I like watching my movies uncut, and enjoy shows where charactrers speak without consideration for children being present on the other side of the T.V.. What bothers me is when a channel, especially on cable, bleeps out words in a movie.
Why bother showing the movie if they can't stand the sound of the dialogue that comes with it?

Believe it or not, not
Believe it or not, not everyone wants to hear profanity, and I am one of them. The actual cable movie networks, the premium ones, do not cut their movies, but if you're talking TNT, TBS and the like, they still have to follow sound judgement. I do have to chuckle, though. I was watching Apollo 13 the other night on TV Land because I was bored, and they edited out a word. I died laughing, almost. The reality shows and tv sitcoms that channel is airing now says much worse, so I just didn't understand that cut. It made no sense to me. Anywho, watch premium, or be prepared for the bleeps; that's the nature of basic cable and network tv.
I very much agree with you.
I very much agree with you. If I am in the shoes of the director, I'll choose a script that is fine for all ages. So that no need to beep and beep all the time. It irritates me most of the time while watching a show.
I also want to see movies
I also want to see movies uncut without the language beeped or edited. I think that if people don't want their kids exposed to bad language, then they should not let them watch movies on TV that are not rated for children.
I also listen to a Radio Show on National Public Radio that has actors reading great stories written by the best writers of today and of all time.
This radio program is totally educational, but even they are forced to edit the language too.
I think that is just ridiculous.
If literature is now also permitted to be censored, how can we really teach our kids what is good writing?
I have a vcr with a language
I have a vcr with a language filter- so that cuts out all the bad language and my kids can watch the same thing I'm watching. There really is no reason to even have bad language in movies- it doesn't make the movies better.
The words used speak to the
The words used speak to the characters state of mind.
My parents took us to see Patton while I was still in elementary school, bad language and all. If the wording had been filtered, the representation of the character would have been lost, and created a huge inaccuracy associate withthe nature of the man.
