NOT a documentary about Blockbuster and - a fanfest of trivial silliness
18 March 2021
If you're easily entertained by "E" list hollyweirds (most looking like frequent bathing is way down their "to do" list) talking about the good "ole days at Blockbuster, this is your kinda "documentary." If you want to actually learn something about Blockbuster's colossal business failures, as a cautionary tale, look elsewhere. This isn't for curious people.

This way too long "documentary" spends about 10 minutes actually, cartoonishly, covering a few (very few) of the missteps and half-wittery that lead to Blockbuster's demise. Would be nice to see a well documented (the root of the word "documentary") presentation of WHY Blockbuster, unnecessarily, bit the dust. I'd like to know more about why ANYONE at Blockbuster could think that depending on LATE FEES for as much as 75% of their revenue was EVER a good idea. What were they thinking, or smoking? NOOOOOO, that interesting detail, and many others, might be too boring for the navel gazers this tripe is obviously targeting.

God, I miss real (and courageous), informative, useful, insightful . . . DOCUMENTARIES.
