That’s really interesting though - to see that the BBFC still has teeth. And their reasoning - that the film includes a genuine criminal act.

Yep, I like that they still have a bite to them. Remember that the C does not stand for Censorship, as a lot people think, but for Classification.

So has it never had a release in the UK before?

The quote from the BBFC in the story implies it had to be cut on previous release as well.

Ahh this makes sense.

Tbh, I think Cameron’s stance seems a bit pointless since it’s not a situation where someone at the BBFC has been put in a situation where they need to make a somewhat subjective judgement on how to apply the guidelines in a borderline case. It’s very black and white that they cannot classify the film without cuts and the government would have to pass primary legislation for the film to be released without cuts.

Drowning a rat is crucial to the plot, and the film falls apart without it, so you cannot cut it under any circumstances. Except when it is being released in cinemas in 1989 and 1993. And on home video in 1990, 1992 and 1993. But apart from that, you can't cut it.

Yep, I should have clarified that. Weird that I didn't understand The Abyss without the rat.

Not sure if anyone knows but can you sell blu rays in the UK that aren't classified? Or you need a classification to be able to actually sell it?
Just wondering if the result is similar to how some movies are Unrated in the USA and so can only be shown in certain cinemas or some cinemas won't show it and so the studios make the filmmakers cut stuff down to get a rating which will allow a wider release.

I've ever only seen the regular version of the Abyss and a very long time ago. Can't say I'd be overly keen to see a rat having a bad time though. 
Similar to never needing to see Cannibal Holocaust again because of the animal stuff, although I think they've even released a non-animal version of that film.

Thankyou Let Me Google That For You.

It was ok. Hugh Grand steals the show and my son absolutely loved it and declared it the best movie ever but he’s 8 and loves the whole magic of visiting the cinema. For me I thought the first 45 mins where a bit dull (although and least Neil from divine comedy hasn’t shat out anything as turgid as minchin managed for Matilda ) but it had a couple of laugh out loud moments.

Unfortunately been pushed back for some more work to be done on it. No date as of now. Godzilla x Kong filling the spot now at least

Shame but gives me time to read the book!  Also, I am mildly sceptical about it.  Asian directors doing Hollywood just doesn't have a good track record.

Exciting times ahead on the spreadsheet front.

Some of the greatest modern musical tunes written - shat out. Lol. Have a word with yourself!

Had a quick look and now I know Coyote Vs Acme a) was a thing and b) is no longer a thing. Sounded like it was/is pretty good too.

Looks likely that another studio or streaming service will pick it up. It was fully completed and testing well so seems a proper stupid move to bin it forever.
Sad state of affairs that a movie disappearing forever is a thing we have to talk about today

Yeah, I thought Matilda was generally thought of as the best new(ish) musical for quite some time?

My wife made a pointed comment that I should probably try to enjoy them more because of this
