A wise move. I try and watch as broad a selection of films as possible as you can't criticise something unless you've seen it so I'm now entitled to pour as much vitriol on Sex and the City as I want!

This, of course, is not the view taken by those who drew up and passed the VRA in 1984 as they hadn't seen all the films (including New York Ripper) they were about to declare obscene and ban.

For those of you who want to discuss film in a more academic light (as I've seen some on this thread) check out our new section, Cult 101!

I'm enjoying this discussion. Keep it up guys and gals.

Me too - that's why I moved it here! Think it deserved a thread in its own right!

I too think Fulci must have had a chuckle at the shitstorm he created.....especially with the UK censors.
Payment for hacking his zombie classics?

His intention may have been to tip them over the edge......
