I responded in length to your thoughts on Blockbuster going out of business today. The show’ll be up Friday night. My thoughts on Blockbuster are mostly negative, too…mostly because I worked there right after Suncoast. I was very valued at Suncoast for my movie knowledge, but at Blockbuster I was treated like another warm body by my managers and the customers. It was very depressing.
