Well, keep in mind that every Tuesday they stuff their shelves with new
releases. Blockbuster's entire business is built around new releases,
afterall. Now whether or not those new releases are actually worth
renting is left to each individual. But like I noted in another post,
I've found quite a few new DVDs worth renting at their stores in recent
weeks. I tend to ignore the "big" titles that they have 200 copies of,
as that stuff is usually overhyped, predictable, forumalic, CGI infested
Hollywood fodder that is designed for the lowest common
denominator(which admittedly, is blockbuster's primary customer
demographic..). Instead I look for the smaller indie and foreign titles.
They actually have more of these then you might think. Lately I've been
renting a lot of Asian horror, which tends to be substantially better
than most modern American horror movies.
