"UNCUT" movies on TV piss me off

[Guest JumpinJackFlash]

I'm sick of this shit. Stupid people on Spike TV and USA say they're going to show something uncut, and its edited. What the hell is up with this? Scarface was going to be shown "uncut" on USA tonight, but it was edited. Its just plain stupid trying to watch edited Scarface.

 

ex: Shut the ____ up you mother _____!

 

Shut the up your mother?! That doesn't make any sense. And what's worse is when Spike TV says they're going to show Star Trek uncut. Hello? Dumbasses! Star Trek debuted on TV, so it had to be made for TV viewing, so of course its going to be uncut. Its like showing the Care Bears uncut. Plus, it's not uncut since its not in its original aspect ration and it has commercials in between. Everyone, if you want to see UNCUT movies, watch Turner Classic Movies. Its one of my favorite channels.

 

I feel that Spike TV thinks we're stupid. Them saying its UNCUT, and showing it edited, but making us believe its UNCUT is just a big FUCK YOU to all those who contribute to their ratings.

 

Spike TV claims to be the first network for men, but actually they're the first network for pussy executives.

 

I just want to storm raid Spike TV and punch everyone in the face!

 

Who's with me?

Just calm down and buy Scarface on DVD. Really.

Have you HEARD the mouth on that lion?

Its an improvement considering what USA did to the FRIDAY movie. Chris Tucker got edited the Heck Up MAN~

Shows will get cut in syndication. The Simpsons is probably most notable for this, but it happens in other shows too.

[Guest Sturgis]

Let's explain the difference between uncut and UNCENSORED

 

Uncut: The movie in it's entirity. Every scene is shown no matter of its unimportance or nature. Remember movies on TV have to be cut due to time restraints, so they cut unimportant or graphic scenes out.

 

UnCENSORED: All swear words will be said without editing. Fuck, Shit, Goddamn, Pussy, Asshole, etc.

 

 

This is also a way to get ratings sense some can't tell the difference.

I wanted to throw in to say that Sturgis' explanation is correct. Uncut simply means that no scened have been left out. As mentioned, both Star Trek and the Simpsons have horribly cut versions in syndication as do most shows. The idea is that you can cram more commercials in with less show and make more money. For movies, they are mostly cut so they will fit in neat two hour blocks. In fact, some films have scenes added to stretch them out and some films have different scenes shown on television taking the place of what was shown in the theater do to either content or length.

only uncensored movie I've seen on reg TV/Cable was SouthPark movie, but they had to wait till like 1 in the morning to air it.

I would like to throw in to say that they aren't exactly "cut" but sped up during non-talking points to cut off a few seconds here and there.

That's extremely rare from what I've heard and hard to figure out as it alters the running time and can cause the core of the film to be disjointed. I can't site a specific example of a film that does this on regular t.v., but would like to know of one. Many sites, such as imdb, lists the differences between versions and note what scenes or parts of scenes are cut completely or edited down. Mostly, it's cutting parts out.

TV shows is what I am talking about.

 

Watch ST:TNG on Spike.

My problem with the UNCUT movies is the fact they just have silence over the swears. It is much more fun to listen to edited dialogue, than listen to blank spots.

This is why I love CityTV. Showcase, too.

piss off fucker

[Guest El Satanico]

I find it funny that someone would bother with Scarface on a non pay channel.

 

I also find it funny that someone would believe that fucking Scarface would be uncensored on a non pay channel.

[JHawk 0]

I can't say I disagree with JumpinJackFlash here. It's grossly and intentionally misleading.

 

However, if the swearing was silenced, then didn't they technically cut something out of the show?

 

Still, stick with the DVD version.

[Guest El Satanico]

No it's still part of the movie...it's just muted

 

Anyone who honestly believes Scarface won't have censored language on Cable, deserves to be misled.

The worst is the editing with Dumb and Dumber on TBS. They cut out Jeff Daniels line "We called it a bull-shits" before he starts laughing hysterically. Instead we get:

 

Daniels: We're gonna specialize in dog breeding.

 

Holly: Oh, any unsual breeds?

 

Daniels: Well we once sucessfully bred a Bulldog and a Shitzu

 

*cue hysterical laughing WITHOUT the "bull-shits" line*

It seems like TBS and TNT are the worst when it comes to editing movies, although if I want to see a movie, I pop in a DVD...

Yippee-Ki-Yay Mister Falcon

 

I am surprised SpikeTV hasn't tried what Comedy Central did over the summer with South Park. It seems like the perfect marketing plan, for what they are going after.

[Guest El Satanico]

Being under the CBS umbrella may be why SpikeTV doesn't do like Comedy Central did with South Park: BL&U.

[Guest Fook]

This is why I love CityTV. Showcase, too.

Amen to that

[Guest JMA]

Anyone see the edited version of Weird Science today on Comedy Central?

 

"Air-head."

 

"Goof off."

 

"Kicked me in the guts."

Damn, you stole my post.

 

They aired the Shining a few weeks ago, and they only had to wait until 9 to uncensor it. Same with Fight Club.

 

Damn, they always have great movies. Tomorrow, Breakfast Club at 4 pm. Awesome.

Was Fight Club stretched out vertically to fit the whole screen? It sure looked like it.

TBS version

Harry: "You just tell me where to sign, pal."

Lloyd: "Right on my SANDWICH after you kiss it!"

Has anyone seen the FX version of American Pie? The voice overs are horrible...

 

Real: Shit break

TV: Stink break

 

Real: There is a gorgeous woman masturbating on my bed

TV: (while mouthing the same line) Jackpot!

 

Or Die Hard w/a Vengeance

 

Real: I hate Niggers

TV: I hate everyone (come on, couldn't they get away with saying blacks or African Americans?)
