Hollywood Video

Ever since I joined, I've been going into Hollywood Video to try and rent SpiderMan 2, and its never there. They have the display case but not the actual video. When I inquired about it for the third or fourth time, the staff member said "To rent?" I could have sworn I was in a video rental store. Apparently they make a lot of their money through selling videos, either through people straight out buying them or opting to buy them due to incurring excessive late fees. Another time I asked about SpiderMan, a guy working there told me odds were they didn't have it any more because they'd all been stolen. Not to mention I can never find the movie I'm dying to see here; they either don't have it or only have it on VHS (Who still has a VHS player?). A third-rate video store with shady clientele, Hollywood should take a lesson from Blockbuster. And by take a lesson I mean sell the chain to them and become one.
