This sort of thing SLAYS me. A corporation engages in shitty practices -- the late fee which is more expensive than the rental -- and then when they get some competition they correct for it and we're all supposed to just take them back.

Fuck you, Blockbuster. Netflix is kicking your ass and rightly so. You guys offering Netflix's business model with your terrible service and mindless store-clerk Eberts is also funny to see.

I hope this marks the beginning of the end for them, but I suspect sheepy customers will prop them right up again. Oh well! We can hope.

I'm guessing gamefly is done by the same fuckers as netflix? Is there any batch deal for it?

I don't really like them because they never have the movies that I like.

No, not porn you wisenheimers! I mean stuff thats not really mainstream. Nice Girls Don't Explode. I ask for it everytime one of those pimply geeks asks if they can help me find something. Still haven't seen it since Time Warner went to the new cable boxes and the descrambler chip became useless.

I have a Hollywood Video membership but never use it. Still don't know why.

I only go to Blockbuster because they gave me a free Rewards Gold account several years ago so I get a free video for every one I rent (except friday/sat). Their new netflix-like plans will kill them though because unlike netflix, Blockbuster only has a couple (or one) copy of most movies. Now, fuckers don't return their movies ever and there's even less selection than usual.

Yeah, Blockbuster sucks big floppy donkey dick. I love their fuckstick clerks trying to sell the Netflix knock-off. I'm all: "Well, are you going to mail me the shits for free and allow me to send them back postage paid?" And they're all: "Umm.................... droooooooooooooooool."

Fucking dinks. I hope they go out of business.

Hey, that's a long URL. 40 characters isn't enough to describe my hatred of Blockbuster.

Really, I guess I hate myself, as I can't bring movies back in 1.5 days and I can see a Blockbuster from my apartment window. Hahah, I'm just kidding, I don't hate myself at all; I hate them.
