This is one of my favorite movies of all time, because I like the characters and the '80s.

It's on AMC right now, and they've completely butchered it. They took out the weed-smoking scenes! And it's all so retarded to have their curses dubbed over. Especially since entire sentences are made out of curse words, so it looks like a Godzilla movie.

Anyways, let us discuss this delightful movie. And to make a little discussion: if you were alive when this was in theaters, you're getting closer to the grave.

That moive does kick ass. Yeah, thats why I sometimes hate watching those movie channels. But most of the time AMC and TCM do a good job.

One of my favorite movies of all time. Along with Ferris Bueler's Day Off.

...and yes I saw both of those movies in the theater. Repeatedly.

One of my friends used to do her own lipstick like Molly Ringwald did... by sticking the tube in her cleavage. Man, my friend had HUGE knockers!

I've always liked that movie. A lot of John Hughes movies were good, but that one always stuck in my mind; at first because I was the nerd, then because I was a wrestling jock, then back to geek after having passed through that particular looking glass.

As for the censorship thing...don't get me started. More and more lately, the imbalance in use and pointlessness of censorship has really started getting to me. You can have songs like Nine Inch Nails with lyrics "I want to fuck you like an animal/I want to feel you from the inside" and they only bleep out "fuck", or more recently Outkast's "Roses" where they bleep out the word shit in the lyrics "you like to think your shit don't stink", but later in the same song (on the radio at least) you hear the word "bitch". In the music video they were forced to use the word "witch" (even though it's just a different audio track; the people are saying bitch). Likewise, the whole bru-ha-ha about Janet Jackson's boob. Look...I've seen the pictures. It wasn't that amazing. Quite the contrary. We can see Dennis Franz's ass on NYPD Blue but we can't see naked boob? Yeesh.

Pretty much.

The funny thing is that it's not like TV censorship bugs me. If I want to see boobs presented in an attractive manner for my enjoyment I can go to Lyinar or I can look up porn on the net. It's the petty nature and disrespect for modern language that bugs me. Phrases like "acts like their shit don't stink" aren't offensive in common usage.

Apparently, "shorts" is a far too explicit word for the TV audience, as they dubbed it over, changing the phrase to "Eat my socks."

I've come to the conclusion that the world of censership is run by a group of 5 grandmas that likes to see Franz's ass.

The world isnt sane, and there isnt a whole lot you can do about it except try and let those that are in charge know that the ones that get their knickers all in a bunch are a minority, and seeing JJ's tit actually made more people laugh then get a hard on.

Oh, and Sig Pic test.

My grandpappy once said, "Cheer up! It could be worse". So I cheered up, and sure enough, it got worse.

Indeed.

And I don't even know if Blazing Saddles is the same movie when shown on TV.
