So, explain this to me, please: how is it that IFC, which champions independent film and music, has just struck an exclusivity deal giving Blockbuster a 60 day window on all IFC films? What happens to all the hard working independent video stores out there who actually support and understand these films from the get go, who will now be left out of the loop? Way to support independent business, guys.

that is total bullshit... as a totally ripped off ex client of blockbuster i have to say that blockbuster in general runs a very shady business which already is enough for me to hate this deal between ifc and them. but what i think indie lovers should really be worried about is blockbuster's film editing practices.
what's going to happen to nc17 films? after they are all hacked up for blockbuster are we gonna see original versions released 6 months later for other rental stores or will ifc get lazy and just release one version?
i couldn't find a link so this may be just a rumor, but i read a comment saying that IFC would also edit unrated films for blockbuster...
best we can do is boycott blockbuster so they can finally go out of business
