Quote:Oh GR, I thought they just painted out the guns completely, but I guess some of that was walkie talkies put in (yeah, it wouldn't make sense for them to have both handheld walkie talkies AND secret service style headsets). I thought it was utterly hilarious when a bunch of men walk in on Kaiba threatening him to come with them and all they could do to menace him was all point at him with somewhat badly drawn index fingers, and more than that Kaiba actually saw it fit to jump out the window, off a cliff, and down to jaggy rocks in the ocean rather than face the menacing wrath of those pointing fingers!
Seriously, when did it become wrong for even the bad guys to have guns? They exist! Kids know they exist! They even pretend their fingers are guns when they can't have toy guns, and have for a LONG time! Oh, and I suppose a sword is just fine then? Right...
They had guns originally? That does make that scene make more sense... :)
Quote:Lemme just say this. I own my computer. I can smash it and it wouldn't be a sinful thing to do, but it WOULD be a very stupid thing to do. I think ABF is saying it was STUPID to change it (not that I agree, I honestly don't see the difference, and by the same token don't even see why it was changed, plus I didn't even notice it), not a sin. One can easily judge that some piece of art or whatever is WORSE after the creator did something, and I think that's what ABF means. Does that make it WRONG? No, not in the sense that it was a sin or a crime (well, a crime against art maybe ), but it can still be stupid or make something worse. He's got the full right to do whatever he wants to his movies and there's no moral problems at all (well, unless he films himself eating babies or something and puts that in the movies), but he could still be said to have made the movies worse for what he did, like if he changed Darth Vader into a nagging englishman.
Yes.
