Huh? My post has nothing to do with Teo. Are you implying that Teo is the same as the Woodstock promoters? Are you trying to do some weird semantics “gotcha” thing because the victim in that Doc happened to play in the nfl? I’m honestly confused by what you are doing/saying.
I was taking that sentence out of context since it seemed somewhat relevant to this doc that I'm actively watching. No gotcha thing. As a rule, the sentence you wrote -- in a vacuum -- makes sense. Why would people stick up for the rich guys? This doc just happens to be an exception to that, and it's relevant because it's so new.
yeah but Teo didn’t victimize anyone. I am mostly talking about in situations were greed is involved and the term “profit over people” applies.
Seems weird to have a show that has the god king man of all men lord of words Andre 3000 in it and not show him in the trailer
Yep will be watching haha https://www.instagram.com/reel/ChsBFGIAQqr/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Forgot we can’t add reels
As someone not from Houston I didn’t see it as a Houston show. It’s really funny imo. It’s a comedy about the shared experiences of different immigrants.
It hits hard on Houston if you live here. It doesn’t takeaway anything from the story but it’s authentic
As a former blockbuster employee and with it coming out on my birthday, I’m excited for this. Uniforms are accurate. Will be interesting to see the casting dynamics because we had some legit psychopaths working there. It was really and truly a lot of fun though for a college job. We got 5 free rentals a week but my first boss chose 3 of the 5–usually new releases which ranged from blockbusters to b rated horror of which my store got a ton of due to demographics which was always wild to see when you worked at a different store in the area due to staffing issues.
Yes all employees for my first store manager had to be able to answer questions about any new release movie (ie safe for children, violence, what’s it rated PG-13 for?). IMDB was a thing but a large portion of customers in 2003/2004 didn’t use it. By far the worst movie I ever had to watch was a B rated horror film called Monsturd. Just horrendous. I made decent under the table money too. I had a few guys ask me to hold movies for them every Friday I worked because they’d roll in at 11-12 with a date and want the latest new release. He’d slide me a $20 and I’d take care of him. The most fun was inventory night. After we closed on the weekend we’d pound Red Bulls and other stuff and have to do full inventory but our boss was cool about it. She bought us food and paid everyone extra and we would hang til 3 or 4.
A pretty cool memory I have is that in April 2003 when I went to the orientation store in our region and got trained and spoke to by the regional manager, a dude in our group asked “hey what are y’all doing about this company called Netflix?” This guy was clearly a douche and thought he ruled the world. He scoffed and said they were a flash in the pan. Blockbuster was in the midst of acquiring Hollywood Video at the time and looking back on it is pretty comedic. My store actually was a test group for their “Movie Pass” which was an awesome deal to be honest. $20 a month for 2 videos at once that cost $4.36 a piece anyway also with no late fees was stealing. We had guys who would come by 3 times a day. Police officers loved it too. They’d come by all the time for that deal as well.
