Blockbuster wasn’t as strict about these things, and neither were most movie theaters in those days, from what I remember.

I remember Blockbuster as being really quite strict. Maybe that was just in the UK..

I wonder how Gothic would compare to the more outlandish of Lars Von Trier's oeuvre.

I don’t know, I’ve been too scared to watch his movies!

Dogville was only worth it because of the ending (boy was it worth it; Miss Trunchbull had nothing on those villagers). I started watching Antichrist, then chickened out and read the Wikipedia synopsis and was like, I don't need to do this to myself.
