just a little too late...but they is tryin...

They can't even copy Netflix properly and they expect their Redbox clone to do well? I hope this time next year we're reading about Blockbuster going under.

<panzer> Will they have hot tranny movies? </panzer>

Faggotry seems to follow Panzer around. Can only imagine why.

Blockbuster's business model has been obsolete for years. It's surprising that the company hadn't already filed for bankruptcy.

theres really no point going to a video store when you can get it on demand the same day or stream it on the pooter for free.

i heard blockbuster is in trouble because of the netflix and like the internet and stuff

I stopped doing business with Blockbuster back when I was a stoner becasue I heard they were a major investor in urine testing technology/industry. It was probably just a rumor but at the time it seemed like a good cause for a personal boycott.

No, one of the first questions on their app (around 1998) was whether you were willing to submit to a drug test.

Years ago I read they have a policy of pressuring studios to provide censored versions of movies specifically for Blockbuster. In many markets Blockbuster was the only video store. They had the leverage, so studios bent to their will and did the censoring. Sometimes the censored version was the only version, if the studio did not put more money into separate uncensored copies.

I was in a Blockbuster once. No porn there, much higher prices, never went back.

They were famous for that they took 5 mins out of Bad Lieutenant (source).

And I remember they had special copies of "Whore" with the word blocked out with smaller lettering saying "if you can't say it just see it". Don't know what was cut from that movie.

yes....I think that the first was showgirls....the NC-17 ver and the only porn I ever saw was the watered down ver of or the "R" ver of pirates.

if you call that......"porn"....


but fuck it.....brick n mortar video stores.....WTF.....they are plain fucking idiots!

Netflix and Redbox have absolutely gutted BB. I worked there for a stretch and I think I was the only person there who wasn't stealing, smoking weed in the office, or fucking a married underling.

WTF was wrong with you ? ^

Never been into weed, and despite my atheist upbringing and outlook, I've always had moral issues with theft and dishonesty (everyone else who worked there bragged about how religious they were and frequently told me I was going to Hell). I've only fucked two women who were married; one, I didn't know she was married...the other was the wife of a guy I consider a personal enemy.
