There must have been a booming market in black market DVDs and pirated media. ........................... LOL, yeah, lots of Porn I’m sure. Looks like they are trying to catch up with the 21st century, who knows maybe he’ll succeed in doing it? If he attended any of the Liberal Colleges in the USA, he’ll mess it up. What ever moral code they have left, will be thrown to the wind.
First movie showing The Wizard of Islam where Dorothy gets stoned by the munchkins.
Just no Hollywood movies made by Jews ...
The KSA Reformation continues...
In the 80s I rented a tape of Bachelor Party with Tom Hanks that had been censored by the Saudi religious authorities. They pretty much spliced the beginning credits to the end credits, and put a blue dot over the dancing hula girl statue in the beginning credits.
I rented it knowing that it would be edited, but I did not expect it to be that edited!
But you have to wear a blindfold and ear plugs.
Next, they’ll be allowing sound, in another 80 years..................
Just as movie theaters are becoming obsolete, the Saudis act right on cue.
Why is it always conservative when it is nothing more than corrupt nutcases running that benighted country? They did this in the 80s when the Soviet Union went bust - any commie who complained about it was called conservative.
Wow! Saudi Arabia, welcome to 1912!!!!!
The first one shown should be “The Innocence of Muslims” since that is the film that enraged the islamic world enough to cause the Benghazi attack.
Well, other than some indie films, what the heck would they watch? Movies are so bad today...
Maybe in another 30-40 years the Saudis will allow their schools to teach that the Earth is round and that gravity isn’t caused by “Djinns.”
The bigger boon to their economy was letting women drive. Now they can get rid of 1-2 million foreign employee drivers and keep that money in the country.
Just in time for really bad movies.
