    The internet devours all!
    Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

      Actually, the root causes IMO are DVRs (Tivo) and on-demand cable movies - cheaper, never leave the house, watched on the same set you would a DVD from BB. Netflix, streaming on-demand etc were just more nails in the coffin.

      I find it stunning that BB wouldn't be ready for this by getting into a strong partnership a couple years back. I mean, anyone could see this coming.

      So I guess I'm saying, if they're dying, they must deserve it.

          will this affect privately owned versions of the blockbuster franchise, because I happen to work at a Blockbuster currently. =(

              If Hollywood movies don't stop SUCKING hard boiled eggs through garden hoses even NetFlicks will be in trouble.

              I just saw 'No Country for Old Men' via NetFlicks and felt cheated of the 15 cents that effectively cost me (amortized monthly rate with rapid watching and mailing of Discs).

                Absolutely.

                    I happened to like the movie. It's probably one of Netflix's most popular.

                    Netflix's revenues are way up, so I don't know what you're talking about.

                      I also don't understand how watching a movie only cost him 15 cents. The most basic unlimited netflix plan is 9$ a month. That's 60 movies a month.

                          Not a bad movie, but nowhere near as good as everyone told me it was.

That's great, but I only want to watch it tonight, retards. Hell, even the 'Red rent-a-box' videos are better now; they're only $1/night.

                            See ya.
                            Redbox is what I use, when I rent.

                              I'm with you on that one. To watch two movies per day the mother ****er must be unemployed or something.

                                Yeah, it's no "There Will Be Blood", so really only the 2nd best movie of the year instead of 1st as everyone was saying .
