Happy feet airing in full Cinemascope.

Skyfall, showing on ITV2 for the 1st time in OAR. It's good to see that ITV have got new prints of the Bond films, and decided to show them this way for the 1st ime ever.

ITV edit nearly every film they screen, even post watershed.
Getting the SkyFall in the OAR would mean they got a new print and yet, i guarantee they still cut the f-bomb from M out and cut some of the violence too! I will see when they're next screening it and watch it, (As painful as that will be to watch an ITV-hacked film) and see. |

Inside Man has always been cut, the single use of the c-word directed towards Jolie Fosters character by the mayor. Not in an aggressive way as it classified 15.
It's been shown numerous times on itv and well after the 9pm watershed |

I'd say BBC's print of How the West Was Won is currently is widest OAR that's broadcast. Watching it really requires all the lights to be switched off and to sit about 3 feet from the screen!

Well done ITV in finally obtaining new prints for the Bond films. The F bomb was cut from sky Skyfall as it was shown at 8pm so as it was pre-watershed starting the swearing after the watershed must abide by the rules. Hopefully this new practice of showing films OAR is a permanent one for ITV.

Casino Royale now on ITV 2 in OAR.
The F word is near the end and spoken by Judi Dench. Apparently if the film or programme starts before the watershed then the whole thing must abide by the rules that would be in place at its start time. So no violence or strong language. |

II rarely watch a film on ITV anyway, given their lack of DD5.1 (same with C5) but please name a post-watershed film from the past few years that has been cut, and with examples. You're just speculating with Skyfall.
Films shown post-9pm ITV still cut - Shawn Of The Dead, they hacked out the line where he asks of any of you c***s would like a drink, the scene before it sets up that line and its a great comedic part! They also have cut various parts out of violence! American Pie, edited the language used in the first parts of the film and dubbed over some of the f-words to 'idiots' and 'ass' Bond films in a whole host of places! SkyFall the f-bomb M drops when she said "I f****d this up haven't i" despite it again being a rather important part of the film as she is showing her utter despair at the fact they're about to go into one hell of a battle at the house! Various parts of the violence are cut too, for no apparent reason as they're not overly graphic, remember Bond films go for BBFC 12 ratings, its not like its an 18. I could go on, but they hack the films out all of the time, pre & post watershed, for no reason! |

I knew that with Spectre anyway, but then again, at 2.5hrs, I'd happily have chopped at least 30-40 mins out of it! |

Yes, they have.On the Blu Ray being 15, its not always the film that is either re-edited to include cut scenes resulting in a higher certificate but that the extra's also have to be BBFC rated, and they can result in higher rating than the actual film for various reasons and its the higher rating that must be labelled on the box. Cinema's usually don't get full fat version of alot of films. You get the 'bigger, longer, uncut, uncensored, extended, harder' editions released for home entertainment and SVOD. Distributors don't typically send the theatrical version out to broadcasters either if there is a second 'edit' that is longer or 'harder'. Unfortunately the reason they do that is so broadcasters can then decide what to hack from it but a number of studios are now demanding details of what is cut from a film and why and must be approved. Personally i think the act of cutting a film for TV should be ended and banned under OFCOM rules IMHO but, never going to happen! |

I thought they got the theatrical version by default. It's a shame when C4 could show a 15-rated Hunger Games, but get the 12-rated one, for example. And when they got the new Evil Dead uncut, that was a one-time thing ![]() Quote:

Sadly, Ofcom are more toothless than a group of 200-year-old pensioners.

Ah, I'll have to look them up individually. I see Goldeneye and Casino Royale are 15-proper, but then again, I just reviewed Sausage Party. 15-rated film, but 18-rated extras, so a big '18' on the cover. Very sneaky!

Darllas Buyer's Club
Just watched my recording of this from C5 on Christmas Day. Very strange scheduling but they did show it in OAR.
Unfortunately, last night they screened Reservoir Dogs in 4:3. |

They have the last 3 in OAR when they premiered No.6. Why Warner didn't replace the 16:9 prints, god only knows. Or maybe they offered, but I've had an email from ITV, previously, when they said their film dept prefers 16:9 where possible "because that's what people expect". I told them their film dept was depriving a village of an idiot.
LOL!

"While watching your favourite TV programme, the Unique Smart formatting technology can automatically adapt any content to the 21:9 screen".
Not sure who would want to stretch old 4:3 shows into super widescreen. They would be unwatchable. I'm amazed all the major broadcasters do it, people must have doll's eyes. |
