"Midnight Run"...an F-bomb every 30 seconds, now edited for TV |
|
"Midnight Run" is on A&E tonight at 9:00. I've seen the Turner stations' whitewashed version of this...they dubbed a lot of "hecks" and "darns" over the vocal track, which seemed to have a "George Carlin 7 Words You Can't Say On TV" word every 30 seconds or so.
No idea how A&E will handle it, but it might be worth a laugh:
Midnight Run (1988) A&E Jan 02 09:00pm Movies, 180 Mins. ***+ (Rated R)
A scruffy bounty hunter has five days to bring a fussy embezzler from New York to Los Angeles.
Cast: Robert De Niro, Charles Grodin, Yaphet Kotto, John Ashton, Dennis Farina, Joe Pantoliano, Wendy Phillips, Richard Foronjy.

2. I own that movie so everytime it's on cable |
|
I can put the tape in and watch it un cut .
I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to watch it chopped to bits .

5. Interestingly, while "Midnight Run" is on right now, I am |
|
half-watching just "Midnight", starring Don Ameche and Claudette Colbert.

6. Well, both RAGING BULL and THE EXORCIST made it to broadcast TV. |
|
Imagine the editing jobs they had to do on those films!

7. Turner is the worst for that. |
|
In Dumb and Dumber, they just CUT the entire bathroom scene...didn't even show it.

I bothered to watch it, because I do have that movie on DVD.
