DVD's - So many choices...


Want to rent the unrated widescreen Old School? I did, and luckily I was able to get it from Netflix. But sometimes I want something right away. I don't want to have to put it in my queue and then wait for it to be mailed to me. So my other option is to go to my local video store. However local doesn't mean the small family owned business that used to be right around the corner. My choices now are the nearby grocery store or the Hollywood and Blockbuster that are right across the street from each other (oh, how do I choose?). If I go to any of those places I probably won't be able to find the unrated version of anything. These place are "family friendly" and don't carry unrated movies. Chances are I also won't be able to find the widescreen version either. With Old School there are the unrated and R rated widescreen as well as full screen versions. That's four versions and most video stores are not going to get them all.


Lately it seems as though they are only getting full screen versions. I have been wondering what the public really likes more, or am I the only one who cares? I greatly prefer getting the widescreen version. Haven't people come to accept the black bars by now?
