I came back from my anime society meeting to see one of my dormmates watching 1408 on TNT. I knew it's a bowdlerized version because 1) It's in pan-and-scam, 2) Cut for time to cram more adverts every 15 minutes, 3) Edited for content despite most people who watch TNT are 18-34.I asked him a few questions, here are his responses: >I don't mind>I don't mind more breaks>More power to them.He basically did not care. Why are American basic cable channels still bowdlerize movies to 4:3, edit content to be suitable for grandmothers, and to cram more advertisements than they actually need? They might as well scream to the viewer that you're not watching the real thing and get the dvd version and be done with it.
I found your problem.. you're watching movies on cable TV.
>>6971276>my anime society meetingYour what?
>>6971313I stopped watching movies on cable tv and broadcast television years ago.I attend an anime society in my college every Sunday.
I had a copy of American History X, watched it twice. Was not aware of the curb stomp.
>anime society meeting>actually thinks we're going to talk about anything other than that now
