As someone who spent several miserable years in the early and mid-1990s working for Blockbuster Video, few people were happier than me to see the company finally go belly-up back in January. It was hard to love Blockbuster if you really loved movies, because the stores carried a homogenized selection of occasionally edited titles from one location to the next . and destroyed pretty much every cool little Mom & Pop video rental hut in their quest to dominate the market. However, not all of the Blockbusters are gone . the evil empire lives on, barely, in isolated parts of the country thanks to independent licensees like Alan Payne, who altogether, still operate about 50 stores. Payne owns more than 20 what are referred to as "BINOs", or Blockbusters in Name Only.
