In the original Newman riles the opposing goalie by yelling "Your wife's a Dyke ..." even uses the Dyke comment in the locker room when the team asks how he got him so riled.

Last night, "your wife's a Lesbian", doesn't seem like much, but I felt it lost a lot in the translation.

Whats your call ??

Should they fix up old movies like that, I'm even against the bleeping of the occasional naughty word, especially when it is used for effect and not to just have a naughty word in there.

Pelham 123 is an example of excess as in all versions every 3rd word is F...

Anyone changes a line from slapstick deserves a cheapshot with knuckles wrapped in foil...

Converting, or if you will perverting, language in music, film, or books in order to appease current trends in political correctness is a small step from censorship. Anyone doing it should be summarily fired and forced to work at McDonalds, there they can live the ebb and flow of modern speech patterns....



on a side note, whats with peachparts filtering expletives?? guess we must have abused the privilege....there goes my thread about ****ake mushrooms....

It is funny, does anybody realize that the people who espouse PC to the point of 'fixing' old movies - Winston Smith is hard at work! - are the direct descendants of the Victorian prudes who covered classical statues with fig leaves and put covers over 'suggestive' table legs.

I bet that PC police would be aghast at this comparison though, in fact they would be so angry that I would probably not be allo
