You still rent movies? At a Blockbuster?

I found an actual physical movie rental store a few months ago and it's been really nice renting from them. Costs a little more than redbox or on-demand but the selection is much better and it's actually curated a little bit and you have real people around you that you can ask about the movies.
When I first went in I figured they must be on their last legs but I've found that a lot of old people are usually in the store so they're tapping the whole market of tech-illiterates and the nostalgic. It really is a nice feeling to go rent a movie and have a deadline of when to return it instead of the overwhelming Netflix where I end up browsing and maybe watching nothing.
In Netflix's defense, I just watched Cave of Forgotten Dreams on there and loved it. There were moments when it was sappy but the gestalt of the images, music, and Werner Herzog's voice affected me and it was a feel-good film.
