Just to compare... One of my movies ( back in the 90ties and sold to Blockbuster) had to be heavily edited ( it was fairly soft lesbian vampire movie)... When I have complained to the British board of censors that Pasolini's "Salo 120 days of Sodom" was freely available, I was told that when it comes to art the rules differ.... Art???? Art where kids are forced to eat apples loaded with razor blades, girls' breasts burned off with candles, everybody eats excrement... and other fine "artistic" endeavours ... Fuck me, UK is screwed....
only Paul Markham still lives in a dream, but hey, here we have freedom so he is entitled to his opinions.
