I've missed out on this thread before, but add me to the pile of people who doesn't like the cut of Three Billboards. At first I thought the censoring was actually part of the movie and a nod to Battlestar Galactica's swear words.

I started watching it on UA and finished it on NH. Same cut. I chalked it up to *A putting it like that on all of their flights.

I quit the movie after five minutes. Ridiculous.

I saw Three Billboards on the big screen when it was released - after the movie, my only criticism was the amount of swearing - I thought it was a little excessive.

I watched it again last week on an aeroplane and the censorship with over dubbing profanity with other words was definitely worse than the original with a lot of swearing - give me the original any day.

I might have mentioned this upthread, so forgive my senior moment, but I remember going to school in Melbourne FL during the late 80s which received its TV broadcasts from the nearby Orlando stations, and those stations would censor everything - and I mean everything. Even the word 'damn' was off-limits, and quite often 'darn' would be censored too - by the time they finished cleaning up the weekly Golden Girls episodes, Blanche looked and sounded like a Baptist school teacher.

On an airplane, especially in business class, with a system that supposedly includes parental controls which block certain content, and given only the language is censored, not the violence, I am still trying to figure out the purpose of censoring the audio channel - but it sure reminds me of that obnoxious Orlando attitude from back then.
