Dammit, A&E, 'uncut' means 'not edited'.
So, please tell me how A&E, or any other network for that matter, can air "Reservoir Dogs" with the f-word edited out, and still have the gall to call it "The Uncut Reservior Dogs".

I feel Newspeak coming on...

1. How many times is "fuck" used in that movie
Nevermind, it's a Tarantino film, at least several hundred.

Seems to me that A&E is showing concern for what is happening in California...excuse me, Colleefornya. By editing out "fuck", they are preventing a few fundies from spontaneously combusting from sensory overload. It's almost comical how something as simple as coarse language can set a fundy frothing at the mouth.

Actually I'm wrong, its completely comical.

2. Yeah,kill about 50 people graphically,
but don't say "fuck". Now that's obscene.

4. They first aired that a couple weeks ago
Edited on Fri Oct-31-03 12:23 AM by electricmonk
and I thought the same thing. They left everything else in like the opening scene talking about Madonna's Like A Virgin song but no f-word. And then before a commercial they had a little fact up that said that the f-word was used 142 (or something like that) times in the movie.

Even dumber though was watching They Live on AMC and they edited the "I'm here to chew bubblegum and kick ass" line. I've never heard ass edited before. :wtf:
