If you want extreme cinema then you have to look to the independants nowadays and with that comes sever budgetary constraints, poor fx and all the rest of it. It's a vicious circle that doesn't improve, only worsens as people decide that that is acceptable to them and the cutting of an art form is okey-dokey. If you get annoyed about it then very quickly so called film fans will whine and moan that it is so much better than 30 years ago and you should shut up. Censorship seems the new way..... |

Those stalwart bastions of our decency and morals have protected us again, God bless them all... House on the Hill. Passed 18 for strong violence, sexual violence after 7:12s of BBFC compulsory cuts .... 7 MINUTES...... of course Cuts required in line with BBFC Guidelines, policy and the Video Recordings Act 1984. Which in plain English says that there are no laws being used here, only guidelines that are interpreted by individuals..... The Inbetweeners 2. 20 minutes.... Really? Oh yes, but remember IT'S NOT THE FAULT OF THE BBFC.... They offered them an uncut 18 but THE COMPANY refused the rating...It doesn't matter that the BBFC have ridiculous and unexplainable criteria regarding what a 17 year old can hear and an 18....... BBFC commented: This film was previously seen for advice. The company was advised the film was likely to be classified 18 but that their preferred 15 could be achieved by making reductions to two scenes involving crude humour. Maybe the cut scenes tried to find their way back on to the disk as Deleted Scenes. But the BBFC were having none of it. The DVD/Blu-ray extra entitled Deleted Scenes was cut by 19m 54s. Yeah, because when you are only 17 if you hear the word **** more than 7 times in a film you will turn into a hooligan....or some such thing... Gun Woman. 5 seconds.. apparently has been edited because.....Cut required to remove focus on a man's pleasure in the context of sexual violence. OMG!! We can't have that!! No, I say! If he is doing sexual violence on a woman we cannot see gratification on his face! No, he must be sad...or angry...or confused...or crying...anything - but not happy! Cut it out! Cut it out now! ...oh, they already have! Phew! Found. Apparently the version submitted to the BBFC was already shorn of 99 seconds. Found (Comparison: BBFC 18 - Unrated) - Movie-Censorship.com |

The BBFC is probably the most transparent ratings board in the world and, as you said, it was up to the distributor to decide whether to release it with an 18 or 15 certificate. They chose the latter. In this case, it isn't the BBFC who is 'censoring' the film, but Entertainment Film Distributors chose money over the director's intentions and pre-cut the film. I have no doubt that 14-year-olds will see the film (as would 17-year-olds if it was rated 18) and not be harmed by the crude humour and swear words – hopefully they won't take to 'logging' in public pools – but the BBFC have a legal job to do and do it more leniently than ever before.

In case you're under the impression that behaviour seen in films isn't imitable, there were several stories like this (from the Metro) only recently: Quote:

Pretty pointless to release a film with over 7 minutes of cuts. And what could have justified such an OTT response from the BBFC when they're passing notorious films like Nekromantik fully uncut? Even the original I Spit on Your Grave got off more lightly. |

Exactly what I always say. A buch of middle/upper class people interpreting the law and making up a set of nonsensical guidelines based on their on moral superiority and deciding what's in the best interests if the rest of us (the working class), and keeping us in our place.

From the melonfarmers site. Surely this has to be a mistake regarding the deleted scenes on The Inbetweeners 2? If not, WTF!!!!! ImageUploadedByTapatalk1417820372.051075.jpg

That wouldn't even be covered by the new rules about content of pornographic films, because that decision was made before The Inbetweeners 2 was released in cinemas.
