Well the US Broadcast TV premiere was tonight (which came after PPV, cable then Spike!) was a complete butcher job. They took a film that's over 2 hours long and squeezed it into a 2:30 slot and gutted it. And it's not as if they even used the entire too small 2:30 slot, they spent the last 5 minutes showing credits on the bottom with TV ads for other shows on the top. Argghhhh!!! Entire scenes were cut, other truncated, and lines gouged out (some of the better lines!). A complete mess and worst of all they cut the Bond/Moneypenny scene at the end when if they wanted to cut an end scene they could have cut Bond/Jinx! Yes I know I have it on DVD and I know Spike showed it a couple of months ago but still it's just wrong.  |

I'm so out of loop, I didn't evne know it was shown. Not that I missed much, and besides, I wasn't home anyway. I probably would have enjoyed gaping swearing, and throwing things at the TV, which isn't the same when the movie has been recorded. Did they at least cut the infamous parasurfing scene? Probably not...  |

Probably not... No, that they kept! Hard to believe, eh? They cut Bond talking to Moon "Tell it to the concierge" scene, the end of the of the glass in the mirror/ massage scene, "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter", getting and using the fast car (just show him getting out of it), I don't like cock fights, part of the sword fight where the BlueBoy gets cut -- when he leaps over the chair and other parts of it-- it's now a mess, opening the steam vents in iceland, moved scenes in Iceland, put your back into it, other bits and the beginning and end of every scene and soemtimes in the middle, and the the Moneypenny scene -- which is just criminal! The entire pacing of the film was screwed up. Ace |

No, that they kept! Hard to believe, eh? Er, no, it's not that hard to belive; from your description, they did their best to ruin the movie, so I thought they might leave the worst, though completely innocent scene intact. However, I had to make sure since they did cut the entire glider scene from TCA. But from your subsequent description it looks like DAD suffered even more than TCA. Now, that really is hard to believe. If they cut all those scenes, what do they have left with? No, don't answer... If I have half an hour or so, maybe I'll pop in my DAD DVD to watch the best of it. I seldom bother with the icecapades anyway. |

What they did to the film sounds horrifying. My sympathies for having to endure it! Edit: Having posted this message, I realised how appropriate my pouting Pierce icon is.  |

It's not pouting, it's thoughtful, and I love it.  I meant to post something earlier and forgot. |
