Does Blockbuster Edit Their Movies?

Acutally I find DVDs are more and more going in the other direction. They're not edited to make them more family friendly; it is in the other direction.

A movie is R in the theater, and then comes out with an "Unrated Version" DVD. The 40 Year Old Virgin is being marketed this way on TV.

You can be sure that if they are doing it, Blockbuster is not requesting edited versions of some movies because they are into family values.
It is solely about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Same for the studio. Blockbusters sells and rents lots of movies. The studio will make another version in order to make more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

You guys can read all about it here.. It mentions Titanic.. It does not mention Blockbuster.

They only edit the movies Fatparrot rents.

While it may be picking nits: They don't edit their movies but the ones they rent are edited.

Walmart and Blockbuster do edit their rentals and remove explicit scenes and violence. Walmart since joined with Netflix for their rental service and may no longer rent edited versions.
