I worked at a tiny college town video store on 9/11. We only had one customer all day, an older guy in a nice suit, who told me it was all a conspiracy to get people to donate blood and then he rented The Crew
I know nostalgia for Blockbuster is a thing. I don’t really remember it that way. I remember it having fewer movies than the stores I went to as a kid. But I worked at Blockbuster when I was 17.
Here are some things that happened while I was there.

Trying to come up with exclusively male groups that have neutral/positive vibes. Frats, social, religious, military, political groups: big red flags. Intramural sports? Gay orgies? Like if you had a friend say he was going to either of those events, you might say ‘eh, not my thing, but have fun!’

It's reeeeal fucking weird but not surprising that Brian Robbins name isn't mentioned once in Quiet on the Set. As if they didn't know who could possibly be protecting Dan Sneider. Good job, lawyers!

I was buying a 50ft powered sewer auger, so you can see how I'd be particularly vulnerable at the moment.
Wasn't prepared to hear "What Was I Made For" at the Home Depot and now I need to go to bed for the rest of the year

If I was repeating the same day over and over again, I'd probably reference GROUNDHOG DAY a lot, but if I was writing a script with that concept, I'd probably avoid calling out the similarity. Or you know, avoid the concept altogether.

I'm not saying seasonal affective disorder is real, but I did just walk into a 7-11 where the clerk was telling a customer "there a lot worse things than death"

So far, my only criticism of Bluesky is the lack of late night chatter. I feel like a 2 am guy in a 9 pm town.

You had years to write these mugshot jokes and this is all you got? You want another couple years to workshop it? Maybe put it up in Pasadena for early previews?
