Then Blockbuster sells you these edited versions without revealing that fact to the customer. I consider that dishonest. Unless you'd seen the originals, you may not realize they were doing it. This is most evident in indie/foreign films, not pre-neutered for the MPAA / US theater distribution network; if infact Blockbuster will carry these titles at all. If all you want to watch is the same stuff they're playing in the mall, fine, but IMHO you're missing out.
they USED to censor a LONG LONG time ago, but they now carry the same movies you buy anywhere else
