i dont think anyone would become a smith fan after seeing that shitty tv version of mallrats. i stand by my opinion. YOU go fuck myself.
: i think if a film is unfit to be shown on a channel, then it should not be shown on that channel. no sense ruining a good flick. it'll never happen, though, so let's just eagerly anticipate the abc sunday night movie version of vulgar.
: : 1) The reason movie studios make movies is to make money. Part of making money is selling the rights to the highest paying TV channel. If the channel wants to cut it, they can. They've paid for the right to that. It's up to them if they're gonna rip the artists behind it a new arsehole.
: : 2) The reason the artists would allow this (like they have any choice) is so then more people will see there work and then more people may even become fans. I wonder how many people who're Kevin Smith fans are fans because they saw one of his films, albeit cut to shit, one late night on TV.
: : 3) You're an arsehole. Go fuck yourself.
: : Have a nice day,

: ...the cut up version of a movie, maybe they'll go look for the proper version. Fuck, maybe even by it.
: Everyone wins.
