Still, good news that the appeal yielded a better result and kudos to Shameless for appealling and pushing this and getting an extra half a minute back into the film. Shame it wasn't more but the joys of living in this country eh? |

We should just be thankful that those wonderful people are there to prevent us seeing such horrible images which will almost certainly give us psychopathic urges. The only have our best interests at heart. ![]() |

3 good size cheers to Shameless for an important step forward, would have loved to see the face of the person who first heard the news at the office, wonder if others thought it a wind-up. From over 11 minutes down to under 1, great job.

So yeah, the BBFC takes big leaps which I think is awesome and I still stad by their decision to eliminate animal cruelty. But in our modern society I think that censorship should only be applied to scenes of REAL violence - like animal cruelty and the like. But banning movies like "Human Centipede 2" oder censoring "I Spit on Your Grave" - even though they are really intense movies - has no place in a modern society. I cheer for every step of the way - but in the long run: censorship to fictional pieces of art has to be extinct! |

Can I just say, I've not been following the conversation, so sorry if this has already been said or I'm breaking up a conversation. THe concept that the BBFC must keep "the children" in mind is stupid. Of course, I'm jumping the gun. We're adults and should be allowed to see the uncut version of any film we want. Unfortunately, the BBFC is just appalling when it comes to censorship. Who gave them the right to tell adults what they can and can't see? ESPECIALLY when those who are passing judgement were able to see it. "Oh, I'm a 70 year old granny. I thought this FAKE BEHEADING was so tasteless. Let's cut it out because I don't like it." It's obvious Shameless has a foot in the door with the BBFC which should be commended and they abide by the laws set out by the govt and BBFC. But the fact that the BBFC thinks it's all high and mighty to be able to tell people what they can and can't watch is ridiculous. To wrap my rant up, conservatives always put children into the equation. Last time I checked, films like those Shameless release as well as films like Human Centipede are intended for adults and adults only (or am I missing something? ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm sure I've gone completely off-topic and just wanted to say that I don't feel comfortable buying a film if it's censored. Luckily, here in Australia we don't have censorship. If it doesn't match criteria it's banned outright. It's a shame (heh) that Shameless is releasing all of these forgotten films and that they're still butchered, although less so than twenty plus years ago. They're still butchered though. I'd get this movie but the 1 minute and, was it 20 seconds, of stuff cut is way too substantial to justify a purchase. With something like Cannibal Holocaust at least that's all of, what, sixteen seconds? That's just okay. As I said I'd prefer a 100% uncut film, but if it has to be cut, it needs to be cut a little as possible. You know I'm human because I'm pretty sure I just contradicted myself somewhere here... ![]() |

The nanny state always brings up kids cause it's so emotive, the argument goes "but little johnny and betsy might put CH in the dvd player and be emotionally damaged" hogwash. If that was the case knives, cigarettes and alcohol should be banned in the home cause kiddies could be damaged. All you have to do is look throughout history for the censoring regimes to find the bad guys ![]() ![]()
