The Departed
Jackie and I went to see 'The Departed' (Scorsese film with 'Leo' and Nicholson in it) at the cinema last night.
Unfortunately, and despite an 18 rating, the film appeared to have been sent to the local kindergarten to have most of the swearing dubbed over or edited out. Some of the dialogue was so messed up by the dubbing and cutting that I could't actually follow the conversation.
I give them 9/10 and a 'Good Effort' for editing out the F word (they missed a couple) but for the even worse C word they score a miserable 0/10! (maybe they don't know what it means or how offensive it is!!).
Funnily enough, the numerous (10 or so) graphic scenes of people being shot in the head or savagely beaten (complete with realistic quantities of blood being projected onto surrounding walls) were not censored at all!
