I don't watch films on television anymore (with the exception of uncut old films shown on the PBS affiliate Saturday nights and TCM when I have access to cable). Why watch a cut version of a film with commercials when you can just rent it on DVD (and the DVD of High Fidelity is great)?

Jesus. I knew the US was hard on editing profanity from films but I thought they'd have outgrown the practice of cutting the film wholesale to fit a timeslot.

This is very annoying: as a onetime vinyl store nerd (more Todd Louiso than Jack Black, unfortunately), I love the record store scenes (which were more true-to-life than many of us'd like to admit). And considering how much Comedy Central plugged the "network premiere" of this movie, it's doubly appalling to read how much they fucked w./ it.

That is exactly why I steer clear of television interpretations of movies. They're are much better overseas, where they frequently show the entire unedited film.
