BLOCK HEAD

How far out of it can you be?
Blockbuster CEO 'Confused by Fascination' With Netflix
The other thing that he doesn't mention is that Blockbuster also will not carry any 'questionable' material. That is, anything gay, sexual or with a cover that is 'sensational'.
Some film producers ship DVDs to them with specially designed packages. Or they did when the boxes had tape in them.
The Blockbuster in Palm Springs closed about 6 months ago. It was a big store.
The Hollywood chain is still holding on.
I am a Netflix fan. Mostly because Netflix features almost totally cover the holes in the retail rental business.
They have a huge catalog. You are always assured of having what you want pretty much when you want it. You stay at home. You do not have to deal with stupid rules or store employees. It is cheaper.
Talk about your dinosaurs.
I do not have a 'fascination' with Netflix. I see it as the only way to go.
