Well you're not going to turn the volume up every time punches are thrown or whatever are you, that's just stupid.

True.

I saw a clip for The Da Vinci Code last night on Jonathan Ross and I'm sure that's not her proper accent. It doesn't sound Anglicised per say but it certainly doesn't soujnd French either :shock:

I wonder if this means we'll see Mr. Tatou (pronounced Totou apparently) in my Hollywood films.

It's self-censorship in that the distributor has chosen to make advisory cuts.

As the film is American it probably won't affect non-UK editions unless the MPAA had similar problems.

In the US, Da Vinci is rated PG-13.

It's not cut.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 14 May 2006, 19:12

It is. Even if its pre cut.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 14 May 2006, 19:43

Changing the sound on the audio isn't cutting a film. Check a dictionary for what the word means

. Altered yes cut no.

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 14 May 2006, 20:25

Agreed, it's not cut, but censored, or altered as you say.

It's aurally self-censored.

Geez, Audrey Tatties looks like Ruth Kelly in that photo!

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 17 May 2006, 20:55

I know she almost looks like a geezer. Weird as she's normally really attractive.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 17 May 2006, 21:48

Don't like Audrey's boyish haircut

Pakistan Bans 'Da Vinci Code' for 'Blasphemous' Material About Jesus

Although the film has not been screened in any theater in mostly-Muslim Pakistan, authorities decided to ban it out of respect for the feelings of the country's minority Christians.

Thank you, generous hosts. Blasphemy shouldn't be spread about our Lord, Jesus Christ.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 04 Jun 2006, 10:19

Isn't that nice of them? He he he! They banned it for the minority of the Christians living there. Thank you, lol, oh my sympathising Pakistani government.

Seriously, though... I suppose you don't know that Jesus plays a big role in Islam, too. A whole episode is dedicated to him in the Qur'an. He is a prophet whom we pay deference to as well. We just don't believe he was crucified.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 04 Jun 2006, 10:43

LOL it's a surprise that the film is "Blasphemous", surely a precredits warning would be more appropriate? So Christians and non-Christians can actually see it to give their opinion.

Who are you talking to? Because I know that.

Morgan Spurlock mentioned it in one of the "30 Days" episodes: http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0437696/

I guess they've assumed Christians would be pissed off more than Muslims by the film.

Why do you hate Jesus?

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 04 Jun 2006, 11:36

I was talking to Eva, because his remark sounded sarcastic.

And who hates Jesus here?

I do. If he hadnt gone around proclaiming to be the son of God and all that shit, perhaps alot of the wars of the past, present and future wouldnt have happened.
then again, humanity is stupid enough to have found other reasons for killing eachother.

Yeah, I know that elements of Judaism and Christianity were integrated into the Islamic teachings by Muhammad.

Sorry if I'm a little late but I just found out about the whole BBFC alteration thing. I'm actually somewhat shocked.

I second that.

On a related note, Ron Howard is only an average director and A Beautiful Mind sucks massive balls.
