al dente

Now, i'm not a fan of heebeejeebee stuff as i get myself into a blind panic. To avoid watching any horror movie stuff, i, ahem, never watch them. Anyhow, at the moment on OSN comedy channel there's a trailer for Drag me to Hell.... or something like that. It is simply terrifying. TO begin with i thought it was going to be a comedy and i nearly lost my heart out of my mouth. Horrific.

What's with showing it on the Comedy channel at 8pm ???????? Is there no common sense or censorship anywhere here???

well if there's no sex or swearing, don't suppose they give a monkeys here...

I think you'll find it's only the trailer that's showing there - the actual movie is on another channel ("Action"?).

I know the one you're talking about- really disturbing- the one about the old lady who asks for a loan? Pity the small child who fixates on those images

Autonomy

As someone that works in that industry - sex or nudity (especially male butts) -will be banned. Swearing, drugs and violence are usually fine. Homosexuality (male) total no-no, lesbians - kind of tolerated (The Dean *thumbs up* .... oh I didn't mean *that*) ....

I've mentioned it on here numerous times. You will get extremely gory and violent films shown on the free-to-air channels at all times of the day, yet the slightest hint of a kiss will be cut out. Stupid.

The Dean

That's based on fact - she actually asked HSBC...........

and shiftdelete, it's not just the small child it's me! The images keep popping out. I've always been a person who gets petrifying nightmares, imagining a rotting witch lying next to me is doing me no favours..

we've been watching Masterchef Australia, they mute out the word Pork. But I can watch Game Of Thrones, and there's tits all over the place. Mad I tell you!

I remember the TV was on when my boy was around 5 and it was 2pm in the afternoon...

...it went onto the cartoon channel after I heard the third F-word

Censorship here is basically an extension of their obsession with sex rather than constructive efforts to prevent young minds from seeing things that cannot yet put into context.

I remember friend went to see The Hills Have Eyes with his wife (they are horror fans) in Abu Dhabi mall around 11pm when it came out a few years ago but left because the baby crying in the front row spoiled their enjoyment of the film!

SPeaking of which, OSN had 'Piranha' on the other night, Kittycat mentioned I might like it.

It's basically lots of naked girls, including our own Kelly Brook running around naked. Then getting eaten.

It was superb.
