I am so PISSED that I can't watch "Saving Private Ryan"
WTF? I was all set to watch it with my bottle of Heineken in hand, when this stupid screen with explanation of how the film couldn't be aired because of the FCC came from the ABC affiliate. This pisses me off to no end!

4. Blacked out here in St. Louis
Went into some rambling explanation about the FCC and how they didn't think it was offensive, but they didn't want to risk being fined, and if we disagreed, they told us to contact the FCC.

16. I am waiting for the blackouts
ABC's contract with Spielberg stipulates that the film cannot be edited.

21. They aren't showing it in Cleveland either
I wasn't going to watch it anyway, but I just checked. I get too uneasy watching any war flicks.

23. they're not showing it here either
Instead we get Broadcast News, a movie I like but have seen a hundred times. What is with these cowardly ABC affiliates?? People need to see Saving Privat Ryan, if only to show them how horrible war is, even if it is a just cause. It is such bullshit.
