Thought that would get your attention...

Anyway, the Movie thread on the BA forum reminded me, when did EK stop censoring their movies? I can remember the likes of Bruce Willis calling people a 'mother flower' in action movies, which always made me smile. And the steamy scenes were always cut or at least edited so you couldn't see anything.

I watched Looper on my last flight, and there was a good minute or so of boobage on show. I actually felt quite embarrassed (not really) as my better half nudged and pointed it out.

So, is it anything goes these days?

:-)

I was on a DL flight (AMS-MSP) and watched "Caddy Shack" which has nudity, they didn't edit it out, I was surprised! They also have "Black Swan" and it is heavily edited.....

Dialogue was heavily edited as of a month or two ago... I attempted to watch some film with Adam Sandler in it... It probably was a poor movie to start with, but the dubbing of words much less offensive than 'flower' to take the earlier example were so frequent and poorly executed that I abandoned the attempt ten minutes in.

BA tend to show uncensored versions, but EK has always been cut in the past.

EK edited the peeing sound out of this scene so it makes no sense

Maybe because hearing water running makes you want to go to the bathroom and they didn't want to create a line to the bathroom????

Maybe off topic, but I just flew back today and was watching several episodes of Californication on my iPad. No-one looked disturbed (and even if they would... common what's the problem with a boob here and there. Half the population has them!)

I was on a train to London last year, and there was a guy watching hard core porn... at 7am.

Even I was shocked

Some time back, actually quite a while back, I did watch Chloe (the 2009 remake) on an SQ flight. Did not know what the movie was about before starting to watch it but it was definitely uncensored and, given I was in Y on an aisle seat so half of the plane saw what I was watching, quite embarrassing.

Quickly adds Chloe to my list of movies to watch...

About 2 years ago I was sitting in 2K on the A380. When my suite doors were open I had a pretty good view of what the guy in 1F was watching when his doors were open. I glanced over once and on his screen was a full blown sex scene, and you could clearly see the women's breasts jiggling as the man was... well I don't think I don't think I need to go any further then that. At first I thought he watching something on his hard drive, but at the top of the screen it said EMIRATES in big letter like it sometimes does when watching something on ICE. I was pretty surprised as I thought they would censor something like that.
On another occasion, about a year ago I was watching the latest Scream horror movie again on EK, and they showed the woman changing, and showed her bare breasts. But that's all. I definitely wasnt as surprised then as I was on the other occasion!
Anyway I guess EK doesn't censor all movies, but I haven't seen anything else like this recently so maybe they have started to censor movies.

See my first post.... Looper is uncensored.

Correction ALL the population has them, even some animals, where the difference lies, is some are more pronounced than others.

Always found the censored version of Blazing Saddles disspoining on EK, ALL of the funny bits had been cut, it's twue, it's twue !

Putting in a reminder to watch Looper tomorrow
