Since its inception, the NC-17 rating has constituted de facto censorship within the movie industry (see Kirby Dick's self-aggrandizing yet fascinating This Film Is Not Yet Rated for more details about just how fucked up the rating system is). One of the biggest reasons no one ever wanted to put a picture out with an NC-17 was because Blockbuster refused to carry them.
Well, lookee here! 'Twould appear that excuse no longer exists. What's the next bullshit excuse for keeping sexuality either ghettoized in porn or euphemized to the point of meaninglessness?
RIP Blockbuster. May your insulting attitude toward to the American moviegoer never be forgotten so that it may never be repeated.
