...Blockbuster edits their movies to remove the content they precieve to be most objectionable to mainstream america.
You mean like an original or creative idea? I use the Aussie equivalent of netflix and it is quite handy. The sheer selection is huge, plus they readily acquire new DVD releases of old films which most Blockbuster stores dont do or take a long time to do.
But keep in mind what rpg said, if it takes more than 2-3 days for delivery to your area, the value is greatly diminished. The problem is that there are way too many clones...

They can't all not suck. just pick one that's close to you so that delivery times arent too much. Most of them have a trial feature so you can get an idea what to expect.
Rashomon - although it doesnt really have that groundbreaking effect nowdays, this is still quite a film. Didnt think it was a great film, but a very good one neverthless.
Irreversible - This movie made me sick. The content combined with the camerwork made me want to throw up. I knew what I was getting into but it still made me feel that way. Many other films have gotten the same point/theme across (and arguably a lot more successfully) without having the primary intention to assault the viewer whenever possible. House of Sand and Fog - Ben Kinglsey is a fucking gun. Film's pretty good, I like how it doesnt really take sides but some of the events seem too contrived and take away from the whole IMHO. perhaps the competition for BlockBusters in Vancouver here, instead of editing movies will actually tabulate everything on the back of a movie for you (or parental guardian)
ie. Profanity - 23 counts Drug use - 4 counts Nudity - 12 counts Graphic Violence - 7 counts etc... thus helping to guage whether the movie is worth watching for that 1 titty shot!! The main site:
http://www.smgfx.com Here's a few, theres tons from movies such as Nightmare on Elm Street 4, Freaked, Silent Night Deadly Night, various music videos and video game ads... just awesome stuff! http://www.smgfx.com/docs/images/bride_of_reanimator/bride_1.jpg http://www.smgfx.com/docs/images/puma/puma_1.jpg http://www.smgfx.com/docs/images/nissui/nissui_3.jpg http://www.smgfx.com/docs/images/childrenofthecorn/childrenofthecorn.jpg http://www.smgfx.com/docs/images/society/society5.jpg http://www.smgfx.com/docs/images/toymaker/toymak_1.jpg Profanity - 23 counts
Drug use - 4 counts Nudity - 12 counts Graphic Violence - 7 counts That sounds like a fun movie. as it only lists 'Nudity' no 'Sexual Behaviour' or 'Explicit Sexual Behaviour' so thats just tits and ass, or maybe penis. And not much swearing either...
for instance like the Boyle zombie movie from last summer are showing winkies and guy buttocks but no female nudity. I knew Harvey Keitel doing full frontal was the start of something really bad.
An excellent execution of a really dumb concept. So does that means it's good or what? Well it has good moments and bad. The end leaves an aweful lot unresolved. I don't need a hollywood hack, storybook ending, but I do need some sort of ending. My brother and I agreed that if this was the start of a cool trillogy it would be a lot more enjoyable in retrospect.
...sounds like our free to air multi-cultural station SBS on a Saturday night. Only our station gives more info without tabulation:
SBS advises that the following program contains - adult themes, drug references, sex references, frequent coarse language, high level sex scenes, violence and frequent nudity. ...no complaints this end nitin. SBS can be one good reason not to have anything to do on a Saturday night.
I love the foreign movie theme weeks SBS has. but have any of you seen Arrested Development? If so, would you recommend it? It's not being shown on tv here in Australia but I see that the dvd set is out in the US.
Triggermen - A light hearted ganster film shot on a low budget. It's pretty entertaining and has an excellent soundtrack. The characters are definitely what makes it worth watching, though the ending is a little weak. Everything wraps up too neatly.
After the Apocalypse - Saw it at the Edmonton Film Festival. Takes place after WW3 featuring a bunch of people trying to get by without any verbal communication. Shot in b/w on a shoestring budget, with absolutely no dialog. Not a single line. I liked it, but there's no chance you'll ever see it so hah! Arrested Development - Nitin, the best way to decide for yourself is to grab a torrent and watch an episode. The style is fresh and I think the jokes are pretty damn funny. A friend of mine thought the jokes were tired, but I don't see it. Also, if you grab the first episode, it did improve as it went but should give you a good idea. If you grab a later episode... well some jokes are only funny because of what happened earlier. So I guess you can't win. fair enough, but in your opinion is it even enough over the whole season or is it patchy like a lot of shows?
IMO, that show is kind of like Seinfeld. A whole bunch of unrelated crazy shit happens, and then somehow comes together at the end. It's also kind of wierd, they got this big wierd incest story going on, and it's just fuckin crazy. I wouldn't call it like hilarious, but I do feel satisfied after watching it.
Nah, it's pretty consistent. The episodes pretty much flow from one into the other. It's not even a little like Seinfeld.
