I think it depends on the culture as well. Here we condone the violent movies, yet most movies involving sex, or heaven forbid a MALE full frontal (sorry, but I'm for equal opportunity full frontals) are edited for the US.

Back in 1987 and 1988, I studied overseas in Stockholm, Sweden. I went to a bunch of movie openings (which were a HUGE deal over there). There were many violent films banned in Sweden. Robocop, for example. We saw that on a bootleg tape. Other violent films were edited and you missed about 45 mins. of the film.

Sex films, on the other hand, were not edited. I watched Angel Heart over there, with Lisa Bonet, and holy cow!!! I saw scenes that we did not have in it over here when I saw it later at home.


I'm not saying I think we should have more sex or more violent films, just saying how cultures differ. I do think that if there are going to be sex scenes, and they are showing the body nude, they should give equal opportunity to both male and female. Sorry, but it pisses me off that they will show almost every part of a woman's body, yet heaven forbid they dip below the navel on a man. What is that all about?! OOOH... we'll just get soooo turned on, we won't know what to do with ourselves or what? Do they think women are too delicate to see that, or is it just that they like to objectify women? It so annoys me.

I am not a big fan of scary movies. I live alone, and those movies freak me out. I get nightmares like crazy even with silly shows sometimes. Ever watch "Taboo" on Nat. Geo?? Holy crap, some of that stuff is just crazy! Still gives me nightmares with some of the freaky stuff, and the stuff they eat makes me sick to my stomach usually.
