I think part of the reason with giving up on censorship was when warner gave The Exorcist a wide release the response from people not old enough or unborn to see it before was "is that it? that's the scariest, most horrific film? wtf they talking about?"
I mean i went in 98 to see it when i was 16 and while i enjoyed it and thought the "let jesus....." moment shocking that it was a fuss over nothing, i did laugh at some of the insults. I mean I thought the end to Raiders of The Lost Ark was more scary than anything in The Exoricst.
Still good movie though.
