1. You must be watching it now.
Hahaha, so am i as painfull as it is. Sadly i am just so burnt out on all this holiday programing, it just the only thing on.

I aslo wonder why i feel the need to watch an edited movie on, when i have the dvd? For some reason we do it all the time around here.

2. I Imagine that if it's edited for language,...
...the movie will be about 12 minutes long. Maybe 17!

3. I enjoy that movie, too!
Long time ago it was the first movie I watched on a "good" tv.

I really despise Joe Pesci tho.

5. Editing films for TV really pisses me off
Thankfully British TV has grown some balls and we don't get the ludicrous overdubbing of swear words (eg. "Melon Farmer" for "Motherfucker") or scenes made nonsensical by the editing of key violent moments.

6. "Did you tell Ace to go stuff himself?!!"
:rofl:

We watched that last night too. The edits were pretty ridiculous. But still, it's a great movie.

8. I only watch unedited Scorcese films
That includes Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, and Raging Bull. Censoring them to make them suitable for kids seems rather counterproductive since they all deal with very adult issues to begin with.
