The list of grievances go on and on.]]>Mar 11th 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/11/ifc-teams-up-with-blockbuster-for-rental-lock-stock-and-barrel/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/11/ifc-teams-up-with-blockbuster-for-rental-lock-stock-and-barrel/
I sure hope the money Blockbuster is putting into IFC is enough to cover all the lost sales -- and that underwriting matters more than viewership to the filmmakers.

Woe be to GreenCine, who is still the best indie rental outfit....]]>Mar 11th 2008 2:03PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/11/ifc-teams-up-with-blockbuster-for-rental-lock-stock-and-barrel/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/11/ifc-teams-up-with-blockbuster-for-rental-lock-stock-and-barrel/
Nice post, man! "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" is an awesome documentary. And thanks for the head's up on GreenCine. I had never heard of them before and will definitely give them a shot.

As for IFC signing with Blockbuster, I feel betrayed. Damn you, Netflix!]]>Mar 11th 2008 6:01PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/11/ifc-teams-up-with-blockbuster-for-rental-lock-stock-and-barrel/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/11/ifc-teams-up-with-blockbuster-for-rental-lock-stock-and-barrel/Mar 11th 2008 6:51PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/11/ifc-teams-up-with-blockbuster-for-rental-lock-stock-and-barrel/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/11/ifc-teams-up-with-blockbuster-for-rental-lock-stock-and-barrel/
I gave up on them when Netflix started. seems like I'm not the only one.]]>Mar 11th 2008 3:14PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/11/ifc-teams-up-with-blockbuster-for-rental-lock-stock-and-barrel/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/11/ifc-teams-up-with-blockbuster-for-rental-lock-stock-and-barrel/
I was briefly a blockbuster customer years ago... very briefly... like one rental briefly... like on 5.99 late fee briefly... never again!!!
