A lil late for a response to that - but I have to say that this DOES matter. Even though Shameless has gone through the effort of searching new material, the film is not intact in the sense Fulci wanted it to be. I find it despicable to censor movies and I hope that the BBFC will drop their medieval attitude towards certain things in the next couple of years.
I'd like to get a list of the new scenes (3 min + 15 sec) - coz to be honest: I can disclaim 15 seconds of "someone getting out of a car" when one of the key scenes from the movie has been trimmed to not upset the elderly.
P.S.: It was a tough decision to even get the Shameless DVD to complete my collection - but since it was cheap and since I have other, intact, versions of the film as well I did buy it. I'll definitely skip the Blu for now - maybe there will be a VERY good price at Amazon someday that I cannot refuse but getting movies in the way/version they were intended to be and not in the way some guy I don't give a crap about thinks I should see it.
