Fool.com Worried about Movie Gallery

The Motley Fool is running a story that expresses concern about about the #2 storefront movie rental company, Movie Gallery Dims the Lights.

Over the long term, the continued battle being waged between Netflix and Blockbuster seems far more disturbing for a company like Movie Gallery than the idea that people aren't compelled to flock to movie theaters at the moment. Further, the Internet-based DVD-by-mail business model championed by Netflix and adopted by Blockbuster is even more insulated against any new-release backlash because the use of recommendations from friends helps keep people up to their ears in entertainment far beyond the latest releases.

With casualties of the DVD rental war already including heavy-hitters like Walmart, I wouldn't want to get in the middle of the Netflix/Blockbuster battle to the death.
