Might that not be only possible because it is privately held?

- olliej 9y agoBlockbuster was controlled by a fairly conservative group that deliberately chose not to carry porn. They even made that awful stripper movie (versayth anyone?) “sfw ” by using cutting edge CGI to add little triangle bras, apparently costing more than the original movie. Which I think they had to pull because that made it copyright infringement :)
- curun1r 9y agoIt wasn't just porn they didn't like, Blockbuster edited any movie they considered unsavory before the transition to DVD. The last movie I rented from Blockbuster was "Bad Lieutenant." The normal, R-rated cut is 91 minutes. The Blockbuster cut was under an hour. They cut so much of the movie that the plot no longer made sense. I was so annoyed I vowed never to rent from them again.
- olliej 9y agoI believe they solved the problem of never renting from them again :D (too soon? :D )
