Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Blockbuster's new policy:

The world's largest video rental company will still have due dates for their rental products -- one week for games and two days or one week for movies, depending on whether it's a new release.

Customers will be given a one-week grace period after that to return the product. After that grace period ends, the chain will automatically sell them the product, less the rental fee. If the customers don't want to purchase the movie or game, they can return the product within 30 days for a credit, less a restocking fee.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Make that noise without actually opening your mouth and you got it.

I am so not doing this for real. My officemate already thinks I'm a little cracked today.

Grr - hate blockbuster.

Our local Blockbuster is sticking with incremental late fees based on how many days a movie is kept. I think the manager realized it would be better to get a couple bucks a pop and keep repeat business rather than getting the last $18 they'd ever make from a bunch of customers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's just so wrong, it's right.

And cheaper than the watch.

Go Netflix, choose Netflix.

Though I need to get to Blockbuster for my traffic school DVD. Dammit.

Netflix already owns me, blockbuster would just occasionally fill my instant gratification need.
