I will still buy the Arrow BD of Inferno, to support the company.
However, as I mentioned some posts back, this decision will affect sales / income and possible new releases. I agree the cut doesn't destroy the film in the same way as the scissor - happy BBFC from years ago, but it's still a desperately stupid decision. Indeed, the fact that Almar will soon be posting the 'offending' scene online only further proves what a waste of time censoring 18 rated movies has become.
It'll be interesting to hear what replies people get back from the BBFC. I emailed them some time ago about their ( again ridiculous ) cutting of 16 (?) seconds from Tombs Of The Blind Dead. I did get a polite response full of defensive drivel. I guess you'll get the same.
