Society now running scared from social media reprisals it would seem. Not a good look IMHO. How long before it reaches the stage of the half-arsed followers of ISIS destroying the ancient city of Palmyra? Has to be a better way shirley?

Read the book, which was far better than the Hollywood nonsense.

TBF they are free to list whichever films they wish on their platform. Much though I have enjoyed the film in the past, I probably wouldn’t be bothered about watching it again as it is so dated.

Does that mean Django Unchained won't be on at Christmas?

Or Blazing Saddles?

I felt the same about Patriot Games and The Foreigner.

One of the all time classic lines in film history.

Don't worry it's coming back. So anyone who wants to watch 18 hours of interminable shite, the most annoying protagonist in movie history and some laughable depictions of antebellum will not have to wait long. The only good thing about it is Clark Gable who is an absolute geezer from start to finish, especially when he tells Scarlett to shove it up her arse at the end.

The article clearly states that this is temporary, and that it would be reinstated accompanied by “a discussion of its historical context and a denouncement of those very depictions”, but would remain unaltered “because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed”.

Seems reasonable enough to me.

I immediately thought of Django Unchained, although every Tarantino-head will be saying " He's highlighting racism and the film is a protest " it still looks quite dodgy.

I don't get why she's so into 'Airshlah' the whole time when Rhett the Sweat is buzzing around her exuding pheromones

Except in the novel, she actually wrote "My dear, I don't give a damn."

Slight change from the book which had ‘my dear, I don’t give a damn.’ I admit to googling and not having a Mastermindesque knowledge of Gone With the Wind. Either way, powerfully delivered by Clark Gable.
Whilst on Wikipedia I read that her pen name was Peggy Mitchell. Gone with the Wind fan on the screenwriting team at Eastenders ?
