I got that email too. It actually says "Join the fun and add Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs to your BLOCKBUSTER® queue today." Of course, customer don't read anything.

when they called houses and left messages to come to blockbuster and say a code word that none of us knew about. so customers came in yelling chicken little for a free movie..

I'll assume this is some kind of sequel to Ice Age.

Dawn of the dinosaurs-- in the Ice Age? Coexisting with mammals; saber tooth tigers, woolly mammoths, and prehistoric humans? Have we just given up on the proliferation of knowledge altogether?

Or am I jumping to conclusions to assume there are dinosaurs in a movie with dinosaurs in the title.

The email I received says rent it today also, then there is an ad to the right advertising the treat bags we are giving out with release date of 27th. I think someone screwed up.
