There was only *1* line censored from the film. When you hear the zipper, and Lily says “It’s twue”, Bart responds “Sorry to disappoint you ma’am, but you’re sucking on my elbow”.

The MPAA said NO to that line.

For fit and giggles watch Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank. If you have not, already. I watched it with my grand kids
Stars voices are mel brooks, ricky gervais, samuel l. jackson. It was about as good as Saddles in cartoon form.

Of course, you'll have the good taste not to mention that I spoke to you.

Cleavon Little and Jessamine Milner

Airplane is certainly the best remake of a movie. Far better than the original Zero Hour.

The insurers back then had better instincts. Even then as today Pryor wouldn’t have worked for the role . Cheavon Little was a much better actor.

***ass-kickers, shit kickers and. . . Methodists!”***

Then he needs the natives from the 1970 movie Skullduggery, with Burt Reynolds in which the natives protest being called Cannibals because “ME METHODIST!”

Haven’t seen that movie in 54 years!

I’m a Methodist. Part of the reason for the Evil, in EvilCapitalist. After all, we Methodists are at the end of a long line of evil people.

I remember cable TV in 1960. Our isolated town of Clayton NM had it from Amarillo TX.
But it never took off till the 1970s. Probably because local merchants who advertised on local over the air TV channels did not want the outside competition.

Then it was found cable TV bypassed the FCC over the air rules for content and WOW! Late night cable channels started showing porn! And cable really took off until Satellite TV started showing hardcore porn.

It is truly a shame that the general racial tone got jacked up to stupid. We are losing out on a great opportunity to learn about each other without fear of getting cancelled. For example…

I have a very dear friend who is black. Once I was hanging with him, and his grown daughter stopped by.

They were talking about an upcoming big party. He asked what time it starts. She said “3pm, BPT.”

I said….”excuse me, what’s BPT?”

She laughed and said “black people time…we are always late. If I tell everyone to arrive at 2pm, then they’ll all start rolling in around 3pm.”

I replied “ohhhhh…it’s the opposite of white people time. It’s basically a mortal sin for us to show up late to ANYTHING. If we need to get there by 2pm, we will leave early and get there early. If we are too early, we will go to Dunkin Donuts and drink coffee until, say, 15-30 min before arrival time.”

I learned something, they learned something. Nobody called the authorities, nobody Tweeted, nobody died. But if Karen or Brandon had overheard our talk, we’d be front-page news - because the jar-shakers want we red and black ants to be warring

"Tell me schwartze, is it true what they say about the way you people are gifted? >> zip << Oh, it’s twue! It’s twue, it’s twue, it’s twue!"

Censors cut the next line. The sheriff says, "You're kissing my elbow..."
