Nate AllenIt's one of those days to mention that there are still a few video stores where you might watch Disney and Hulu content, including #MovieMadness here in #PDX and #ScarecrowVideo in #Seattle. I believe Scarecrow will ship you your DVDs nationwide like Netflix in the olden times when the world wasn't run by morons.
@apLundell #MovieMadness has 90k titles and counting and I think #ScarecrowVideo has even more. Scarecrow ships, just like the Netflix of yore.

Seattle Worldcon 2025Scarecrow Video isn’t just Seattle’s only video store—it’s also Seattle’s largest. To be precise, it’s the world’s largest. With more than 150,000 titles in its collection, Scarecrow Video is the largest publicly accessible film archive in the world. “If you took Amazon and HBO and Hulu and Netflix and combined all of their available titles, we would still have about triple of that number,” marketing coordinator Matt Lynch told Seattle Met in an interview.
A temple for physical media

In 2014, Scarecrow Video became a nonprofit and now sustains itself through memberships, on top of its retail operations. And, yes, you can rent by mail, for anyone who misses the early Netflix days.
With its size and variety, Scarecrow’s collection is a global time capsule of cinema, spanning 128 years of cultural history and featuring films from 138 countries in over 120 languages. Thousands of titles in their archive are out of print or nearly impossible to find anywhere else. Many of their rarest titles aren’t even held by the Library of Congress, and some may be the only publicly accessible copies in existence.

When you visit Scarecrow Video, you’re not scrolling through just an algorithm but wandering through decades of film history. Maybe it’s a weird cult classic, or maybe it’s that one movie your friend won’t shut up about. When you step through the doors of Scarecrow Video, you’re stepping into a time when movie nights started with a trip to the video store, not just clicking “Play.”

Is anyone in here subscribed to Scarecrow Video, and if so would you be willing to rent a very specific DVD, dump it to an ISO, and send it to me? The copy in Canada seems to be fucked beyond readability, could be disc rot. DM me, I am running out of options. #preservation #archive #dvd #vhs #archival #movie #movies #ScarecrowVideo #blockbuster
Alice Dubiel 🔬💉🦠😷🌬☮️Amy Goodman’s interviews with director Ali Abbasi piqued my curiosity; I rented The Apprentice from #ScarecrowVideo here in Seattle last week; it exceeded my expectations. Who knew Roy Cohn could end up the moral center of 1980’s NYC except as portrayed by Jeremy Strong? Sebastian Stans’s performance is brilliant. Other actors are very strong. Details: marquee title lights flicker as from neglect. Fake zirconia. Taking a powder.

The Apprentice | Rotten Tomatoes
A young Donald Trump (Sebastian Stan), eager to make his name as a hungry second son of a wealthy family in 1970s New York, comes under the spell of Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong), the cutthroat attorney who would help create the Donald Trump we know today. Cohn sees in Trump the perfect protégé -- someone with raw ambition, a hunger for success, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win.
