Its obvious. They could show that movie, its been on TV before. And it could
have been edited for television easily.

I remember the movie well. I saw it in the theaters and I recall seeing
it on HBO, I believe. There's no reason to "edit" it for television, and
I believe ABC's deal with the studio forbids deletions.

What would you edit? The "cuss words"? They are integral to the movie.
The movie is violent, but no more so than other movies on television.

There's something else going on here.

Ah, come on Harry, get a hold of yourself. You are starting to sound
like the mentality of the 50's when everything unexplainable must be a
commie plot.

Both of the sides, left and right, are acting like the old Rockfeller,
Tri-lateralist, Illumaniti, Lyndon LaRouche, Black Jesuit,
MasonKnight, conspiracists. The "secret" societies of the Roman
Catholic Church. Remember those? :)

You and I must think alike.

By the way, I've never seen the movie. Haven't seen "Deer Hunter",
"Apocalypse Now", "Platoon", "Full Metal Jacket" either.

Now that I think about it, I haven't seen a movie since "Pirates of
the Caribbean".

Television is still over-reacting to the boob show at the
Superbowl.

Michael Powell was a Clinton appointee you know. He was put in place
to clean up the FCC's act - Al Gore's favorite go-to Commission of how
reformed government should look.

Look where it got them - single source news, the new morality in
broadcast standards and now this - broadcasters afraid to broadcast
movies.

You just can't make this up.

Eisboch (back to watching the "Girls gone Wild" infomercial)

Has nothing on the "Women In Chains, Part II" infomercial.

Hubba hubba..... :)
