  ooooh i see, the snips are enforced by our omniscient board of censors who decides what's 'not good'. The distributors then deal with that decision. Yup, better than nothing, i'm still bitter bout schindler's list almost a decade ago @_@

  something like that.... censors will tell the distributors "ok.. you can release this film under this rating..." and distributors on learning the scenes that warrant that rating will have to make the call....
  
  Yup.. me bitter abt schindler's list too... and there was some disagreement during that time I remember abt the cuts and the director's insistence to keep the film whole... same thing with Saving Private Ryan....

  ya, they quickly bring in new movies for more sellable shows
  unlike cathay, they screen movies like 'city of god' 'raising victor vargas' for weeks!..
  
  there are a few other snips in lost in translation.. but the strip joint one was most glaring..

  I think the one about the president and the tea lady was the worst! Total fairy tale. But I like the couple though hehehe.
