....why must they chop a movie like this to shit, just so they can show it in the afternoon? Why can't the basic cable channels just leave it as is and show it after midnight, or something, so little kids won't watch it? It makes sense to me. If the USAs or TNTs want to keep up with the HBOs of the world, they need to allow swearing and adult subject matter, just show it later in the evening. If you complain that your 9 year old kid heard Jay say "Motherfucker's better than MacGiver!" because the little shit was actually up at 1am, then you're a shitty parent! The rugrat should be in bed by 10!
I still say the worst editing ever for a film to be shown on basic cable was Cheech And Chong's Next Movie. Red's dufflebag was full of DIAMONDS instead of weed! Those of you familiar with that film know how that fucked up the entire story line by having nothing to do with marijuana.
: First time message. Some of my favorite movies are the "Kevin Smith collection." I recently TRIED to watch mallrats on the USA network, and lets just say this, I coulden't! Stupid censorship. Half the things Jay was saying wern't even in his voice. Man that pissed me off. The movie was so chopped up, i just turned the channel. Now I want to go buy Mallrats and watch it in all its glory and vulgarity. MAN I HATE CENSORSHIP! That's all.
