Evertime I've been into Blockbuster, since BBM came out, it's been completely rented out. Same thing for our local chain, Movie Gallery.

I imagined that BBM would do very well, financially at least, in home-entertainment format. A lot of folks who might have been too sheepish to venture into the theaters to see it might feel bolder in seeking it out this way. Also, some towns never got the film theatrically, such as my mother's current place of residence, Kerrville (TX)--she had to come to my home town to see it.
A co-worker of mine, Edith, saw the film through Netflix, and came to me last week to tell me she loved it. In fact, she had seen it twice, and was thinking about buying it. She wanted to ask me a couple of questions, and they were the two by-now classic ones that keep coming up: How did Jack die, and what did Ennis mean by "Jack, I swear..."? She found my open-ended responses intriguing, and this seemed to pique her enthusiasm to return to the film again. So we now may have another Brokie on our hands!
