DVD Collectors Online

To be fair, a quick search in Google doesn't give any evidence for a ban as such, just a perceived general opinion that cartoons from before the 60s are no longer considered acceptable for children and quite a few have been edited anyway to reduce racism. There is a digital channel called Boomerang here which does show them, but it's hardly prolific. And they've recently had to edit more cartoons to reduce smoking references. Smoking now lies somewhere between rape and GBH as crimes in the UK! In fact I don't think many people can tell the difference anymore...

I think it's simply a case that if the BBC scheduled normal cartoons in their regular children's TV slots, they would invite a lot of complaints. By a lot I mean about 7, which normally seems enough for someone like OFCOM to consider slapping the broadcasters wrist, regardless of how many millions did watch without feeling in anyway corrupted.

Bear in mind that censorship has improved, but only by tightening up the lower certificates. In other words, 18 anything goes, but less and they come down like a ton of bricks. Or not if your name is Tom...

And for Gods sake give Mammy Two-shoes her proper voice back(voiced by Lillian Randolph)

IIRC - the voice was changed as it wasn't politcally correct for a woman of colour to be a housekeeper[spoiler](which sounds racist to me that she's not good enough for the job)[/spoiler]

The first two actually came on the last day of last year.

	Tenacious D: The Complete Masterworks II ($13.14 at DVD Pacific) I am a fan of Tenacious D, so of course I had to get this set.
	Best Student Council: Complete Collection ($28.49 at DVD Pacific) Blind buy.

The following three I have bought yesterday in a Blu-ray sell

	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (€14.99 at Saturn)
	Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer (€14.99 at Saturn)
	Keinohrhasen (€14.99 at Saturn) A German romantic comedy which is supposed to be good.

Cannot wait for your reviews of this weekend
Especially your opinions on
Incredible Hulk
Hancock
Dark Knight
Iron Man

I can't wait to watch them! The hard part will be deciding which to watch first! 

I have those superhero movies..I have been considering watching Iron Man again soon..I could see myself having my own little superhero movie marathon before long. lol

Anyway, I got another DVD today that I had ordered.  The last of my recent orders.



I'm looking forward to watching this set..and getting the third season.  I think that is the only other season out on DVD so far.  I don't get why it takes so long for some series.  Anyway, I'm glad I picked up this set.

Not enough sales probably 

True..I hadn't though of that.  I'm sure that does play a rather big part in the decisions on which shows to put on DVD.
