Does that mean I cannot believe anything that anyone on Cult-Labs says?

Yup!

Just listen to Rik and myself and you won't go wrong.

In reading the article, people were complaining that Suicide Squad was a 15 cert and therefore they couldn't take their kids to it which is the exact opposite of the other complaints

All in all, the article was a bit of rubbish and easily forgettable.

And now you admit to not having seen the film. As bad as gag commenting on films and tv he hasn't seen.

Cough cough excuse me I do tend to watch or at least attempt before I comment eg Transformers I've seen first one and bits of others and that's enough for me
And I don't really comment on TV because rarely watch it .
And suicide squad just not my scene that's why I don't comment on films like this .

I've spotted the deliberate mistake. Do I win a prize?

As most civilians I meet now have these perishing 'firesticks'
I can sort of see where this 'confusion' arises. I was really happy that Miss Peregrine was slightly darker in tone than his last few ... but this is a selfish non breeder attitude
Wouldn't surprise me that the same people complain about that perishing PC brigade
Can't have it both ways folks!!! Unrestrained CP and autopsy footage on CBBC or endless gardening shows

CIVVIES
I SHIT EM

Even Disney cartoons were subject to censorship, and considered not as 'family-friendly' as they are now!

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) | British Board of Film Classification

"On its initial cinema release in 1938, the film was classified at A uncut (requiring under 16s to be accompanied by an adult). At the time, some scenes in the film were considered too scary for the U category"

I'm sure I mentioned this before, but I saw a presentation by a BBFC senior examiner and he used the forest seen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to show how you can take something out of context and show how it is utterly terrifying. If you put it back into the film and demonstrate the sequence has a happy/calming ending, the threat is not sustained, hence why the certification was lowered.

I read an article about early screenings of the film where all the seats where children had been present were distinctly soggy due to bladders being emptied, necessitating the seats being replaced after every showing!

It would appear that 'The Silence Of The Lambs' is being re-released to cinemas, but the BBFC have reclassified it as a '15' instead of the '18' it used to be

THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS | British Board of Film Classification - open the tab named 'Related Work'

Hope it’s showing near me, I was 12 when it first came out and had to resort to a VHS pirate copy that was filmed with a potato
