    This Is What Happens To A Blockbuster Video After It Dies

    Blockbuster and Hollywood Video are gone for good, right? UPDATE: Yup, they're officially gone for good. Dish Network will shutter the remaining stores over the next two months.

    It's probably been a while since you saw one of these out in the wild:

    Or one of these:

    Or better yet, one of these:

    Or try to make it more beautiful:

    You can turn it into a discount furniture store:

    Or a smoke shop:

    Or a different kind of rental store:

    You can open up a beauty supply store:

    Or you could try to sell some flooring:

    Or you could just do the American thing and sell some fireworks:

    But at this point it might just make sense to throw everything in the trash:
