Censoring the Classics

SOUL MAN????

Thought go back to this thread as suggested instead of R I P thread.

In refference to what Susan said

'Bo Selecta' I have never seen, but I am really not a fan of Leigh Francis / Keith Lemon

Yes I'm not a fan of the Keith lemon character he grates me and annoys me, also I tend to find characters like are also a excuse to act like perves and get away with it, where as people have acted like that and been up on charges for it.

The thing with being told Little Britain and The League of Gentlemen are racist beggars belief.

Are we to believe that 2017 in the case of The League was a 'different time' so was, in the case of Little Britain, April 23rd, yes just over a f*cking month ago, when it featured in the Covid-19 Big Night In fund raiser. Have ideals changed so much in a month?

For god's sake, stop bandwagon jumping BBC, Netflix, oh and everyone else who seemingly has just noticed there are statues of controversial figures throughout Britain, you know why now?

Interesting times all the same.

It does reinforce my view that anyone who gives away all their physical media owns nothing. They may think they could access anything they wanted via streaming but you really are at the whims of the streaming services. It can all be taken away from you just like that.

Imagine you were a season and a bit into League of Gentlemen on Netflix?

Tough shit!

[Demoncrat]

Indeed. Funnily enough was revisiting the first series of League merely because it came to hand during a search for something else. A lovely thing. Everybody in it is a grotesque. Aspirational it isn't. It's meant to be laughed at.

Orwell spinning in his grave is the sound you hear instead.
Ahem.

Yep, i feel weird when i say to commoners that i'm a film collector, the young people look at me as if i'm mental, well iam, but at least i can watch what i want when i want.

I've only ever had digital copies of a few films on my playstation, at one point Troma were selling films on the PS store for £1 so i got a few.

I did have a copy of Argento's Jenifer ep of Masters of horror like this as well and now i'm not able to watch it because it's not on the site anymore, i paid for that episode and it well pissed me off, so i thought never again.

Also if the computer breaks or the internet goes down you are screwed.

If my blu player quits i've still got 3 other devices i can watch a dvd on.

Indeed. I have to titter to myself everytime some civillian asks where they can stream the film you or some other fan is recommending.

I tend to say, I just look at the appropriate shelf dearie
