TNT Neuters Pale Rider


First by cutting out the axe-handle scene in town, then afterwards with the confrontation in camp with the hammers.

Unacceptable. I'll be turning it off now, because you know they'll be editing the best parts out.

Way to go TNT. Asshats.

Oh wow, that's really wrong. I wonder why they did that.

Why complain about editing for television? You know that the violent and sexual stuff cannot be shown on regular tv. Discretion is necessary when broadcasting on non-movie stations because believe it or not, not everyone enjoys R-rated material.

You do realize that a lot of people get gunned down in this movie, right? And believe it or not, that's a lot more violent than a couple of guys getting smacked up with an axe handle.

You saw Dingleberries?

If your cheap asses bought or rented the DVD you wouldn't need to complain about R-rated content being edited on mainstream programming. Why not just show porn on Disney channel at 4:00 in the afternoon since you have NO concept of discretion.

I own the DVD. I wasn't complaining about anything, I just felt compelled to respond to the smug stupidity of your earlier post. The axe-handle fight isn't R-Rated content. TNT shows much, much worse in their own original programming. The editing of the scenes probably had more to due with time constraints than the (not so) violent content. Also, your arguments make you sound like a blithering idiot. Way to go off the deep end.

I agree Sister. I have no problem with that and think its a pretty good idea.
