I prefer to enjoy the movies themselves, and not review the technical aspects of their reproduction. Probably because I don't have a fancy home cinema setup, just a basic tv & blu ray player. More love for the cult labels, less competition would be nice! |
That is a good point. I suppose that those who are a bit younger than we are may not be aware of how things were in the draconian days when the BBFC cut so many films, especially anything with plenty of gore.
I remember sending off for a list of uncut VHS bootlegs of various video nasties from an advert in the back of Dark Side magazine back in the '90s. The picture quality of those bootlegs would have been horrendous, the majority would probably have been cropped and some wouldn't have even been in English!
