Two days ago, I learned via Daring Fireball's invaluable linked list that Netflix had rolled out an impressive battery of RSS feeds. This includes a rundown of their 200-odd weekly new releases.

Yesterday, in addition to learning that Netflix is a far more vigilant accumulator of B-movies about vampires than I might have presupposed, I noticed that the Ewan McGregor/Tilda Swinton movie "Young Adam" was out on video already.

Between the chance to hear those two speak with their own Scottish accents and their NC-17 sex scenes, Young Adam was one we meant to catch in theaters, but it slipped away before we got around to it. Now I discover that the weak bastards at Columbia/Tri-Star never released the theatrical cut on DVD in the United States, instead hacking out a sex scene and lord knows what else to qualify for an R rating. Access to Blockbuster and Wal-mart trumps other concerns. I gotta get me one of those region-free DVD players. 09:57AM «
