Children of the 80s and 90s rejoiced this week when they realized a blast from the past may be creeping back into the zeitgeist: Blockbuster.

"Seeing the Blockbuster chain back would bring memories, from the past. Friday night after middle school, my cousins and I would make a run for the store, rent movies, video games @SEGA and that would be our weekend party!!" they tweeted.

. They owned the licensing rights and created Blockbuster On Demand, a library of thousands movies available to DISH customers and as a standalone app. The app is no longer available. The Blockbuster DAO, later renamed Rewind, had a goal of raising $5 million to buy the brand from DISH. Our mission is to liberate Blockbuster and form a DAO to collectively govern the brand as we turn Blockbuster into the first-ever DeFilm streaming platform and a mainstay of both the Web3 brands and products, but a powerhouse in the future of the film industry.

Walls and walls full of movies like Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3, all while being the Walmart of video stores and destroying every super cool and soulful mom and pop shop in existence. I was joyful when cancer went away.

murphybrownpod I am all for this!

What if I told you… There’s a place in Bend, OR where the 80s and 90s never ended. 💛💙

Ok hear me out blockbuster. The new blockbuster, a chain of movie theatres with mini blockbusters inside where you can buy other movies and snacks for the actual movie (but just for looks/fun) I would die.

Domain shows it's still owned by DISH. I'm going to call it a nothing burger 🍔

To be perfectly honest, I seeked out all the mom and pop video stores and avoided Blockbuster till there wasn't a choice but by that time you could rent DVD's in the mail from Netflix.

Lol there is only one Blockbuster open in the world

I miss winding the VHS tapes so the movie would start right at the end and return it

The 'zeitgeist?' 😨
