Saw this article in the Telegraph this morning. I wonder how much the 'modifications' would have cost BA?[}:)]

Oh for heaven's sake - silly silly silly!!

How petty can you get. Does VS doe the same for films with BA in? I doubt it.

I agree that is just silly. [n]

That rely is pathetic,

A BA spokesman confirmed that changes had been made to Casino Royale. "All films are screened .... we want to ensure they contain no material that might upset our customers."

so a scene showing SRB from the front might upset their customers... yeah!

It could only be the darkside with this pathetic stunt...[:p]

SRB's appearance is so brief that the others I went to watch with all missed him anyway...

Read the same in The Times this morning ... pathetically childish and stupid I'd say. I wonder if BA do this for American, or another OneWorld partner ... if not they really should be shown up doubly for the fools they are.

What a load of old CARP[:w] ÒOpps I think I may have spelt that wrongÓ, Censorship Extreme B.A are just so silly, They have now lined themselves up for a mighty P.R Bashing[B)][B)] from the far superior V.S publicity Machine.

I hope V/S make Walsh the silliest looking little Willey in the Universe.[:o)][:o)]

I suppose they will also be taking the word Virgin out of the lyrics of that famous madonna song on their avod music selection.

I watched it on BA earlier this month and the film was butchered.The whole poisoning plot was removed as well as much of the stairwell ruck.I did notice the 747 VS tail logo was blanked out but I did think I saw SRB in the airport sequence,but probably too much Camus XO.

i had no feelings either way re BA but this silly action has put me right off going anywhere on BA how sad can they get. next thing all aircraft on their IFE will be doctored to show only BA metal? [V]

What a waste of time/money - certainly hasn't done them any good[n]

VS.

I think VS should make a spoof BA advert which takes the piss out them good and proper and show it on all their aircraft!!

What w**kers!!

[V]

Thans to this topic, I finally have an answer to a personal dilemma. My brother recently watched the BA version and asked me where the Virgin/SRB scenes I mentioned were. This, of course, confused the cr*p out of me until I read this particular thread.

How petty! Then again, Rainman was not allowed to be shown in-flight when it came out, as Dustin Hoffman gave a detailed accounting of flight crashes in part of the film, and the studio refused to let the scene be cut! Shame on the producers/studio for Casino Royale for allowing the butchery to go forth. [n][V]

Well said, Mark;)

Maybe team up with Pam Ann...[8D]

VS.

If BA have done this on Casino Royale have they done it on other films featuring VS? If they have its a fair few films they have "edited" Ones that spring to mind are Austin Powers, Love Actually, Bend It Like Beckham.

... and Calendar Girls?
