Movie Moan: Burn Blockbuster Burn
Thu, September 30, 2010 
That's Phil's first thought of the news that Blockbuster has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. If you live stateside, then you’ve been seeing both the chain and Mom'N'Pop video stores ceasing to exist.
In addition to that on this week's Movie Moan, Phil, Ed, Queen Kristina, Lou & Jamie give their $.02 on the week of movie-news. Christopher Nolan searches for a Superman director. The details are revealed to what may be the Wachowskis' latest – Cobalt Neutral 9, and Phil reads the plot synopsis for us. A Goodfellas television series and True Blood movie are in development with different reactions.
All of that plus Jamie discusses Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps and the "real" story behind Christian Bale jumping ship from W.
It should be noted. I realize this is just now being posted today and I apologize for the delay. Long story short, there were some issues uploading the podcast Sunday afternoon. So after multiple attempts, I decided to called it a day and throw it up Monday morning. Tiny li'l problem arose as I caught a nasty bug that I'm still recovering from. So again, I apologize for the inconvenience and hope you hope the show.

I was wondering what the hell happened this week. Anyway good show this week guys.
Ah the great memories of the video store. Well don't be jealous guys but I still have a video store where I live it's called Family Video. The actually have a "Classic Movies" Section which includes Citizen Kane, Physcho, Gone with the Wind and many more. Since you guys mentioned the library I actually get movies there if Family Video doesn't have them.
Oh I forgot to mention Phil from now on everytime you do shout-outs you should respond to the comments we post every week. Just a suggestion.
It's a good job I keep coming back here every few days ; I would have totally looked past this week's show, otherwise.
Can't say I was really looking forward to that Wall Street sequel, but it sounds even worse than I expected. They should have just called it "Wall Street: The Search for More Money".
I went to Blockbuster two days ago and ironically enough, one of the films I rented was Harry Brown (you can definitely expect a YouTube PM on this, Phil). Sometimes I go there, because LoveFilm (or fellow renters) can be slow when it comes to newer films ariving at my doorstep. I've also just bought a Blu-Ray player (which I'm very happy with), so I want physical copies, as opposed to downloads. As for video game prices, they probably are more expensive in the U.K, but they are cheaper than they were ; I remember when Street Fighter II was released on the SNES back in the early 90's, the recommended retail price was around £64.99!
If "Cobalt Neutral 9" gets made, I'll be there opening night!
