Page 1 of Quite possibly the most stupid piece of editing-by ITV I`ve ever seen

Just watching Lost world on ITV, and it`s the scene where all the ingen guys are chasing the dinosaurs on bikes and jeeps. Right at the end there`s the bit where a couple of the guys have ropes around a bipedal dinosaur`s neck (Can`t remember the name, Postlethwaite called it Elvis). The dinosaur swings a couple of the men around, and normally, it`s then brought down forcefully by about 4 men. ITV, however, have seen fit to cut out the last bit.

Now, I understand that there might be some concern that small children might get upset at the sight of the dino getting treated roughly, but many things should be taken into account.

[*]The Ingen guys are the baddies, witnessing this rough treatment just reinforces the group character.

[*]It`s not a real animal. It`s just CGI.

[*]The scene hasn`t been shown yet, but you can bet the bit where poor eddie gets ripped in half by the T-rex`s doesn`t get cut (It wasn`t last time)

[*]It`s a PG movie being shown in the early evening

I`m all for protecting kids from things they shouldn`t see, but if they wanted to be effective, maybe they should cut out every scene with Malcolm`s daughter who can`t act for crap.

But seriously, in this film you`re going to see a guy being eaten in San Diego (Look in imdb under `unlucky bastard`), as well as a dog. Then there`s the guy getting stomped on by a t-rex. I`m just confused as to why they deemed that scene cut-worthy

No it`s not!

I`ve just watched the Railway Children (1972 version) and they edited out four scenes that I can remember. What the hell is wrong with them?!

Jurassic Park 3 isn`t faring much better. I`ve become so enraged I`ve had to put my dvd of the film on...

i watched the 1st one a couple of days ago and the bit when the lawyer was eaten when on the toilet was cut from that one as well.bizarre how they operate isnt it

I`m sure I noticed a bit edited out of Big today on BBC1. When Tom Hanks receives his first paycheck there`s some dialogue between him and the guy in the cubicle next to him, but that was trimmed right out.

I really should know better than to watch movies I know well on TV before the watershed, they angry up the blood.
