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.
"Life is not like the songs sweetling, you may learn that one day to your sorrow." Petyr Baelish to Sansa Stark ~ From "A Song of Ice and Fire
...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!
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.

Time for my favorite Jack Nicholson quote:
quote:
If you suck on a tit the movie gets an R rating. If you hack the same tit off with an axe it will be PG.
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.

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.

Of course not! They will, however, do in a Shadowlands beastie right proper.

Indeed.
And I don't even know if Blazing Saddles is the same movie when shown on TV.
It's not something people hear about.
