According to this article in the Dallas Observer blog, Unfair Park, Blockbuster is blaming their $359.7 million loss for last quarter on the lack of good movies to rent.

You see, previously numbers had been higher because of titles like, Atonement and I am Legend.

I must say I agree, I would rather pay Netflix a monthly subscription and see all the crappy movies I want for $9/mo. as opposed to $5 for a single crappy movie. Better yet, I can stream tons of crappy movies on Hulu for free.

Dallas – Unfair Park – Why is Blockbuster Suffering? Simple, Says CEO Jim Keyes. Because the Movies Suck..

There are lots of reasons I don’t watch the Sci Fi channel much. I don’t watch it because the shows are better on Hulu or Netflix. I can’t imagine that I will watch it any more often if they change the name to Syfy?

Who’s idea was this?

I can just imagine the marketing conversation that lead to this decision.
