As for cuts to NYR, I was just surprised it was passed at all considering its troubled history - but I still didn't agree with the cuts and never will and I never have.

Would you prefer it if they did? Just curious. Incidentally I Spit On Your Grave is covered by both the VRA and the OPA. The BBFC will classify the film according to these acts. |

Thanks fellas and if you've not done it already please write to the BBFC to express your anger at this. It can only help. That email again is: contact_the_bbfc@bbfc.co.uk In the meantime, let's keep trying to make these editions as magical as possible (even for those who could care less about extra goodies ) |

Yes, then they could be called consistent... amongst other things! |

The BBFC's response to a recent query about the application of the Animals Act to home releases was posted on WWDVD a few days ago.

Here is my email to the BBFC, although I feel like I am pissing against the wind: Hello there I'm just emailing you to say I am rather annoyed at your choice to cut the new Arrow release of Dario Argento's Inferno. I completely understand that you have to cut scenes of animal cruelty and in most cases I totally agree but all this is is a cat eating a mouse! It's a natural phenomenon, it's what cats do. You see a lot worse than this on David Attenborough programmes. Is it one rule for one director and one for another? I feel if Steven Spielberg or some other "respected" director had made this film it would have been left in. For instance if Dario Argento had made Apocalypse Now exactly the same way as Francis Ford Coppola would it have remained uncut or would the killing of the cow have been censored? I thought you had come along a long way in recent years, apparently I thought wrong. It's decisions like this that can sometimes make or break a company, Arrow have my full support in their releases but I have a principal not to buy films that have been censored by yourselves, I feel like I am getting cheated. Word will and has got about that this release will be cut and it will affect how many people purchase it. If companies sales are affected because their films are cut I find it rather sad, especially the fact that they have to pay your good selves a ridiculous amount of money for you to cut and potentially ruin their films for them.

I can't believe how fast this thread is moving; I've only been away a few hours and have messed about four pages! Just to put my two cents in about a few other subjects raised: I'm kind of an obsessive when it comes to extra features and will spend hours watching documentaries, listening to commentaries and reading booklets to find out as much as I can about a film I like. I don't think there's any harm at in writing to the BBFC and your MP to say how ridiculous the cut is and why the BBFC should not apply legislation to DVDs and BDs when it is meant to only cover films for public exhibition. I'm glad that Arrow are writing a letter as it may carry a little more weight than one written by your average viewer and, as they say, "every little helps"! The fourth panel is superb and really something worth including as it is so different from 'normal' artwork.

Me too. Often the extra features can be as interesting (and occasionally even more so) than the film itself. To have them on the disc, rather than just Play/Scene Selection, is a worthwhile bonus. |

The forth panel is very siminlar to the Italian poster I have! |
