Well it looks like Sony are charging headlong into the field of buggering up their back catalogue with 'clean', 'family friendly' versions of some of their existing films.  Banghead

Well...

I never watch a movie on an aeroplane for that very reason... all movies on 'planes have to be restricted so that any kid with a TV screen in front of them for five hours or more can watch them. I always take my own movies on a pad to watch on the plane...

And there clearly is a market for such films. Our very good Mormon friends decided (after years of having known them) that they could only watch movies that were below PG rating... Which was a bit of a shame as we'd just set up the LaserDisc of Four Weddings on the minema, the dialogue of the first few minutes (which seemed like a billionteen hours at the time) consists of, "FUCK!"... facepalm:

It's the list of films that seems so ridiculous, I can sort of see a point to Elysium although it may bugger up the plot but Ghostbusters 1 and 2 were kids films already for crying out loud.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say that Sony isn't the studio looking to make a Duke Nukem film..  lol:

For want of anything faintly entertaining on hotel tv I am watching a stock room DVD... 
Swallows and Amazons ...and I think I am already regretting that statement.  redface:
