs are one time use only

I'll second, no porn sections - BBV upper managment were pretty conservative. But I'll be goddamned if I didn't rent Emmanuelle in Space from my old store. There were a handful of softcore flicks. I remember renting them out to a bunch of old guys; the same guys every week.

Maybe Canada market.
>Wikipedia:
>Representing itself as a family-friendly chain, Blockbuster never rented or sold pornographic titles in the US market (other markets vary)

Before BB, there were many small video shops, after BB the ones that survived always had an adult room to compete. Thats how I remember

On some weekends with family we went to the mall, grabbed some popcorn stopped by blockbuster on the way home from the mall. Comfy af tbqh.

If it was possible to rent in 97 then definitely boogie nights =) that roller girl!

I worked for Blockbuster towards the end, 2006 - 2009. Policy on porn never changed: Nothing harder than Red Shoe Diaries.

Dracula Dead And Loving It

Yeah. Started dating girls around then, og Netflix and chill wandering around those carpeted isles. It was a surprise BBV vanished- everyone went there, not everyone is on Netflix

Pluto Nash in 3D

>Blockbuster
>1997

Basically buy Netflix.

Cable Guy

Jacob's Ladder

>Netflix exists in 1997

You mean invent Netflix, which wouldn't work yet anyway because high speed broadband internet is not yet a thing.
