This really is bizarre...
 

Is this where we are heading? Fear of showing a classy movie that
depicts the doggedness and bravery of our soldiers during World War II?

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

Isn't it just so coincidental that the ABC affiliates owned by the scum
sucking right winger who wanted to air the anti-Kerry propaganda will
not be showing the film.

They don't want to do anything to hasten people's realization that Bush
got us in a stupid war and the result is a lot of kids and men dying for
little if any reason.

I like Molly Ivin's analogy. She said that to get a dog to stop
killin' chickens you hang the dead chicken around the dog's neck until
it putrefies down to the last morsel. The dog doesn't kill chickens
anymore.

Bush is going to putrefy around our necks until we can't stand the
smell.

Well, so much for red state/blue state moral division.

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

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.

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

Hubba hubba..... :)

Does it interest anybody that the one state on that list which could
be called the ultimate liberal haven isn't broadcasting the movie?
