Re: goatboy [27163]:
Didn`t know about this, thanks for the info. Very interesting point you make about the activities of the BBFC in relation to which political party are in power. Don`t know if we`re just seeing a number of particularly troublesome releases which they would have felt compelled to hack chunks out of regardless, or if they feel obliged to be a little more ruthless with the scissors now the Tories are back in power. Perhaps they`re still a little wary of the party who gave us the original VRA.
It`s also very interesting to consider that under CommuNuLabour, despite their overarching implementation of draconian, fist-clunking, stifling policies, one thing that did improve was the relaxation of censorship of entertainment, at least in some ways.
And no, that doesn`t mean I want the fuckers back in power... goatboy [27163. Posted 26-Aug-2010 Thu 17:36]
Surprised it`s not mentioned here yet, the bbfc have ordered 3 minutes 48 seconds of cuts to A Serbian Film, 79 cuts, and a screening in London this weekend for frightfest is off as Westminister council won`t allow them to show anything but the bbfc approved version.
Though to be honest I think it was optimistic of frightfest to think the film, which has a scene where a newborn baby is raped, would get through the bbfc, especially given the tories are back in power. MichaelG [27162. Posted 26-Aug-2010 Thu 12:08]
I`d just like to say a big `THANK YOU` to the BBFC for the heads-up about cutting the piss out of the `I Spit On Your Grave` remake - I really appreciate their transparency - and also for doing their bit to ensure that the distributor of this movie loses sales because no-one wants to watch something that`s been rendered incoherent by their excessive meddling and pruning. Dissuading movie fans from going to see the cinema release and from buying the DVD - the recession rolls on thanks to self-important, hand-wringing cunts like this.
I mean, what is the fucking point when I can order it totally uncut from the US Amazon site months before it gets released here anyway? The BBFC should just wind up right now and pack all their employees off to the nearest job centre...
Oh, and after his comments about `Medal of Honour`, Liam Fox can fuck right off too - the first member of the Coalition to royally get my back up. Every government has at least one, don`t they?
