When I was in college,
in about 1995, I was taking a film class. One of the movies we had to watch was
Dreams by Akira Kurosawa. Apparently
there was only one copy available at Blockbuster or West Coast Video, so the
class had to pass around the tape so people could watch it at home on their
VCRs. So I had to arrange to exchange the videotape with one of my classmates.
I was going to call her from our landline from home but my Mom was on the phone
for awhile and I couldn’t use it. I think I may have finally gone to a payphone
to call my classmate and arrange to meet her. We met in the parking lot of
Houlihan’s and exchanged the videotape.
Videotapes, landlines
and Houlihan’s—it’s not an interesting story but it’s the most mid-‘90s thing I
can think of.
