The Wall Street Journal Online has an interesting video of an interview they did with Blockbuster CEO John Antioco today. He talks about the elimination of late fees (but forgets to mention the automatic purchase if you're really late) and potential aquisition of Hollywood Video.
When asked why they didn't buy Netflix, he responded that he has a "superior service." Hmm... Maybe John should read this blog or just try both services.
Worth watching to see him squirm when asked about his huge compensation package while managing to lose billions for his shareholders.
Thanks to M for sending this in.
dude this guy is a slimeball just like his company. He get's grilled by the talking heads and it's beautiful. I hope NFLX crushes BBI just like these guy's do. Wow, what a double dose of tounge lashing Mr. dumbass ceo gets. hahahahahha

Man, that video is fairly brutal. Not the kind of thing Antioco was hoping for in rallying up the publicity effort I'm sure. It was only like 1/4 about the new offer.
