Sure, these are Sony’s films and they have a right to do whatever they want with them, and it’s not like we haven’t been watching altered versions of movies for years on TV and on planes, but I feel like if a film contains material that may be considered objectionable to a youngster, then maybe that movie wasn’t meant for them to begin with.
This also fucks with the artist’s work, and I don’t feel like any studio should fuck with an artist’s work if they can help it, even if that movie is Grown Ups 2. Here’s a Tweet Seth Rogen sent out earlier today with his brief thoughts:
I’ll use the same argument I’ve used countless times before when having discussions about the MPAA and their repeated attempts at controlling content in the movies- parents should be the ones who decide if a movie is appropriate for their children. I get that you want your infant to experience Talladega Nights, but maybe you should just hold off until they are mature enough to understand the nuanced humor that Ricky Bobby can deliver rather than giving them some neutered version that is bereft of all its comedy gold.
I get that in the scheme of things this isn’t a big deal and the clean versions are optional, they aren’t forced upon you like some kind of government censorship, but it ends up creating a product that wasn’t the filmmaker’s vision and that’s not something I can stand behind.
