I hate "Edited for Television"
TNT has Kill Biil 1 on and all the cartoonish blood letting has been digi-edited out

Thank the Goddess that I have the DVDs

1. Why do you even watch it?
Watch the DVD!

Or better yet, watch Reservoir Dogs on DVD.

2. Worst edited for TV movie ever = Mallrats
They even took out the Sublime song "Smoke Two Joints" at one point in the movie.

4. I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one

Worse edit ever is the old Fox Network's edit of "The Road Warrior". The censors removed all physical contact/implications of violence between people including punches connecting. I ended up watching the whole thing out of horrified fascination.

5. Big Lebowski
Walter's signature line "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK A STRANGER IN THE ASS!!!!" was changed to "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FIGHT A STRANGER IN THE ALPS!!!!"

:rofl:

6. Yes, the Big Lebowski is just not right without "Fuck!"
Neither are any of the Die Hard movies, but they are not anywhere near as worth watching as the Dude.

8. I watched Mallrats on ABC years ago
Funnier than the real version...

For obvious reasons.

7. Worst edit I've seen, "Smokey and the Bandit 2."
Jackie Gleason's lines were hilarious, but a little too salty for TV.

9. Sorry, but Universal HD's version of "The Usual Suspects" takes the cake.
The line, "Give me the fucking keys you fucking cocksucking motherfucker." has become, and I swear this is true:

"Give me the freaking keys you fairy godmother brother."

Again, I am 100% serious about this.

11. Oh yeah, I just LOVED that!
They cut that film to ribbons. It was horrifying and hilarious at the same time.
