Hi all

The Glimmer Man is on television here in Australia tonight, I am really looking forward to it as always. Steven's movies have been on here alot lately. To end 2003, Fire Down Below was shown, to start 2004 Hard to Kill was shown, and now The Glimmer Man. The Glimmer Man is severely cut in our television version, with most of the Lentos Restaurant Scene cut back. I hate it when his movies are cut back. I love The Glimmer Man, although I love all Steven's movies naturally, but I love Steven's confidence in The Glimmer Man when he is threatened and says, Nobody, Nobody Threatens Me.

Regards

Nash.

Hi Nash, another aussie eh?..But mate dont tell me that it pisses me off when they think just because its a tv version that they can cut things out.I can just handle it when they do it to other movies, but when they do that to Stevens movies well then thats war..Heather
 
I'm sorry they cut out most of the extream violence for you guys :(.I wonder which country cuts the most bits out of Seagal's films?In the UK it seems to depend on which tv network is screening it.I think Channel 5 seems to be the best for Seagal's films here in the UK(please correct me if i'm wrong).

Peace,

Leon

I think here they edit mostly to give more commercial time. They say it's edited for content, but I think the money is the bigger issue! :D

Well, TBS does like to take the delicate sensibilities of the movie viewing audience into consideration, and carefully edits out the bloodiest bits of fight scenes, and of course, Steven NEVER uses the "F" word in any of his earlier films at all!

-TD, in Canada, eh, where nobody's got any delicate sensibilities!

Hi Heather

Good that there are a few aussies on board. When I watched The Glimmer Man last night, I noticed that they cut most of the fight at Lentos out, as well as the great fight scene at the end, they cut the section where Steven hits the bad guy with a phone to get him off him. I hate it when they do this. By the way Heather how is your health, I hope you are well.

I know channel 5 used to be very cool,hardly cutting anything out of his movies at all!Sometimes they would even include missing scenes from the likes of Marked For Death!Perhaps they are changing,though,as they seem to be have been pretty strict as of late:(

Fire Down Below is on channel 5 this coming Friday.

Hi Heather

Good to hear you health is improving. I live in Warrnambool, Victoria. I hear we have to wait until Feb 25 for Belly of the Beast, it sounds great, even the critics have said some nice things about it.

I'm glad you are doing good Heather. Seems like you are taking it day by day.

In Illinois the worst channels are 9 and TBS. They cut everything. I hate it when you can see the actors (Steven) lips move and different words come out. Expecially when you know the line. Then there is the comercials when they cut out a scene completly. Sometimes I think that I missed a scene when I realise that they cut it out. It gets me really ticked off.

February is a big month for Steven's movies. There are 14 of his movies on for that month. Yes most of them are cut but I will still watch them.
