Movie Fan

            I enjoyed a lovely trip to the local movie store this week with a few friends. I had never been to this store, so I was looking forward to what it would be like. I was quite pleasantly surprised when I walked in and noticed the tables to sit down at. It seemed much more friendly than a place like blockbuster since you could sit down and maybe have some food as you talk to your friends. I also enjoyed the smell of pizza from behind the counter. I then continued into the store and looked at all of the movies. As a large fan of movies, I was quite at home in the store. I also did not think a small place like that would have so many movies. As a person who still owns a VHS, I had a large appreciation for the old school tapes. We spent a long time walking around the store looking at the new movies we have not seen yet and the old movies we have not seen in too long. After a long time arguing about which movie we should rent, we finally decided on scream 4. This was immediately followed by the realization that none of us had any money on us. However, we did get a little information sheet with all the prices on it. Even if we did have money, we did not have state ID’s or credit cards to get a membership. The one drawback was the prices of the movies. At the redbox, you can get a movie for about one dollar a night; with an additional dollar every night you keep the movie. It was like three bucks to rent a movie here and I am sure the late fees are even more. I found these prices a little ridiculous, but there were a lot of deals with buy on get one free movies, so it was not terrible. The trip was also not an entire waste because we had a quarter to get a gumball and if you get an orange gumball, you get a free rental. However, we just got a plain old yellow smiley face one, bummer.
