This channel is CRIMINALLY underrated!
Absolutely amazing video, keep up the great work!
I was born too late to have the video store experience. However, I do remember every weekend my family rented a new movie from the Redbox outside our grocery store. There's something about physical media that's so appealing to me, the group experience of putting a physical movie into the playing and making an entire night out of watching a specific movie is just extremely valuable.
Good analysis. Late fees were exactly the reason i started ordering from Netflix instead.
Blockbust a nut 🤣🤣💀💀💀.
Had me rolling off a cliff, too.
Awesome video, love what your doing! Keep up the great work!
I used to go to blockbuster or the local video rental store with my dad every Friday :( I love Netflix but I would love the option to go back to VHS and DVD rentals for old time’s sake
A moment of silence for red box😔.
Build Blockbuster
Netflix : *Takes down every single streaming service including blockbuster*
Disney + : Finally a worthy opponent
If people had a problem with the late fees, then don't hold them after your due date. It ain't that hard yo
Very insightful stuff man, I never had a chance to experience Blockbuster but there are places like Family Video keeping it somewhat alive! Keep up the great work man!
Sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Zechariah Junior Instablaster :)
@Kase Keenan I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Kase Keenan it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass !
@Zechariah Junior glad I could help =)
"Blockbust a nut"
XD
I'm dead
very good and detailed video dude. the demise of blockbuster (even though not related as much of course) kinda reminded me of yahoo. you know, In 1998 google approached yahoo to sell google for $1 million but they refused and well, we all know the outcome of that situation. no one ever used ''yahoo it'' for example lol.
the problem is, knowing exactly ''when'' to either sell your company, acquire a new and innovative partner or to make hard but necessary changes to simply stay in the business is really hard in an overchanging world.
what do you think about hbo max's decision to air all their 2021 movies at the same day on their plaftorm? Will it contribute hugely to the possible death of movie theathers? Is it a smart business strategy considering the continuing pandemic and all that?
I’m actually thinking about doing a video about the whole HBO Max situation so stay tuned for that!
@@itsjustcinema if you do that video can you address the whole industry almost turning against them, I’m curious if it impacts creators that want to sign overall deals with them in the future.
@@itsjustcinema sure!
Blockbuster was offered also to sell their online component to Netflix in 2007 but they passed on that.

Netflix Kill The Blockbuster Star
Nice, cant wait to watch
Hope you enjoy it!
Wow, this is such good content. I never comment here. Congrats
I'm glad netflix helped kill blockbuster, All you need for netflix is a debit card and a TV or smartphone. However for blockbuster a debit card wasn't good enough, you needed a credit card ( which a lot of people don't qualify for ) and you needed to leave the comfort of your home for a movie. Also one time the girl behind the counter forgot to unlock the DVD case and I had to come back to have her unlock it. Oh yeah, and the late fees.
F for blockbuster
Please make a review of the first Russian blockbuster "Major Grom: The Plague Doctor" on the superhero theme. I think it turned out well!
now with all these streaming services Popping up netflix is starting to look like blockbuster
Now do how moviepass kill itself
I do not understand your about thing
