Why are you capitalizing every word?

u people are retarted...i work for blockbuster and if you've been in a store lately then you'd see that it's a pretty good deal. and redbox will probably be gone in the next year or so bcuz most movie studios are pulling out from them....seems u don't make too much of a profit when someones selling ur shit for a buck...blockbuster is by far not the best company and i hate them right now...but if they close you'll pay a far bigger price. they are still the largest rental company. you need them

@micronc I hate renting from RedBox. I always end up with a DVD that doesn't work because it's either scratched up or it's bent. I now rent from Family Video which is way cheaper than BB and RB. I can rent 5 new movies at Family Video for $3 bucks.

blockbuster is awesome i love the 2 for $20 and 3 for $20 etc. and the renting movies and games is awesome! yet all the blockbusters around me closed around 5-6. i love blockbuster. let's try to get them back up and running again!!!!!!!!

@holliday1984 Redbox is still around. Unfortunately, good ol' Blockbuster filed for bankruptcy on September 23, 2010. Blockbuster's creditors may force them to liquidate soon.

& if ppl wanna go out & get movies...go to the library where you can grab 10 at a time for free.If your that sort of thing.You can mingle there.Point out books to your kids.It's not over as long as the library exists.10 items you can get for 1 week for free.5 movies-3 cd's & a couple of books.much better than BB & better for your community.Why are ppl so stuck on BB? New films?...hit the theater or on demand.theres places cheaper than on demand as well.Do these BB ppl actually like being robbed?

[SmokinMo11]

I dont like to see anyone go out of business.That just puts ppl out of work,tho BB needs to lighten up on the late fee's.I stopped going there because of that reason.It's straight up robbery in my book & they cant even look you in the eye while they're doing it.Mine was a drop box incident also.Netflix Rox!My streaming is perfect & I get movies when I want w/out wasteing gas & getting robbed on late fee's.I've got better things to do w/my time than mingle for a movie.puleeeeze!!! Karma Strikes!!

Not referring to the video's title - but a youtube comment that was marked as spam. They were capitalization every word

[supercj8899]

@xxxFaustusxxx Because it's a title.
