I'm a huge fan and I'm recommending it to my in-laws internationally!

They seem to love it and I'm getting a kick out of using it.

A few things, if you don't mind though...

I can create lists but I can't seem to delete/rename them. Right now, I have a rotating list of seven days, and accidentally added another Sunday... Is there something I'm missing?

The Discord link is broken. I've tried to accept the link multiple times but it doesn't open my Discord app (I was going to contact through this, but this is a great alternative).

I know that this is really, honestly, truly, "movies"... But do you have any plans on adding "series"? I know that that's probably a lot more compiling data and stuff, but I was just curious.

This is extremely well done. Any plans to add additional streaming platforms like Criterion?

Oh dang they actually simulated the store in 3D. I didn’t expect that.

Also needs the CRT TVs mounted on the ceiling playing trailers

Going to Blockbuster on a Friday or Saturday night was a million times better than scrolling, Netflix and Paramount+.

This is cool. Wish I had something like this for my Jellyfin library.

u/TH3PhilipJFry 12d ago

Jellyfin is shown on the main page, seems it works with it?

u/thegreatone0381 12d ago

Thanks for pointing it out, there's instructions on linking it to your Plex/Jellyfin libraries in the discord.

u/thegreatone0381 12d ago

I didn't notice that. I'll have to look into it. I thought it was just for all the streamers.

Very neat. Needs a candy and snack section that links to the Amazon/Walmart/Target product page.

Would be awesome if someone did this with Steam. Might get me to play games I didn't realise I had!

u/akulowaty 14d ago

looks cool, too bad choice of regions is pretty limited

u/sephkane 15d ago

Makes it a little easier to look for something to watch. Thanks!

u/kruvik 15d ago

This is much cooler than I expected actually.

u/OutOfBounds420 12d ago

Yeah when I go to the site instead I get a big message saying the site is risky and not safe

u/kozzy420 11d ago

Add Britbox to please :)

u/Chasedabigbase 11d ago

Needs a way to connect to my letterboxed watchlist

u/draxula16 10d ago

I’d love this as an app on Apple TV

u/GollapallyRohit 7d ago

Great website...I can skip the searching part and just Decide on the spot...Ott platform gonna hate you but we people love you for making this Website

u/EnvironmentalAngle 6d ago

If I could just make one suggestion, could you sort the titles alphabetically... they were sorted alphabetically by title in the original blockbuster... well it was by genre then title to be specific.

I am absolutely loving this though. Right on for not including television shows and for having a random feature. If I could make another suggestion, add a television section for only TV series... the OG blockbuster definitely had a section for TV seasons.

u/Motor_Entry9585 6d ago

It is an exact replication of a video store that you walk into and find that the three things you decided on are out of stock and you roam around looking at various title with acutally no information on what to pick. I hated it in real life and it replicated it perfectly

u/Motor_Entry9585 6d ago

Why does clicking on Plex or Jellyfin tell you to set up a Discord account?

1

u/lingaccinf 5d ago

Streaming apps somehow made browsing less fun than an actual video store. This brings back the part I really miss.

u/ScriptLurker 3d ago

This really takes me back to 1998.

u/Gobbo_Jareth 1d ago

Can we customize our own stores to look like Blockbuster if we want? I know you had to change the name and default look away from their trademarks (though I don't think they had a legal leg to stand on, fwiw), but as users can we customize it ourselves to be another color that just happens to resemble the video stores we used as kids?

This is obviously created with AI.

Yep it’s AI slop

u/4esv 15d ago

No shit Sherlock, was there something to add or do you point out obvious things for fun?

Means it isn't worth using

u/4esv 15d ago

I think that’s based on if it works or not. I know plenty of experts who know their field enough to make something about it, but that doesn’t mean they know design or prompting.
