- Yes, and it is so infuriating with those hypocrits that make up our national
- board of censorship. As stated, 'Man Bites Dog' gets totally banned, and
- 'Henry, Portrait Of A Serial Killer' was cut beyond recognition, since they
- attempt to depict the true nature of violence.
- This while the whole range of Hollywood imports like 'Rambo X' and 'Universal
- Soldier', which wallow in fictitious acts of brutality and violence, passes
- without anyone raising an eyebrow. To complicate matters further, directors
- like Greenaway and Lynch apparently have no problems whatsoever with their
- respective movies, since they can claim a high level of artistic quality.

- It just doesn't make sense, IMHO.
