Earlier this week it was announced that Blockbuster has put whatever remains of itself up for sale. While still operating stores aren't necessarily closing right away, it's basically the final nail in the coffin for the entire video rental industry. Hollywood Video is long gone and only two independent video stores still stand in my area (Western Massachusetts). That's two more than what usually exists in most areas. It's only matter of time before all remaining video stores shutter up their windows, independent or not. The video store is dead. It will never be return. And it's kind of our fault.

I originally thought it was bullshit how they were trying to discontinue those bags, but then I touched one and holy shit are those things loud.
