Until the high-def streaming movie revolution arrives down my fat pipe, like many people I've resorted to renting DVDs by post. I used to be with Lovefilm but switched allegiance to Blockbuster after they offered a 3-month free trial and I found they had more top titles in stock more often.
The Blockbuster site isn't great, but does a decent job of letting customers know what the new releases are so they can be added to the wish-list with a couple of clicks.
In the New By Week section linked from the home page, Blockbuster says "You can browse all DVDs released over the last twelve weeks. Check out our Pick for each week or find out more with our weekly editorials. Sweet!"
Sweet indeeed! This week, in between recommendations for Transformers, Heroes - Season 1 and Modern Jazz Quartets, there's a slew of titles that start "XXX Hardcore".
What on Planet Blockbuster could they be all about?
Clicking, the top XXX link reveals that it's promoting the classic XXX Hardcore - XXX Anal Vol. 2 - Part 2.
Is that the long-forgotten follow up to THX 1138? A missing gem from Scorcese?
No, it's just an example of the wholesome festive family fun that Blockbuster can offer this Christmas.
As the DVD Details helpfully explain: "This DVD features: Anal Latex Whores".
Even better, XXX Hardcore - XXX Anal Vol. 2 - Part 3, also recommended this week at Blockbuster, features "Anal Asylum".
Sweet!
