It would be a long shot but if netflix keep losing licensing deals, it could get interesting.

Nomo Blockbuster Valencia, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #7 Sep 6, 2011 Unlikely. Brick-and-mortar stores are so 20th century. Blockbuster stores are too large and costly to become Delusional Dish stores so Delusional Dish is stuck with keeping losing investments like stores open and having to pick the lesser of two evils.
bbv can not make it Anchorage, AK	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #8 Sep 6, 2011 there is no good reason to go to blockbuster store fronts... when you can get the same movie, at HALF to rental cost at any mom & pops store.... And if you dont have a mom & pops kind of store in your hood... put one there, not everyone will stream movies... And , as you know, most people Dont like blockbuster.. Ricky Bobby

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Libra

Someone is convinced they're in the right under the Lunar Eclipse, and they don't care how they get their point across. If there's trouble in your neighborhood, get it sorted out by putting your thoughts down in a blog, or on paper. Don't let anyone, even siblings, treat you like this, even if you balk at standing your ground under this moody cloud. Travel plans may be upset, and spiritual pursuits, and dealings with foreigners or people of other cultures is subject to pressure too.
