1985, when I was born and so did Blockbuster. Though, I had studied about Blockbuster in our case studies back home, however, it was a whole different and exciting experience when I first walked into its store after arriving in North America.
What I loved:
This documentary takes you back to an era of floppy disks, GW basics OS that fueled Blockbuster's business; a database system that kicked and converted other family video stores in the cities. A new blockbuster every 17 minutes!!!
A bunch of adults sharing their experiences, and talking about their favourite titles. The store that made movie and pizza 🍕 on a weekend night a thing, and employee's suggestions mattered.
The downfall: The bad management sank the mighty ship along with their bad decisions one after another. The buyout resurrection, gimmicks, tricks, Blockbuster beer--nothing couldn't save the corporation.
One who laughed at Netflix back them, look who's laughing at them now!
Alas, the Blockbuster smell has disappeared from the face of USA--leaving only one store in Bend, Oregon. I hope they get to keep it, or at least convert it into a museum.
