I wanted to discuss this yesterday, but didn't get a chance. I know there's a group somewhere that was selling edited video to people who wanted sanitised versions of popular movies, and I'm wondering if these are the same people.
I think the whole thing is silly. I mean, I'm glad they're not at the point where they're forcing the movie makers to cut the scenes in the first place, but the whole logic behind it just baffles me.
I personally don't like violent movies, so I don't see them. Yes, I'm left out of the conversation if people are discussing "Kill Bill" but I can deal with it. I don't need to see an edited version just so I can say I've seen the movie. (and I imagine a movie like Kill Bill with the violence edited out would be about five minutes long.)
It is a slippery slope. It just gives me the heebie geebies. Where will it end?
