MrE26 said:Sick son of a b*tch? Was that really necessary? And no, i don't 'catch your drift' at all. Your argument makes no sense whatsoever. In fact, if anything, it confirms exactly what i said in the first place. i.e. You are no more free to watch whatever you want than we are.
Kumba said:Ok, NO! That wouldn't be classified as controlling what you watch. It'd be given an 'R' rating, but people could still see it without it being cutted. Spielburg wanted to make it a 'PG' movie so more kids would see it, which was a good move by Spielburg. Ah, Canyon, so you'd like to know my age, eh? Well i'm afraid i'd be violating the forum's rules if i told you that information, but what i can tell you is that i'm a junior in high school. Class of '05! Yeehah!
Okay, that's cool. The point i was making was that both of our countries have the same levels of censorship. Granted, some of their decisions do differ at times, but in general they're pretty equal. I agree that the censors did get a little bit scissor-happy when they rated Temple Of Doom, but a few shots were a little too graphic to make PG in my opinion. I do also think the uproar about the level of violence in the film when it was released in the US contributed to the amount we had cut out of our version. What annoys me is the fact that Paramount haven't even bothered trying to get the shots reinstated into the film. I'm pretty sure a lot of these cuts would be waived nowadays.Kumba said:Fine, you're not a sick SOB. I was just blowing off some steam. The reason there are censorship boards is to make films better to see with your g/f or family, alright. that's my point. i don't want to see some movie where someone gets their nads ripped off in a bloody mess by some knife-wielding freak. Sure, i don't mind movies like hannibal or scream. Now do you understand? And also, I think the temple cuts were ridiculous.
I don't think Paramount normally encode their DVDs to play in more than one region, so i'm pretty sure the Australian set will be for Region 4 or multi-region players only. I may be wrong though.Originally posted by Najemikon
I reckon the Australian set is best choice, because of PAL & their compatibility with players that are Region 2 only.
Canyon said:Sorry my friend. Over here in the UK we go by different grades in our schools. Just tell me what year you were born in and that'll do!
BTW, whats all this about violating the forum rules? Are we not allowed to say what our ages are? [/B]
Canyon said:Yes, dear boy. I might not live in the US, but here in the UK we have, Elstree Studios, Wested Leather, Herbert Johnson, Nathans and Burmans, not to mention the fact that Denholm Elliot, John Rhys Davies, Julian Glover, Paul Freeman and several crew members from the trilogy are British...

Originally posted by KumbaWell Canyon, seeing in how you are so persuading, I'm sure you could ask one of your American pals what the normal age is for someone that's a junior in high school. Actually, I made up that part about violating forum rules, although, for all i know there just might be a rule that says that, haha . Nahh, if I told you what year it was that take all the fun away, lol. What I can tell you is that it was after 1975.
Hmm interesting. Seeing as I was born before 1975 as well.....
