The Great Porn Debate
Ozymandias:
How far does that extend? Do you ban Deliverance? How about A Clockwork Orange? How about I Spit on Your Grave? At what point do you draw the line and say "this is what should be banned, this is porn, not something people should watch"?
Of course, we're talking about the UK here. Clockwork Orange was banned. So was I Spit on Your Grave, the uncut version still having never been legally released in the UK, so the point is irrelevant in this case. But it's something I find hard to just...say is so because it's so.
Patrick:
Nobody said Britain had a shining record for passing reasonable laws.

At the director's request. It was released a year after he died.
Ballard:
Wait, it was made legal in 2000?
a pack of wolves:
It was never illegal, but Kubrick held the rights and withdrew the film after football hooligans took to dressing like Droogs when out for a ruck so he prevented any distribution of it within the UK.
