Yeah, wow! They fuzzed out the video taped scene that Dafoe and Kinnear watch on TV! Pretty sick censorship!
shareIn his commentary, Paul Schrader said that in the end, he didn't mind because the focus of those scenes was not what was on the screen, but how Crane and Carpie were relating to it.
The focus of the scenes in question is how casually they relate to what's on the tape, as they talk vapidly about the quagmire Bob's life is becoming.
Forget for a minute what they're watching specifically. What's important is that Bob is wondering why his marriage is crumbling as he's watching himself commit adultery. The scene is set up to show just how shallow, self-centered and clueless he is.
