So I rent a BB flick this weekend: Daredevil. It is a two disck set. There are about 20 pan n scan and only 3 THREE! widescreen of which two were out (ALL of the P+S were on the shelf) Other movies widescreen editions were completely out.
When I complained to the sales clerk he told me that pan/scan rent better. (remember, the ones that were all on the shelf!)
I get home, and my two disk sets includes the extra features disk in widescreen and the feature disk in FULLSCREEN! AAAARGH!
When I returned with them the district manager was there. My first reflex was to ram it up his.. ankle. Instead I politely complained not only about the disk but also the limited widescreen selection.
He told me that the mindless masses (my word, not his) complain so loudly about the dreaded 'black bars' that BB is considering not carrying ANY widescreen.
I asked him to whom I could loudly complain to in favor of widescreen and he suggested the webiste might be most productive; so here it is:
Blockbuster
He says the more messages the better.
It would seem to me that the solution is simple: Just put the widescreens in different colored cases or big colored lables. Maybe GREEN or RED or something. Write WIDESCREEN really really big on it for gawdsakes!
Maybe if we all band together we can save Blockbuster from the mindless masses!
