Ew. Ewewewewew. Ew!

Clean films is a company that edits movies for "offensive content". From the site:

We take out profanity and other offensive language. We also remove nudity, sexual situations, and extreme or gory violence. Our intent is to edit movies so that they become comparable to a PG rating, which often means that we will edit out content that the networks might leave in when they show the same movie on TV.

They offer movies like Zoolander, Gangs of New York, Enemy At The Gates, and Braveheart.

Let's see...weren't Gangs of New York & Braveheart three hour movies? They'll probably each be about twenty minutes long when the cleansing is done.

I'm *really* tempted to do the free trial thing and get Braveheart, just to see how bad it is. But, I think I'll be able to restrain myself.:)

Also from the site:

The motion picture studios, directors, and producers of the unedited version were not involved in the creation of the content-edited version contained on CleanFilms DVD’s. Accordingly, the content-edited version of the movies which CleanFilms carries may not reflect the intent of the motion picture studios, directors, and producers.

In other words, "we've probably changed the movies completely and they're probably really hard to follow now that we've taken out so much, but every time you say fuck it makes the baby Jesus cry, so suck it up and move on".

But, there are some they won't edit. Again, from the site:

Q.

Are there any movies that you won't offer as E-Rated rentals?
A.

Yes. There are some movies that we will not have edited or offer for rental due to the overall theme or number of required edits. This includes:

Addicted To Love
American History X
Analyze This
Basic Instinct
Blair Witch Project
Caddyshack
Election
Eyes Wide Shut
Gross Pointe Blank
Hannibal
Liar Liar
Payback
Pretty Woman
Primary Colors
Return Of The Dragon
Rounders
Show Girls
Silence of the Lambs
The Story Of Us


The Story Of Us? It's the story of two people who've been married for fifteen years, break up, live apart while their kids are in summer camp and then decide that they do want to be together after all.

That movie need too much editing for their purposes, but Braveheart and Gangs Of New York worked out okay?

What flavor crack are these people *on*?

*Edited to fix links. Everything should work now*
*Edited to remove IMDB links, 'cause things are acting odd*
