Redbox’rs unite!
By Ryan | March 25, 2008
Redbox is one of the best things to happen in recent times. If you’ve not tried it yet, first, slap yourself and then run out to your nearest Walgreens or better yet, log on here and discover a location near you. There’s bound to be one or eleven. I have 3 within a 1/2 mile radius of my house. Awesome? yes.
For the uninitiated, Redbox rents mainly current DVDs for $1 per night. The DVDs are held in a RED BOX found outside most local drug stores (Walgreens, CVS, etc.,.). If you’re not a slacker and return the DVDs the next day, then you just enjoyed (or only wasted) a glorious evening of cinematic delights for only 100 pennies. That’s cheap, there fella, I say!
But another thing I’ve observed is that of a Redbox community - the folks at the kiosks looking at the options or returning a DVD, chatting away this or that about a particular movie. Why, just the other day, I was getting (now regretting) The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada and a fellow Redbox’r commented as I was vending (the act of receiving the DVD from the slot thingy), “I hear that’s good.” To which, I replied, “Fuck off, who asked you?”
Nah, I offered my appreciation of his passed-on, third-hand opinion, grumbling something about hoping it was true. It wasn’t. Well, the movie wasn’t great, but it wasn’t horrible but this isn’t a movie review so who cares. I don’t and YOU sure don’t. Go try redbox.
