Hello everyone!
Here I am in Bend, Oregon to visit the very last Blockbuster in existence.
In 2018, it became the last Blockbuster store in the United States, and in 2020, it became the world's last remaining retail store using the Blockbuster brand.
The last Blockbuster is located in 211 NE Revere Avenue in Bend, Oregon. it was opened by Ken and Debbie Tisher in 1992 and it was originally opened in 1992 as Pacific Video and converted into a Blockbuster in 2000.
The location has now become a popular tourist attraction and in 2020 the store is the subject of the documentary film, The Last Blockbuster created by Bend filmmakers. It was released for sale and rent on DVD and VHS, as well as streaming on Netflix.
I hope you enjoy!

Correction: The Last Blockbuster documentary is no longer on Netflix, but you can watch it on Tubi. Also I mentioned Jamie in the video and I meant Jamie Kennedy not King.

I really, really miss walking into Blockbuster Friday night, renting 2 DVD movies, buying popcorn, sodas, and some chocolate, and watching it with my girlfriend on the couch together. We"'re married now, and we watch movies on Netflix with the kids. But I would do anything to get that feeling back. It's just much more fun, and you look forward to it rather than going through the controllers and streaming a movie.

i watched an MTV production blurb that wasn't very long, from back in the day, and it was Brittany Murphy. She was in NYC, and they were recording her while she went to BlockBuster and grabbed some movies for her Thursday night. This was back when the franchise was still going strong, and she checked out her movies just like it always used to happen.. those times we took for granted.. yet they were golden times...

When doing horse riding scenes in this costume, with a blue riding coat over the top it was very uncomfortable. So I asked the costume department to make a vest that was only what you would say under the coat.
