Brian Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 You had to wait about a year for a movie to come to video after it's theatre run? You had to look in an actual newspaper for movie theatre times? Carry on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 3, 2010 -> 11:00 AM) Once you left your house you couldn't contact your friends about where you were or how you would meet them at a certain place because there were no cell phones? This is what immediately came to my mind as well. It's strange to think I'm not even that old and I can speak of a time as recent as eight years ago that any teenager today probably couldn't imagine living in. Additional items: Arcades, and always anticipating new ones Dollar cinemas (none around where I live, anymore) and drive ins. Copying videos by hooking up two VCRs to each other AOL Mom and pop video stores (most notably those within a neighborhood where the owner lived above the store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
