The degree to which shit gets edited for TV.
Watching Pulp Fiction on AMC right. Toward the end of the movie, when the two guys are getting bad stuff done to them by the sheriff and the gun store owner.....AMC cut every single appearance of the gimp from that scene. EVERY SINGLE ONE. There's a bit of dialog where you hear Zeke rapping his fingers on the gimp's head which is off screen. That's the only hint you'd know he was there, and only if you'd watched the original. The whole part where Butch rises up off his chair and kills the gimp? Yeah, that's all 4 or 5 cuts done terribly to make it look like Butch could have gotten up any time he freakin wanted to.
Edited for time my ass. In 10 years movies made in my generation are going to be 30 mins shorter when shown on TV, because censors are fucking prudes. AMC has been doing a whole week of mob movies, and pretty much left them alone in terms of removing scenes. Scarface? Yeah, that's far more morally questionable than a homosexual in a gimp suit. I think the goal was basically to erase the assertion that they were getting raped, which while it ain't pretty, ain't their god damn business to be removing. They don't even remove the word "rape" in the dialog later on. So rape is ok, but having a semi-comical guy in a leather gimp suit that Willis beats the crap out of, that's too much?
And then the entire scene between when Vince shoots Marvin in the face, to when they get to Jimmy's house drinking coffee.....gone. Replaced by a black screen and a voice over by Vince "I just shot Marvin in the face."
Seriously, you people are fucking hacks. Ridiculous dubbing over swear words may be bad, but it's not a license to recut the movie like you're fucking directors instead.
