So, I'm sitting here watching Back to the Future on ABC Family and I'm paying attention to all the editing for television (a.k.a. butchering) they've done to the film...
"Jesus Christ, Doc, you disintegrated Einstein!" is now...
"Geez Louise, Doc, you disintegrated Einstein!"
I can sit through those seemingly meaningless edits...that's fine...
The one that really got me, however, was this...
When Marty writes the letter to Doc telling him he'll be shot, they've removed the reference to them being terrorists...
"On the night I go back to the future, you will be shot ---- Please take..." Etc. etc.
It should be "you will be shot by terrorists."
In fact, they've almost completely cut the Libyans from the film save for a minute or two in the beginning when Marty is trying to run from them in the DeLorean...
"Oh my God, they found me. I don't know how, but they found me."
"Who?! WHO?!"
"Who do you think? The Libyans!"
Cut to:
Marty in the DeLorean driving around the parking lot trying to out run them.
They completely cut out Doc getting shot....
Now, I understand the current world climate, but isn't that exactly what they want us to do? Change how we live because we're "afraid"?
Well, that's bullshit....
I can't believe what they've done to this movie for television...
Thank the Almighty for uncensored DVD....
Geez Louise....
