I miss video stores in general.

I hear ya brotha. Community can be found, but it really is rare in any business environment. I deeply miss the camaraderie with my employees, but also, the regulars. It's sorta like the local coffee shop or bar. It just has that consistency in employees and clientele that make it part of a community.
In the movie, I particularly appreciated the aficionado/academic who was extolling the virtues of a physical experience with media. I thought she made several excellent points.
