A sinking ship?
Think back to about 10 years ago. Its saturday night and you and your honey decide to stay in and rent a flick. But before you get all cozy on the couch and pop the popcorn where do you go? You head to Blockbuster Video Store. Maybe you head to the new release wall or maybe the romantic comedy….depending on your mood i guess.
Yeah, remember those days of renting movies at Blockbuster? You always had to worry what day they were due back to avoid the $3 late charges. That big chain drove all the mom and pop video rental stores right out of town. Now that was before we had Netflix, On Demand, DVR’s, and soon followed by Blockbuster rentals online. So here’s what i was thinking today.
How the hell is Blockbuster still in business?? Seriously! Does anybody even go to them anymore?? I can’t even tell you the last time i went into a blockbuster video store. With things like On Demand, i can rent a movie from the comfort of my own couch. No more getting off my ass in sweatpants hopeing i dont run into anyone i know just to get a chick flick for my lonely self. I swear i dont know a single person who still rents videos from their store. And with the economy the way it is….how have they not filed for Chapter 11 yet?? I bet its secretly run by the government…or maybe the mafia.
Let’s face it, if Blockbuster was a horse it would’ve been shot by now!
