Americans and their movies. We have a lot of customers who of Flat Early in the morning and hit every store in the area Turner. They meet somewhere and discuss what they be got. We had one who would rent five a Day mostly horror films and the next Day i d ask about pm and he d Tell me Aboul everyone. And he was t even when the horror Lover left Germany last week friends said he d accumulated nearly 6,000 movies Turner stocks everything from the lat Cal Hollie. To Homalon Cassidy to 1931 James Cagney some customers complain that Many of today s movie just seem to blur together forgotten almost before the Sel s gone dim. They say they never forget a to girl or Cagney or John Wayne picture show. Over at us rental across from Kelley however most people just seem to want whatever s new new new even if it s bad bad bad says manager Doreen Mcdonald. Some of them nearly have a heart attack practically jumping Over the counter when a new Batch comes in. I want Hati i want that Onel have to have it and they la land Here for hours to get the shop s Stock has jumped from about 500 films when it opened two years ago to some 2,500 films now she says and there Are 500 More in the plan. Every american i know has a Var she says laughing except me i save my Money for travelling even know How to Mcdonald says that people Over Here accumulate hundreds even thousands of movies by duplicating the ones they rent. It s against the Law but everybody does in and everybody knows everybody does it.
