okay, it's probably not much of a mystery how i feel about "sanitized versions" of films on DVD. (cleverclever people buy a DVD, edit out [what they consider to be] objectionable content, and sell it at a markup.) i hear what they're saying about just wanting to be able to see a film without sex and violence, and my response is (a) there are plenty of films that legitimately don't have sex or violence; or (b) so become a producer. you don't get to screw around with existing work and sell it at a profit. worst case scenario, these guys could end up hurting us, by which i mean fans, who are so careful not to make a profit with our screwing-around-with-existing-work. we do what we do because we like the original, man. we add; we don't subtract.
but anyway. this paragraph made me choke:

but anyway. this paragraph made me choke:
Some films are beyond editing. Family Flix didn't even try to sanitize the ultra-violent "Kill Bill, Vol. 1" because it would have been reduced to almost nothing. For the same reason, it won't touch movies in which a character appears "immodestly dressed" in too many scenes. It also has not tackled Mel Gibson's violent but reverential "Passion of the Christ," because, [Sandra] Teraci [of Family Flix] says, "everyone has already seen it."
