Not that I was really looking forward to seeing it or anything, but it really cheeses me off that the UK will be seeing a censored version of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. What, it’s okay for 12-year-olds to perv on a woman with 34DD breasts, but we can’t show her headbutting anybody? The knives and throat chops are probably the only highlights of the whole sucky movie.

that seems to be a bit of a switch from the pervailing sentiment in american cinema (and tv)–that anything sexual or even relating to the naked form must be censored, but brutal and gratuitous violence is par for the course.

Attack of the Clones has just been cut as well, by one second to remove a head butt. It was either that or a 12 certificate. It sucks.

What, the UK version? Luckily I’m Down Under now. 🙂
