Lately I've only been to the brick-and-mortars to buy the cheap DVDs as they're closing.
I do miss the experience of going to them to pick up a movie. I'm surprised I still have friends because I used to make them mad trying to pick one out.
It's similar to the old-school movie theatres closing on account of the new state-of-the-art facilities offering an "experience".
Thanks Terrence. I can totally see that.
