Heard a rumour yesterday that CR has been heavily censored the UK, specifically the 'torture' scene. Apparently this was reported extensively the press last week, though I am yet to see it. Anybody else heard something like this, got any information?

they had to reedit the torture scene
maybe they did it World Police style,
showed the censors the most disgusting torture sene ever,
then compromised by using the scene theyd really meant to all along
Yes, i always say to my nephews "look, this is James Bond" but i never show that strong scenes, just the incredible ones, like: in DAD, the chase, the explotions, the bloddy invisible car, but i´m pretty sure that i won´t show the Bond-jinx scene in Cuba.
probably the exact moment when
to answer Eye Of The Tiger question: by the same reason people likes to see tortures, or horror movies: to see somebody else suffer
I’ve read CR twice, and it’s more graphic to me what your imagination pictures rather than up on the big screen.
Example: e scene in Reservoir Dogs where the poor old policeman gets his ear chopped off - You don’t see that, yet how many here put there hands over their eyes (I admit I do!)?
It's the fact that Bond comes back from this beating that makes him the character he is. I hope they show his vulnerable side after this beating, displayed in the book so well.
"Here's aquestion. And I promise you I would still ask the same question no matter who is playing Bond, or how good I thought the film might be!
Why would any man want to see a brutal sceen where a guy gets his genitals beatin? I can tellyou that that is one scene that I will not want to watch more than maybe once, and I would have prefered that they had not had the scene in the film!"
It's not that I desperately want to see someone have their balls beaten - it's just that I reckon that as an adult, I can make that decision myself. I want to see the filmmaker's final cut - I want to see their vision for the film. I couldn't care less about the possibly divergent views of the censor.
