Yes, I watched the documentary on Blu-ray a few weeks ago. Fairly entertaining.

..... We have dial up (if you're lucky), and we have 4 video rental places still open, plus the little red box things outside of Walmart, the pharmacies, and the Dollar General stores.

I saw the documentary on Amazon Prime. It's interesting how their revenue sharing with the major studios gave them the market edge. And also the whole debt issue and how that was the primary factor in their going out of business.
Edit-Pretty ironic that it's now available to watch on Netflix.

No pity from me. Block killed mom and pop video stores. Netflix which was turned down for purchase by blockbuster killed blockbuster. Eventually all the new streaming services which owe their existence to netflix will kill netflix. Sadly soon Disney and Amazon and Google will be the only companies left. Not sure whether to laugh or cry at the hypocrisy of google thinking by acknowledging women and non whites in their shitty daily animation makes it okay their company is still ran and owned y a bunch of white racist scum. Hell amazon doesn't even do that.
