Vision Often

I’ve mentioned that I consider DVD rental stores to be a bit of an anachronism; a quaint old artifact from an older time, where people had the internet but didn’t understand what it could do. Instead, they spent their time ineffectually pawing at their keyboards looking for lolcat pictures and using DVD rental stores for their movie needs.
Now, everyone’s all kinds of sussed on the internet. Everyone knows all about Netflicks and LOVEFiLM, so it’s simply become a matter of time before rental stores such as Vision Often sink into the abyss and are replaced by a Starbucks (as every shop in existence will soon be).
And, whilst I enjoy the simplicity the internet offers when renting movies, the loss of this store will make me a little sad. Vision Often is one of those rental stores that come straight out of an 80s movie. It’s the rental store from Clerks, built in Cardiff and you can tell the staff really love their movies. They’re always there with a recommendation and are always up for a chat. It’s something LOVEFiLM haven’t quite got the hang of, just yet.
