Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

My very first night in America back in 1991, I watched 'An American Werewolf in London' on the telly. As an admirer of Jenny Agutter's uh, acting, I was devastated amused to note that the micro-second of nekkidity had been cut. People being mauled to death, intestines spilling out, and human bodies rotting progressively...all left in. 

 

My personal favourite let's-edit-out-the-sweary-words-for-the-tender-natured moment came in the US TV version of 'Glengarry Glenn Ross.' If you took out all the bad language, the film would be about 8 minutes long so instead they overdubbed it to have the characters using the most inane phrases. In one scene, Jack Lemmon points at his own bum while yelling "Kiss my ACT!"

After making that last post, I pulled up 'An American Werewolf in London' on the Internet Movie Database, just to check if there was anything I was mis-remembering. The very first item under the Parental Guide is:

Sex & Nudity

Did you just say Charlie Bronzo was a p***k? Expect a letter from his agent...it will knock you out!

Good Luck with that. Charlies was the hardest man every until they put him a coffin. It took 4 days,  dead, nobody would lift his body into the coffin, this is true.

American Werewolf was the very first VHS video I saw. My dad hires out a video recorder for the weekend along with 2 videos (can’t remenber what the other one was). Don’t think I slept for a week after seeing it (I was probably about 9 at the time).

Agutter’s Flange (Great band btw) didn’t make an impact on me until Walkabout though.

The Long Good Friday for me. The first thing I recorded by myself was an episode of Minder. One day this information will be useful.

My word, what a wonderful piece of art that film was.

I’m back at work tomorrow and hope that there’s enough time passed since the 1st that no-one will demand Happy New Year handshakes. Anyone doing that shite after January 1st can get in the bin.

I’m not going back until Monday for this very reason. 2-5th is the danger zone imo.

Dentist tomorrow...

Ah the inevitable dressing down from the Dental Hygienist about not flossing. As someone else posted ages ago

Dental Hygienist: Your teeth are terrible, the plaque build up is the worst I have ever seen, all your teeth will fall out, your gums will bleed and you will die.

Dentist: open wide, yep, yep, all good here.
