shareI think he will. This was a big deal a couple of years ago.
Now nobody watches AMC and people only subscribe to AMC because of free trials.
It was obvious what they did.
I'm going to guess if it's edit it's got nothing to with President Trump. The movie would be edited for television and Trump's scene is so small it doesn't change anything if it's edited out of the movie.
shareAMC really sucks though.
Last night they were running Christmas Vacation, and when the cat got electrocuted/fried under the chair, they cut one of Eddie's great one liners - "if that cat had nine lives she just spent 'em all!". Why was that edited out??
American cable TV networks are a vast wasteland. 8 minutes of program and 5 minutes of commercials.
A lot of tv broadcasts channels have been doing this time editing crap for years, just to fill out hourly slots or ads. TBS and especially TNT does this. From what I hear to have been happening more frequent recently, even though I don't watch films on TV broadcast anymore.
More recently, has anyone heard about the post that AMC in particular had a warning sign about "stereotypes" for Goodfellas? It was shared on Twitter. They never did that back when I was a teenager.
Not specifically, but these trigger warnings precede most shows these days. One of the cable networks was running the old Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts all day, and they had the trigger warnings before each one. Good thing too, otherwise I'd have been really offended.
He's the President of the United States.
Why cut that out?
How many Presidents appear in movies?
I can think of ZERO.
Agree. While I understand editing Trump out for time constraints years ago, once he became president in 2016 that scene should absolutely have been restored and some other 15 second scene trimmed.
But my general comment was about so much editing anyway. The example I used about Cousin Eddie and the cat I think made my point fairly well. IMO, networks shoot themselves in the foot with the 6 minute commercial breaks. As soon as the commercial break comes, I pick up the remote and go channel surfing for 6 minutes. If the commercial breaks were 90 seconds like the old days, people would stay "tuned". They could get 4-6 commercials in that people would actually watch. I wish some network would try this - charge more for the spot but you're virtually guaranteeing people actually watching the commercial, but I digress. Sorry for the rant.

Probably, the Trump Derangement Syndrome never ends.
