  |  Death of a President I'm old enough to think that "Death of a President" is the Mark Lane book about the Kennedy assassination. But, we just watched a new movie with that same title, about the assassination of Pres. Bush. It's really well done. It's done in faux documentary style - and, it really seems that Bush has been shot - and that Cheney is giving his eulogy, etc. It's not very long - only about 90 minutes -but really well done and effective. I don't know why I hadn't heard about it - has anybody else seen it? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance. Bigotry is a social disease. Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage." | |||||||||||||||||||||

if it was "rent Death of a President free" im sure blockbuster is getting the right idea...Here ya go everyone watch Pres Bush get his ass shot and die FOR FREE just because we at blockbuster care about the customer. Im sure it was flying off the shelf because everyone wanted to see bush dead  What Profit Is It To A Man...If He Gains The World But Loses His Own Soul {Matthew 16:26} | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| no - LOL we have Blockbuster mail on demand - or whatever they call it if you return the movies you get in the mail at a store instead of returning them via post office, you get a free movie for each one you return. it's a great deal we get about 30 movies a month for 17.99 - though it wouldn't be as good if you don't have a local blockbuster to return the movies to and pick up free ones (you don't get the free ones if you return them in the postage paid envelope.) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

 | Blockbuster is such an evil corporation though. They treat their employees really poorly and censor the movies they carry based on who knows what. I would highly recommend giving your money to ANYONE else. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| censor? I don't know what they're censored for - I've watched several director-cut, unrated movies that were pretty graphic. I've never had that "this film has been altered" qualifier before the movie starts (a legal requirement for altered films). *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

| I don't know about any censorship problems Blockbuster has or may have. They have been getting some bad press recently in my area from former employees concerning working conditions and scheduled hours, though. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Sorry, I should have been more clear. They censor their own selection based on who knows what.
