Tonight I was watching the movie "Sideways" on the FX channel. They dubbed the naughty words out because even though they're a cable channel, I guess they want to be kid friendly.
...at least during early evening hours; I've seen "Rescue Me" late night on FX, and then, hoo-boy! they really kick out the stops!
So there's this one scene where Miles (Paul Giamatti) and Jack (Thomas Haden Church) are on a golf course. Apparently they're playing a little slowly, because the group behind them hit a ball right past them, yelling at them to hurry up.
I've seen the film previously, and Jack and Miles are outraged, and Jack (in the original, unedited version) had hollered "That's not cool, asshole!" Well, that sort of language isn't acceptable on FX before 10PM, so the line in the movie was dubbed with a startling bit of editorial originality:
I'm not sure why...but that line made me very happy.

Thank you Aimai.
I miss hanging out at FDL like I used to before I had a blog...nowadays, I only have time to check in and occasionally comment.
what kid in their right mind would watch "Sideways" ?
what a snoozefest. And no karate.
..but that's really funny. I'm gonna start screaming ASHCROFT when people cut me off in rush hour traffic.
I like Paul Giamatti; he was great in "American Splendor". But yeah, the movie WAS kind of boring.
