Quick one here folks. But a big question: What happened to the old video shop? Or how the hell do you get films these days?
There’s a whole bunch of ways. Downloads (free or otherwise), Subscription ( You know – getting that scratched up DVD in the post), or fronting up with real cash for a piece of plastic that you’ll watch once and then it ends up taking space on a shelf until your through with it, and then where does it go then? Landfill?
Is the romance gone? What inspires you? Is there a place (online or off) that’s still got it?
Best video rentals in your neighbourhood? Video rental vs Downloads? Itunes?
Jump in. Get involved. Big up what’s great. Your Country Needs You.
