Cameron's "Titanic" movie, shown on TNT, deletes "Jesus, Mary, Joseph" dialogue...

Actually, itsounds very positive to me! I find it highly offensive when the Lord’s name is taken in vain, and to me, this includes using it in casual dialog.

The morons at TNT are so stupid that they thought the woman was cursing when she was actually praying.

From the context, as I am not so familiar with that movie, “Jesus” was a name being used in vain. Maybe that’s why. I notice that there’s not a lot of “Oh my God” on some of my food and decorating channels, either. It’s always “Oh my gosh” or “Oh, my goodness.”

I’m glad you can find the ray of sunshine in that, but you know as well as I do that Turner Network Television (TNT) didn’t mute His name to keep from offending you. I agree it is a positive outcome.....mysterious ways indeed.

They were using the Lord’s name in vain in the movie....for entertainment. It’s a good thing it was taken out, not bad.

Yes, he’s seen all the Titanic movies made — from 1943, 1958, and other documentaries as well. It’s a wonderful (albeit sad) story.

They should have muffled Leo DiCaprio’s lines :)

Unfortunately (for you), in the TNT version, there was no naked Rose a.k.a. Kate Winslet.

The Stanwyck version was made in 1953. Make sure he catches it, if he hasn’t.

I’ve avoided the movie, is she praying or exclaiming? If she’s exclaiming then it would be using The Lord’s name in vain and that’s usually blanked out. Same reason “goddammit” turns to “[pause]dammit”.

Yes, 1953. Yes, he has watched that one with Stanwyck.
I have to say that the 1958 film, “A Night To Remember”, based on the book by Walter Lord, is one of the best — aside from Cameron’s version.

Yes, she was exclaiming. She was reacting to something amazing that Rose’s character (Kate Winslet) did with her feet.

Since when does ANYONE find the word "Jesus" offensive enough to mute it out of a TNT movie dialogue? If it was being used as an exclamation, then I'm glad it was removed.
There was a survey some years ago that found a disparity in perception of profanity... basically, in rural/religious, i.e., 'red state' areas, people thought 'G**D***' was worse or more offensive profanity than 'F***.' In urban/secular areas it was just the opposite. I definitely hold the former view.
