Blockbuster's days are numbered

Looks like they are finally filing for bankruptcy.  I still have my blockbuster at home accout it's like $12 a month.  The only time I go to the store is to swap one of my dvd's out.  I haven't rented a movie out of pocket in a long time.  There is a Redbox kiosk next door at walgreen's that is always busy and it looks sad how a  box can take the place of a store.  I still like to go to the store and pick up the movies and read the backs of them, but the brick and mortar days are going way of the online rentals.  Thoughts.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Blockbuster and Movie Gallery were doomed the day Netflix was invented. They refused to get on the bandwagon and got left behind. I love the Netflix on XBOX.
