[Misc] Gone With The Wind - GONE!

[SeagullinExile]

I felt the same about Patriot Games and The Foreigner.

Terrific book Patriot Games. Wish someone would make a movie out of Red Storm Rising, which to me is Clancy's finest work.

Does that mean Django Unchained won't be on at Christmas?

Or Blazing Saddles?

Glad I’ve got Ben Hur on DVD, this will definitely come a cropper.

The book burnings will come next.

Yup, heading headlong that way now, sadly. Unhealthy as what went before IMHO. Just looks like a new form of McCarthyism. Get with the RIGHTSPEAK or answer to the social media police

Tolkien's orcs are supposedly 'racism' so Jackson's films will be on 'the delete list' soon enough.

[Is it PotG?]

Spartacus too.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Life of Brian ?

 

[Chicken Run]

Gladiator needs to look at itself too....

Wow, was only thinking that the other day, not sure the USS Enterprise would fit into a Southampton Dry Dock though[emoji23], I’ve read it twice and was thinking of digging it out for a third showing.

Great minds...

Another similar book worth reading (if you haven't already) - The 3rd World War - A future History by General Sir John Hackett. Propper scary cold war stuff.

The Bible's under pressure too - try Ephesians 6:5-8

So it's been removed from one streaming service somewhere? But is still widely available in all other formats and on other streaming services?

CENSORSHIP!!!!

 

[bluenitsuj]

Beyond a joke now. Everything will be banned soon because the minority numpties throw their toys put the pram

HBO responded with a statement, which said: “These racist depictions were wrong then and are wrong today, and we felt that to keep this title up without an explanation and a denouncement of those depictions would be irresponsible.”

The streaming service added that the film would return to the platform accompanied by “a discussion of its historical context and a denouncement of those very depictions”, but would remain unaltered “because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed.

So, again not banned or censorship

I'm guessing that's the slaves obey your masters passage.

I like Ephesians. And Paul isn't condoning slavery.

There is a difference between history and celebrating history. It will be sad if some cannot make this distinction.

In your opinion, will any of the other films and TV mentioned here be accompanied by “a discussion of its historical context and a denouncement of those very depictions”?

Will it be deemed illegal to watch a DVD without such explanation in the future?

I feel sorry for Guy Gibson's dog going forward, no doubt the dog will be cut from the film, or suffer being bleeped whenever his name is called.
