Something like Netflix but it removes the hot scenes and nudity scenes

There used to be a Chrisitan thing called "Clean Films" that did that with DVDs, but I think it got shut down because they stupidly never got permission to do what they were doing. At least that's what I heard. We used to rent those from our local Christian book store.

Although, I will say, sometimes it makes things realllllly confusing. Like for example, I remember watching How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days on Clean Films, and there's this scene where the girl meets the guy's family and its like a really important moment, and they cut that entire scene because they were playing the card game "Bull Shit" throughout the scene. So since they kept saying that word over and over, instead of trying to bleep it out or something, they just cut out the whole scene. So the next scene was the girl talking to the guy about meeting his parents and I was like uh... when did that happen?

 

Yeah, the studios and filmmakers weren't happy their movies were being censored.

Sony planned to release edited movies but a number of directors complained.

A statement from Guild of America:

These are hard-fought-for rights that protect a director’s work and vision, and are at the very heart of our craft and a thriving film industry. As we have throughout our history, we are committed to fighting the unauthorised editing of films.

I wouldn't want my work to have a forced censorship if I was a director.

 

Hm... idk. I don't think "forced censorship" is the right way to phrase that. Forced censorship would be telling the director they can't make the movie they want to make how they want to make it, period. This is different. They're still allowed to make the film how they want to, and someone else is allowed to edit it how they want to in the future.

I'm not sure if I agree with the legality of it, either, but I think censorship is innacurate. But as a creator, Idk if I would want my work to be altered like that either. I think they should need the permission of the creators to do that.

 

I’ve used this product and it works pretty well. The only problem whas the amount of films and shows they had available. Not very many.

 

A book! A human being ! Dont waste time with TV. Society needs a no time waste movement too

 

A guess a book equivalent of VidAngel is someone who rips out pages from certain books.

 

You do realize that sitting around reading books is exactly as much of a "waste of time" as watching TV, right?

Live and let live, dude. You don't need to come into someone's TV-related thread to judge them and tell them they should be reading instead. I'm so sick of that. Reading fiction is no more of a productive activity than watching TV.

 

I agree with you but it could be said that it's better for your brain to read a book than to watch a movie.

 

Depends on what movie we are comparing to what book. I think the difference between watching Les Misérables and reading Twilight speaks for itself.

 

That is a bastardisation of the printing press. I meant real reading material on or off the line.

 

Why must you be an ass? Let people enjoy what they want to enjoy. There's literally no point in your being in this thread just to be rude. As a fiction author, I take particular offense to this.

 

Hello,
Please stay on the main subject of the post, if you have a different opinion or idea other than that of the original poster, feel free to start a new thread. I believe this post was not meant to be a debate.

Regards.

 

Well what you just said you agreed with is not what he said at all, it's what I said. So I'm not sure how we are "both right." But it's not important. I just don't like it when people come into a thread just to be rude for no reason at all and provide nothing contructive.
