Ah saturday night movies - jurassic park and saving private ryan

[gear02]

ABC's showing Saving Private Ryan and NBC's showing Jurassic Park...

I forgot how much JP was such a good movie. Remember when it first game out? Wow, I thought that was the best movie. Great action, great dinosaurs, great music. hehehe...I'm getting old :D

The funny thing to note that NBC censored JP. Even the one swear "That's one big pile of s*it."

Meanwhile, ABC apparently couldn't care less. I believe every single f*cking word is in there, as I've already heard the words f*ck and sh*tty. Isn't there a rule that they can't say those on tv??

ESPN showed their homemade movie "Season on the brink" in which he swears every other word. It's cable so that might be different, but network TV????

I find the differences in the swearing policy to be most interesting...

Yeah, if I remember correctly, it was played unedited and commercial free last night. I didn't watch (we have it on dvd, so...), so I am not 100% sure, but...
