Here movies are repeated all year round, sometimes twice a day, so I rarely miss a film I desperately want to see.Prashant C.

English channels in India censor scenes and dialogues with shears and MGM is no better. I'm thinking of doing a post about it.Prashant C.

This was while I was growing up in Manhattan. If you missed a movie the first time, you could be sure of catching up with it at some point. Good times. :)<br /><br />I don't mind subtitles. I like French movies and don't speak French fluently so subtitles are necessary.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-78851305727034282142013-04-30T06:59:22.859-07:002013-04-30T06:59:22.859-07:00THE HUNTING PARTY, particularly unedited, is a pre...THE HUNTING PARTY, particularly unedited, is a pretty brutal and not very good film, despite a decent cast...I wonder how MGM channel in India treated it...MGM channel in the US does tend to censor, I think...Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-66486986955327944732013-04-30T05:57:17.479-07:002013-04-30T05:57:17.479-07:00As someone with impaired hearing, I prefer movies ...As someone with impaired hearing, I prefer movies and TV with subtitles, though for English-language productions they are generally available only on DVD here. I have sometimes sat through programs catching the occasional phrase with only a shred of an idea of what is going on. The current showing of the BBC series "The Bletchley Circle" on PBS is an example. Ron Scheerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357501069513854664noreply@blogger.com
