I love the catchy tune they have in his movie, and I have it in my head as well. So I wanted to watch Sherlock Holmes 2 tonight. Went to redbox and they do not have it till next week or something. So then I went to Blockbuster ( rented out), what I found at blockbuster amazed me! Almost every movie seemed to be some horrible straight to Dvd movie. Abraham Lincoln vs. Vampires, some val kilmer movie that no one has heard of or cares to see ( he was the last actor billed on the box), and a few vinnie Jones flicks. What happened to blockbuster that the are filled with so many of these types of movies? So I went home and watched chopped and storage wars. |
2002 I think, it was competing with dvd for a while. Laserdiscs were better quality then early dvds.
I stopped buying them in 1998, Starship troopers and Lost in space were my last purchases.
A friend of mine kept buying them for longer for the awesome boxsets they come with.
Be glad you still have a blockbuster... All gone from Canada.
