I've checked online, and again & again it is claimed
that Netflix does NOT censor it's Watch Instantly
choices, but that's absolute bullshit.
Here's complaints about a censored "L Word": http://community.netflix.com/forum/topics/the-l-word-censored
"The Tudors"
http://www.hackingnetflix.com/2007/04/netflix_censori.html
And, from my own experience, "Caligula"(*) is hacked to bits.
It is in view of Netflix's DISGUSTING censorship that I must
(extremely) cautiously announce that Starz's new series,
"Spartacus: Blood and Sand" is available to Watch Instantly
on Netflix.
Now I have no way of actually knowing if there's the slightest
censorship of the episodes, having nothing to compare them
to. In Netflix's defense, there were an awful lot of Bodacious
Ta-Tas on display, not to mention a lot of F-bombs bombs
getting dropped... not to mention the C-word. No danglely
boy parts to speak of, though.
....so maybe it isn't censored, maybe all the promised
"Full Frontal" is the chicks.
(*) We actually owned a copy of "Caligula," way back when,
on VHS, when it's reputation was still strong enough to inflame
a person's curiosity by it's mere mention. I know, because it
got mentioned many, many, many, times -- far too many -- and
what followed were usually pleas by the curious for me to toss
the damn thing in the VCR and let them watch. This occurred to
such an extant that one evening I brought it over to the home of
some curious friends, and stood in the next room, just outside
the doorway where I couldn't see the TV, describing each and
every scene.... and sometimes what was going to happen next.
You get a WHOLE DIFFERENT perspective once the shock
wears off, let me tell you. For one thing, though it is popularly
believed that Caligula was quite insane, and most people who
view the film walk away believing he was insane, the movie
is very deceptive. The movie's Caligula is not crazy. The viewer
is mislead into believing he is because of his shocking acts,
but he is not insane.
"Power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely."
That was the message of the film.
