![]() ![]() ![]() That documentary is called “Varsity Blues”. Listing: End of Summer Sleepover at The Last BLOCKBUSTERĪnd if you like to watch documentaries about lessons you first heard about on Plain English…there’s another documentary out there about the university admissions scandal. I’ll put the link to the Airbnb listing at this point in the transcript at /355. All three reviews were-I don’t need to tell you-five stars. But she told me there was an Airbnb listing during the pandemic, which allowed people to book the Blockbuster for the night…not every night, just a few nights in September. She used to live in Bend, Oregon, and passed that Blockbuster all the time. She helps create some of the content on the web site for us. One of the team members here at Plain English is Madeline. Remember to stream, “The Last Blockbuster” on Netflix. See you next time!Īnd that’s all for today. I’m not sure that’s how it works in real life, but that’s how it goes in the song “Tieduprightnow” by Parcels. But the singer is content to wait and be the first in line when she’s single again. I read the lyrics and I think it’s about a guy saying the one he wants-the girl, presumably-is tied up right now, meaning she’s in another relationship. To be “tied up” means to be busy or occupied. It’s “Tieduprightnow,” all one word, no spaces. Today’s song of the week is “Tieduprightnow” by the band Parcels. But he was at his peak when playing for Napoli: those were his best years. And yes, he was good after he left the team. Yes, he was good before he was traded to Napoli. He was at his peak when he played for Napoli. We talked about Diego Maradona, the Argentine soccer player. ![]() Blockbuster’s peak was 2004, when it had over 9,000 stores. We don’t have to be too strict when we say their best “moment.” It could be their best general time. So we can definitely say Buick’s peak was in 1984 because they are a long, long way from their peak, from their best moment in history. It has about one percent market share in the US. Today, it’s closer to 200,000 per year, which still surprises me. At its peak, Buick was selling almost a million cars a year. My family had a Buick station wagon for a few years it might have even been a 1984 model year. It’s an old person’s car, a boring car, or at least it was for a long time.Īnyway, the first Buicks came out in 1973 and the brand hit its peak in 1984 when it sold 984,000 vehicles a year. And to be honest, I had no idea they were still making Buick cars: they’re that forgettable. There are tons of commercials for a car company called Buick, an American brand. I’m watching-I’ve mentioned this before-I’m watching the college basketball tournament. So let’s think about a company that had great years in the past, but their best is clearly behind them. We won’t know until we look back on the history of Netflix. Its peak might be right now…or its peak might still be in the future. We can only really say a business or a person reached their peak if they have already started declining. When did Netflix hit its peak? It’s a trick question. But it was at its peak, at its best, in 2004. Even in 2006, 2007, it was still a good business. It was a great business in 2003, a great business in 2002, in 2001. That means, at its biggest or best moment in history, Blockbuster had 9,000 stores. In terms of a person’s history or an organization’s history, the peak was the biggest or best moment.Īt its peak, Blockbuster had 9,000 stores. Everest, you’ll be looking up at the peak for days while you climb higher and higher. We’ll say “at its peak” or “at his or her peak.” A peak is the very top of a hill or a mountain. Today we’re going to talk about the very best moments in the history of a business, an organization, or even a person. ![]()
