I agree, thought it was about 20 minutes too long. The interesting stuff was how Blockbuster failed, but they didn’t spend enough time on it. It turned into an hour and a half of random celebrities saying how much they liked Blockbuster when they were kids.

Is it just me, or did that seem like kind of an affectation for the sake of the documentary? Is anyone really nostalgic for Blockbuster?

Between the late fees, rewind fees, and the overall corporate vibe of the place, I doubt anyone really misses the store. Sure, they rented a lot of movies from Blockbuster. But it was the movie watching experience, more so, that they are nostalgic for.
