My name is Bres and I am a horror addict.



So.... I was watching some movie on Chiller, "LEGION OF THE DEAD" I think, and it opened with these two kids racing on their dirt bikes when one of them crashes and falls into an underground room which is the gateway to more Egyptian Evil than you could ask for. So his buddy crawls down the hole into the room to see if his friend is ok. Turns out, the crash victim is fine so the two buds celebrate by sharing a ganja steek. ("stick" to you republicans out there) Yeah, mon.

OK. Here's my thing: As the joint is passed and smoked, the scene has been edited so that the joint is always blurred out! (which is so 1960's)



WHAT'S UP WITH THAT??



PS - I'm watchin' in Phoenix

I think I saw that as well! And the really funny thing I remember is that they

blurred out the joint ONLY when it was being "hit" and right up to their lips! I find

the way censorship has evolved to be rather funny. I remember when the digital age

was starting and you could see something like JAWS on one channel where they

wouldn't even let you see the blood in the water and a "newer" edited version that

let all the violence stay in but none of the cussing or sexual references like "Here's to

swimmin' with bow-legged women". Unfortunately, America is still caught up in

"Victorian Dread" and isn't comfortable with sex and drugs (which lead to sex)

being shown so openly on television or even in movies. Violence is another thing

now and totally acceptable. I saw someone get their face ripped off in a bear trap

the other day on Sci-Fi in the afternoon! The scene wasn't cut AT ALL! So, I guess

it's fine with America to go seek revenge on someone with an axe but don't do drugs

or have intercourse as it will lead to the decline of our civilization!

If you have an interest in how the MPAA works with cutting movies, I suggest you

watch a film called "This Film is Not Yet Rated". It is on IFC from time to time and

really gives some insight on how the MPAA is just a massive FRAUD and how they can

single handedly destroy a movie if their anonymous members so choose. It's a great

documentary.

Yeah, and the corporate people decide what to censor based on pressure from advertisers. The more right-wing the people who pay the bills are, the more censorship we'll see. And yeah, like DB said, sex is the ultimate sin that they want to cover up. Violence is okay because it features prominently in the bible.

ROFLMAO!! Satan has a pretty big publicity budget in that book!
