Five thirty on a Thursday night I walked to The Movie Fan
with my roommate. At first I never even knew where it was. When I saw it I didn’t
even recognize it even though I recognized everything else around it. The first
thing I noticed was the table section which confused me because I’ve never seen
a place to eat in a movie store. I thought that was very different but I didn’t
know what to think about it. I still don’t. Once I got in I was shocked by how
many movies there were in such a small place.
Once my roommate and I took it all in we started cruising
through the isles looking at all the titles we had to choose from. We probably
spent an hour just looking around. I think I could go my entire life watching a
few movies a day and still not make it through all the movies in that store. Even
if I didn’t include any new movies and excluded all the movies I don’t like I still
couldn’t see them all. We found a bunch of movies that we wanted to watch. It’s
so much nicer than how Netflix works. With Netflix there is no way to see every
movie they have available and unless you know what movie you want to watch
there is no way to look through a broad enough list to find one you want to
watch.
I liked the Movie Fan because of how much they carry and the
local feel. When I use to go to the chain movie stores it wasn’t that exciting,
but that might be because I was little and didn’t care. The other thing that
was nice is how approachable the staff is unlike the big chain movie rental
places are. The one thing I didn’t like about The Movie Fan was that to rent a
movie you have to have an account which prevented me from getting a movie. Other
than that I thought it was a good experience.
