@Big

Did they just pull you in from the street after you bought it lol, can you explain how you came to be in court?

Other then that it's brilliant news that CH is getting an official release with just 15 seconds gone. Do you think that the BBFC think oh god not this film again im sick of seeing it. Bring something else in for a change

Cool amazing news

this is nothing short of staggering, wonder if they took the stance that the film maker stated that the muskrat was killed for no reason, unlike the turtle,monkey and pig that were to be killed and eaten anyway, surely this means other stuff can now be submitted, just realized that makes me sound ghoulish, just that I went thru the 80's VRA cut and ban everything in sight, so anything that pushes that into history is fine by me, still feel sorry for the turtle tho, and I did say on another thread I would back flip and swim the channel under water if just the muskrat scene would be trimmed, so as i back flip my way to dover a rousing thank you to Shameless, tho the tabloids will have a pop, who cares...we'll be watching easily deodato's best film, really great news, now wheres my trunks?

1990 - found guilty of trading in obscene publications, namely videotapes.

It was a very different time. I was on trial - and pleaded guilty. But then my films were on trial under Section 3, and I either got them back or they got forfeited. Being a student I got legal aid, so I defended them all the way to Crown Court. Funniest memory was watching The Worm Eaters with the judge scratching his head - the police had selected that tape as "particularly obscene". I'm sure they meant the movie on the end which I think was an Italian mondo which never got watched.

I cannot believe CH - which gave me a lot of grief at the time - is now going to be so widely available virtually uncut. Amazing!

I bet that's a great story for parties and public film screenings, bigandya. If I had a criminal record, I'd like it to be something as weird, wonderful and interesting is that!

What looks do you get when potential employers ask if you have a criminal record or when they look at the detail as you've put on the application form?

You know, I've told my friends that I would happily go to court and defend horror films if the powers that be tried to ban modern movies, like Mark Kermode predicts will probably happen again one day. I'd easily win, I have the ultimate weapon... Video Nasties: Moral Panic, Censorship and Videotape !

When I saw the Cult Labs post on Facebook, I thought it was passed uncut, but considering the audio will be intact but the sequence will be replaced by alternative footage, it reminds me of the pre-release version of Caligula.

It's a great move forward in terms of film classification, but we have a long way to go yet. Still, I'll probably buy this!

Monumental to say the least. Congrats to everyone involved

Well spank my ass and call me Judy! This is truly astounding news. I think a lot of people were very skepitcal about the film only recieving 14/15 secs of cuts, but amazingly it's happened.

That's a new one to me. I much prefer Lt George from Blackadder Goes Forth: 'Well, cover me in eggs and flour and bake me for 40 minutes!'
