indeed *smokes pipe*

YTMND NSFW scares me.

I like YTMND.

I like the site itself (or at least I used to, I'm kind of tired of it) but the boards are a ****show.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I'd get completely rid of every X-rated site on the Internet, and install "supreme-security" firewalls so nobody could reconsruct them. The existence of porn is one of many reasons why the world is so obsessed with sex. Contrary to popular belief, the times don't change by themselves. The content that we as a race put out there cause chain-reactions like that to happen.

Hahaha

I've never seen the appeal of the site, and the forum is scary.

Hey, respect the man's opinion!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I totally respect that

i'd delete this Yahoo OMG crap http://omg.yahoo.com/

It's hard to respect the opinion of a man who's promoting censorship and fascism.

What do you have against test screenings? They are a huge tool that filmmakers (pre internet) loved to use to get feedback.

Are you saying that it's completely acceptable for a 100 or so strangers (usually dragged in off the street and have little to no interest in the subject other than morbid curiosity) to have potential influence over a piece of art that has taken months for another bunch of entirely unrelated individuals to create? That these same strangers have influence over what you're potentially going to see?

That's mental.

 

[Fried Gold]

Never been to a test screening myself, but as for "The Crow" franchise, I've actually met and spoken to the original comic's creator, James O'Barr, many times at local conventions. I've told him what I like, dislike, and have concerns about, regarding both his work and the films that resulted from it. More often than not, he's actually agreed with me, with regards to each film's tone and content. That's not to say we agree on everything, but the basic points remained the same. I actually have a custom sketch that he did for me, about 2 months ago...

Well first of all, I'd assume that James O'Barr is a decent guy, and respects his fans, so of course he'd agree with you. In principle.

I'm not talking about the Crow specifically, though. I think that if you choose to expose yourself to a piece of art, it's your duty to accept what's laid in front of you as intended by the artist.

Racist sites

You'd get rid of the Hype?

And while we're at it, let's turn every gun in the world into a flurry of butterflies, and replace every car with a unicorn.

Howbout a gun that fires teddybears?

 

[keith_v]

Ummm....uhh, I dont know, I think any child porngraphy site would and should get deleted.

This I agree with. Although, if there were any sites devoted soley to child porn, they would probably be shut down already. I'm pretty sure that stuff gets moved through forums and myspace type sites. But I could be wrong.

I think that if you choose to expose yourself to a piece of art, it's your duty to accept what's laid in front of you as intended by the artist.

The way I always saw it, when the final result of any art piece (legal copyrights put aside) is finished and released, it belongs, in essence, to the peole who've seen it. Take the notion of books written years ago, now being turned into Broadway shows or feature films. Fans of those works have their own stories in their heads, and if they have a disagreement with the result, I think they have the moral right to change it as they see fit, provided they do not seek to profit from it. If people can adapt copyrighted books to the screen, then why can't fans make their own versions, strictly for their own use?

As ridiculous, and even kind of funny as I think it is that he is bothering to go through the trouble of censoring a direct to video Crow movie, it's really up to the people to interpret things and do with them personally as they stay fit. The school of thought that art is solely the product of an artist and the audience is irrelevant is only one philosophy, and one that's mostly gone by the wayside in modern times. Trying to redistribute your own version of the work would certainly be immoral, but the fact that he is trying to watch it as he sees fit is his prerogative, and an inherent part of viewing a work.

Sounds like that *****ebag Thomas Bowdler, who censored and re-wrote/edited the work of Shakespeare to make it moral.

Yeah, his name was even turned into a noun for doing that, "Bowdlerising". In that case you're trying to turn a profit by your censorship, which is essentially just extreme plagiarism.

How's censoring plagiarism?

 

[Leto Atrides]

You're selling other people's work as your own. I'm not talking about censorship in general. I'm talking about people who charge to rewrite other people's stories, reedit other's films, etc. as more "morally acceptable" independent of the creator or other owner of the rights.

Films censored for televison, or music albums censored for language or whatever can be seen as reprehensible artistically, but they at least are done with the acceptance of those who own them.
