I think what JP4CY is trying to post is apparently blockbuster updated their website with a picture that reads, “Be Kind While We Rewind,” and people think they are going to reopen. Blockbuster is owned by Dish, so they could be working on a website to buy/rent movies.

Will they still rent dirty movies?

Correct. It was a CBS tweet that I posted, that must have gotten whacked from Twitter. I'll try it again.

Apparently needed a "dumb" from RonBurgundy on it.

We all remember that "wall" at Family Video.

I'm sure after the whole COVID thing that they'll be wiping down the returns with Clorox wipes so they'll be nice and clean for the next renter.

What does a comeback even look like for them? A streaming service?

Yeah, that seems like an uphill climb. I feel like streaming services are oversaturated already.

I've got a bunch of laserdiscs. Some of them are even framed and hanging in our home theater. I still have a player (maybe 2) but who knows if it still works.
