I think americans are nuts, well some of them are anyway.
Like now they are going to ban the portrayal of people smoking cigarettes in movies, i guess that that will mean that the entire back catalog of film noir movies from the fifties will be cut down to beginning and end sequences with nothing in between.
Can you even visualise Humphrey Bogarde without a cigarette between his lips? I cant.
Maybe using the wonders of Photoshop they can erase the cigarettes from those old movies, hell, they might even replace them with something else, like carrots for instance..
Do you know what movies are suffering the worst edits and cuts at the moment? If you guessed horror movies then no, you are wrong.
Old westerns are being cut to shreds, its like, here come the indians, bang bang, its over..
You see in old westerns the horses would get tripped up to look like they had been shot and now due to rules about not portraying cruelty to animals these scenes have been removed..
In a few years scenes with people smoking will also have been removed, probably followed by drinking and the use of drugs in movies, swearing will follow as of course all nudity, racist slurs, violence etc.
And in a few years all we will have left is watered down Hallmark movies thanks to the right thinking people at the US board of censors.
Its gonna be 1984 but for real this time, enjoy sex and violence while you can, oh, and smoking of course..
