    Like I said earlier - if anything....your version may be edited, unfortunately. Hopefully not for your sake. I imagine FXUK is similar to our FX network and they're pretty good about airing stuff without much editing.

    Yeah, no way it'll be edited in the UK. Some of the shit we get away with on our telly programmes would make a million soccer moms faint with utter indignation. I mean I remember seeing the first season of Dexter air on ITV (free-to-air channel, i.e. not subscription channel like on Sky or Virgin Media) ... I'd seen it long before that, but it was interesting to see that it was airing in a relatively prime time (but post-10pm) timeslot. As far as I'm aware it wasn't edited - just an example.

    It used to be far stricter - films like T2 and so on having certain violence and every single "fuck" edited out - but for the last decade or so it's been far, far more relaxed. It's very rare for something to be edited on TV these days ... unless it's the use of "cunt" in Shaun of the Dead.

    ITV used to be the worst offender for that. Their audio cut for 'Aliens' in the late 80's was nothing short of astonishing.

    Nah, the best/worst one was Robocop..."Ladies leave", "Why me! Why me!"

    I still remember Crocodile Dundee. There was a scene where he was talking to two prostitutes and their pimp turns up and various comments are exchanged, and the pimp obivously says something nasty about the ladies, so Dundee punches and knocks him out.

    Obviously a word or two in the exchange was deemed too much, so in the cut version, aired for kids, we see Dundee talking to the two prostitues, the pimp basically walk up, and Dundee just punching him for no reason!

    Way to go! Mindless violence is OK kids!!

    Ahhhh, Robocop on ITV during the 90s ... I remember it well. You can imagine my shock when I saw it on the official video!

    "Fun me! Fun me!" as the convenience store robber was repeatedly saying. And I think Clarence said something about "blow it out your nose" rather than "ass" at one point ... I mean good god.

    As a kid I never noticed these edits really, but geez, they stick out these days.

    It's always annoying when they show a PG movie during the daytime too - e.g. Back to the Future - they edit out the swearing, so Marty's always saying "Holy geez!" rather than "Holy shit!"

    I remember laughing at Doc's TV line of "If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 mph, you're going to see some serious STUFF". It's just so obvious that you're left wondering why they even tried. Shaun and Fuzz's "funk" are quite funny too.

    I can deal with TV edits from time to time. You've just got to have a bit of....

    Speaking of those Shaun/Fuzz "funk" features, I wonder what the equivalent on the Scott Pilgrim release will be like. Seriously - there's gonna be a "funk" version on it. Hmmm...

    Maybe just the same, but replacing soft words like "shit" with nonsense, rather than "fuck" etc with nonsense.

    No surprise, AICN, CinemaBlend and DarkHorizons are seemingly not interested in the interview...

    I still remember them turning a blind eye to Lee's fab Romero interview. Holy Jesus, just the Romero puppet itself was worth posting about surely... But nope then... And nope again now...

    Bizarre!

    Meh, been done.

    But seriously...

    Between that and my crew going "Muldooooon" a lot, I have to pick this up, now.

    Is that the DVD or Blu-ray?
    Those aren't real problems, Sam.

    Both, I think. It's at the beginning and end of the "walking after midnight" documentary. It's on the BR, but i'm also pretty sure it's on the dvd.

    The doc is made by the same "big boned" guy from the Diary specials.

    No respect!

    But there's got to be a few places that will find this interesting...hell, what about AMC themselves?
