Thanks for playing.
I agree to an extent..but if it was streaming..they couldnt get half the movies for 2-7 years..all thats on there is old movies and tv shows..by the way i tried netflix streaming...they might throw an occasional movie on there early if they have a deal with studio..but most of its old..so i wouldnt call that streaming netflix has superior at all..

alright guys, here's video #4. This is the video that was almost missed, now that it's Tuesday I believe a new one is up, so I'll need that one as well!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldAL5XCiU00

Quality isn't the best, but uploader was in a hurry to get it before it disappeared. Still completely audible and viewable for your enjoyment. Thanks anonymous for getting it in at the last minute

Just a heads up to any future MOTW senders. You can upload the video yourself to youtube, and I can rip the video straight off youtube myself and upload it onto my youtube account for anonymity. Just make sure you make the video UNLISTED when you post it so people can't search for it or see it as "suggested" when viewing other MOTWs!

hmm no this video isn't the newest one. hmm... wonder what's going on? this video looks quite old. in fact, i believe it's the first video in the "Blockbuster Way" series.

the newest vid focuses on the new rental terms. there is a store with employees telling customers about the new price changes.

The only thing that could save Blockbuster now is a time machine, to send those idiots back to 1985, where their products and stores would still be a novelty. Right now they're just a huge joke!!! Give it up, corporate a-holes, and get ready for your next job. When anyone looks at your previous work, namely shoveling shit for the last five years, the only job offer you'll get is as a port-o-potty cleaner!!!

There are a LOT of movies on Netflix streaming on the release date - yes, smaller titles, but for example that "Letters to God" movie was on there the day we released it. Yeah, it might be a crappy "middle section" (of the wall) movie, but it was still there. Law Abiding Citizen and Zombieland were on streaming less than 6 months from release date... plus Netflix just made it to where you can have a streaming only plan - $7.99 .... It has completely replaced cable in our house and if I didn't work at BB, I wouldn't care about new released save for a random one or two that I would get at Redbox.

all i am saying is i dont see the big hype..the price point is nice...and of course directly to ur tv is nice..but besides that it sucks in comparison to the mail services..or even on demand

i enjoy the selection on instant way more than the DVD selection to be quite honest.

i am discovering awesome movies on instant all the time. two of my favorite directors' films hit Netflix Instant way before the stores get it, and in most cases, Blockbuster doesn't get them at all.

apart from that, you can literally think of a film that you once watched ages ago, look it up on Netflix, and most of the time it will be available for instant streaming.

customers come to Blockbuster, a movie rental store, and can't find jack shit that didn't win award and is older than 8 years old.

The 5 points of the Hot head way.

1) Your my new shoe representitive.
2) Measure my shoe size
3) Ask if I need anything the first time.
4) Then ask if that will be all today. And you say I am missing the 5th point of the blockbuster way
5)I almost forgot now I will shove my foot up your ass.
