Blockbuster

Animation by https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZj7QQVYbWAVeQdCLBXZiyw

I remember a blockbuster near the house I've lived in all my life. Went there once, went again when it became a Halloween store, and now I occasional go for pollo loco.

Yo it was gone in the US before i was even born in mexico it was gone by 2016 i think

Oof
We all know what happened to Enron

Lol I live where the last blockbuster is

I’ll forever miss going to Blockbuster with my mum every Friday to rent a film/game for the weekend.

And now, a moment of silence for Blockbuster.

Pitch for Blockbuster: Basically Netflix with only new releases. ...idk if it already exists and I’m not gonna do any research but yeah... 🤷🏻‍♀️

Keep doing these ur good at em

story time animation??

im not gonna look for it now, but i still have the last vhs tape i ever rented from there... "SLC punk" starring mathew lilliard... i hate movies that constantly break the fourth wall (ferris bueller style) but i still have it in a closet for some reason...

another great example is kodak - kodak invented the digital camera, and then doubled down on film...

but the best brick and mortar/cyber fail paradigm was montgomery wards - they were the only game in town for mail order products in america for over a goddamned century - you could order whole houses and cars and shit through their catalog - but they were spending money on their mall stores when they could've been transforming those catalogs into a website for a fraction of the cost - they could've been Amazon...

My family was a Hollywood video/ game crazy family we got all of our games and movies there but eventually it closed and if I remember correctly it's a yoshinoya and taco Bell now lmao

Might just be one of those self conjured memory deals but i vaguely remember Blockbuster also trying to compete with Redbox for a little bit. I swear as a kid i saw a machine at a store that looked like a Redbox but was Blockbuster branded. I say it might be self conjured tho bc i kept expecting you to bring it up and you didnt.

Redbox was the true killer

Really? I went to a blockbuster 5 years ago and its still there.

We had a blockbuster for a long time in Fairbanks up until 2017 I think

Even in animation. He still has a white shirt

I think GameStop is losing money is because they don’t wanna pay a littl extra for return games and people would rather get the game online cheaper or from another place who would give more like independently ran game shops

Suck it nerds, we have the last Blockbuster on the planet here in Oregon!

How is family video still in business, it's pretty much just blockbuster but older
