They don't bleep on Turner Classic Movies. They've ran Reservoir Dogs uncut at least twice.

I'm shocked to hear that when the profanity was taken out there was nothing holding you to the edge of your seat in Reservoir Dogs. I know most of the people I know in life are murderous thieves and Reservoir Dogs does an excellent job of portraying their interests and needs in a realistic way.

This thinly-veiled criticism is a strange one. Since when do movies have to portray things realistically?

They don't. I'll take Star Wars and it's simple fable of good and evil in a fantastical universe. I'll take Bresson's cruel realism. I'll take Fast5 with cars impossibly dragging bank vaults down winding roads in Rio--stupid fun, but harmless. I'll take all those things and enjoy them. But Reservoir Dogs is a trash movie in which a bunch of guys cuss and threaten and shoot and slice and intimidate and argue and bicker and it's completely empty as far as a thematic or artistic value and when you're left with just entertainment and the entertainment is cussing and threatening and shooting and slicing and intimidating and arguing and bickering I'm not terribly entertained. So it's not much of a surprise that when you watch it on TV and the cussing and violencing is taken out that there's not much left.

must be some regs on why one station doesn't have to bleep, and the other does.

I'll catch it sometime.

Watched "Sicario" or something like that w/ Benicio Del Toro, Emily Blunt, and another guy who's name isn't coming to me.

It's worth the rental. It moved a bit slow come mid-movie but it picked up again at the end and was worth the watch.

Actually there are no requirements for any cable network to bleep or censor. FCC regulations apply only to over-the-air transmission. Any cable network that censors is doing so voluntarily.

That's weird - the copy I made was from Sundance Channel, I think. Can't fathom why they would censor.

I just saw the opening diner scene - and assumed there was a cuss word or two I was missing when they were discussing the meaning of Madonna's "like a virgin". There should have been cuss words there, right? (I was tired then, just checking.... thanks).

If I was on a ship that had been torn in half and was left to the leadership of Casey Affleck, I'd take my chances swimming.
