Yes, I could have gone to my grave without seeing a nude Ken Davitian in BORAT, but I think the main reason they black-barred Sasha’s naughty bits was that he’s Jewish and it would have been odd for Borat himself to have been…altered like that. 😉

A shame, looks like it would have been a nice sight.

My husband and I both thought Sasha’s schlong was blacked out so they could make it a super-long black bar. As if “Borat” had this immense unit.

You’re right. I’m against movie censorship in principle, but I know a lot of people who would really enjoy _Amelie_ were it not for that very brief scene. Seems gratuitous, given the tone and content of the rest of the movie. So I don’t recommend it to some (older, conservative folks and younger teens).  
[/QUOTE]

While parts of the movie are whimsical, much of it is more adult in tone. The scenes involving the sex shop, for example. I don’t think that one sequence was gratuitous at all. The sex sequence in _Delicatessen_ might be a better example.

I guess the inserted images in “Fight Club” don’t really count as scenes, but I’ve always wondered what they were meant to accomplish.  
[/QUOTE]

Earlier in the movie, Tyler Durden (I think) had taken a job as a projectionist, purely to insert such images into kids movies. It’s a meta joke that they do the same thing later on in _Fight Club_ itself.
