Blockbuster CEO: "I don’t care how many movies are available to me."

Any thoughts on renting videos from Blockbuster vs. Netflix? I'm a Netflix subscriber, but not for any good reason.

Found this interview with Blockbuster's CEO to be interesting. (via Wired and John Gruber, who writes "How does Jim Keyes still have the job as CEO?")

Hadn't realized that in movie rental there was "a $25 billion industry in store" and "an $8 billion industry by mail." Kinda disappointing to hear that "today we believe that the bigger demand is for the newer titles." For me, "random crap on the internet" has been rapidly crowding out "the new titles" for a couple years now. Tho I guess it would be hard for Blockbuster to get a finger in that pie.
