News You Can Use

Well, you can use it if you're still so techno-primitive/20th century you insist on owning actual copies of stuff to play on hardware you also own.

And if you do, you'll want to be at Rocket Video early this Sat. a.m., when everything goes on sale.

We quote:
Rocket Video will be closing its doors at the end of September.
All items will be for sale after 9/10/11.
last day to rent is 9/10/11

    They couldn't make some sort of transition to become a screening room/cafe/hangout for cinephiles/anything? Eh, so goes the world.

    Though we've never darkened their door, they've been in the same neighborhood for 20 yrs., & moved more or less across the street from their first location w/in the last five or so.

    Property values/rents in that 'hood are up. Lots of renovation going on. Friends have a shop down the street & managed to get a long-term, no-increase lease recently, & just in time, they said.

    No one (gross generalization, but ...) in L.A. likes hanging out, we'd rather get something to watch & head for home.

    This dump (Literally: you could trip on the tears in the carpet.) is nearby, & almost went out of business. Q. Tarentino took it over as a labor of love/nostalgia.
