NC-17 takes the gay out of DVD rentals
Advocate, The, April 12, 2005
When gay Spanish director Pedro Almodovar's new film, Bad Education, was slapped with an NC-17 rating, it meant that customers of Blockbuster Video's online rental service wouldn't find it there: The video rental giant doesn't stock NC-17-rated movies. Fortunately for them, an R-rated version of the film will also be released on April 12.
So how hard
is it to rent
some of the
many gay-related
movies that carry an
NC-17 rating?
