It's been about a year since the world's last Blockbuster became exactly that. After the Blockbuster stores in Alaska closed, and the one in Perth, Australia collected its last late fee and turned its lights off, the 20-year-old location in Bend, Oregon, became the only Blockbuster store left on the planet.
Not only that, but Netflix and the whole video streaming revolution also appears to have made it even stronger since the establishment has adapted to the pandemic as well. Whatever they're doing, it's working and they're still operating, still thriving.
However, while they're the last Blockbuster store, there's one more on Twitter. A parody account with a confusingly clever name, The Last Blockbuster. And they're lighting up social media with tweets even wittier than Wendy's! Continue scrolling and check them out for yourself. After you're done, fire up our first article about their older gems.

You got that totally wrong, Heavenly Father has not abandoned us, we have ABANDONED Him. It's kinda sad that we will pray to God, only when our lives are threatened.
Staying true to character, the people behind the humorous Twitter account told Daily Dot, "This account is actually run by a few of us at the store. We're a small operation, so we take turns running social media, working the registers, and cleaning out the return drop box. A lot of people seem to think it's a trash receptacle even though we taped up a sign that says it's for movies and games only."

Why would she be fired from Blockbuster (or any job for that matter) because of DUIs?

Abigail sounds like my dad and all my uncles!! There’s a running joke in our family that you’re not officially a member till you get you’re first DUI!! lol
They said that it's no secret they haven't been doing so well in recent years, with only one physical store remaining. "Since the advent of the Internet, streaming services have taken a sizeable portion of our customer base. But instead of lying down, we dug into research and found the problem wasn't the Internet, it was that we lost touch with our consumers. This account was created to get face-to-face with them and build a personal relationship for a better Blockbuster future. And to contact people who owe us late fees."

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. This could happen!! I remember before they existed. I may have to leave a little something in my will for them if they are still around by then. They'd deserve it!

@Effseven Six -- leave them your ballpoint pen, I hear they might be needing another one...

All this considered, these folks don't think that Blockbuster will entirely disappear from the face of the earth. After all, it has something those darn streaming platforms don't. "At Blockbuster, you get personal recommendations from serious movie buffs like Colleen and Debra. How many times have you struggled to figure out what to watch on Netflix? All the time, I bet. Here we always ask the right questions to help you pick out the perfect action flick, family comedy, or softcore adult film for your movie night."

*inhales* "I WANT TO RENT HOME ALONE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S ALMOST AUGUST!" A few minutes later, a copy of Home Alone falls from the sky, and hits your head. You hear a man yelling "YOU'RE WELCOME" in the distance

Would you consider movies that are Tom Hanks-adjacent? (i.e. movies that star actors who co-starred with Hanks in other movies? Kind of a re-worked six degrees of Kevin Bacon thing.)

Why is this still an issue? Die Hard is set during the Christmas holidays, therefore it's a Christmas movie.

it's an extract of marijuana. it does not have psychoactive effects, that is, it does not get you high. but it does relax you, kill pain, and lessen anxiety. also helps with several severe medical problems, like some types of seizures. hope that helps.

Sadly, I have actually seen this. Woman literally crying because we would not take her expired coupons, after five minutes of that, she tells us she has cancer. Having just lost a friend to cancer, it was all I could do not to lose my job

II'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I don't understand people who would use an illness (possibly fake) to get what they want. I wouldn't do that even if i DID have an illness.

A bit irrelevant but... During lockdown here in Greece, they closed the video stores (or do we call them DVD stores now?). This was the last hit, while it could actually be a good time for them. It was so sad to see these stores close, and know that it wasn't due to Covid but a bad government decision.
