FRESHLY SCRUBBED FILMS

Doug Fabrizio discussed the sanitized movie phenomenon with Daniel Thompson of Flix Club, Vince Horiuchi of The Salt Lake Tribune, and Dean Duncan of Brigham Young University today.

"Last year, the US District Court decided that movies edited by companies like the now-defunct CleanFlicks are in violation of copyright law. Logan-based Flix Club has stepped in to fill the void under a "fair-use" loophole. Radiowest will discuss the consumers who are willing to pay for these sanitized movies, and the artists who want their work to be left alone."

The show is available for download in its entirety at KUER.org

Spielberg says no one has the right to impose their truth on top of his. My response to that is, he's the God of truth? We just want to watch a movie without sex and nudity.

Sometimes a movie can be like a Trojan Horse from Satan.

A lot of people are just really tired of [. . . ] turning on the TV or renting a movie and constantly being hit by violence, profanity and nudity. A lot of people want to go back to the 1950s, before this sort of thing was routine.
Sandra Teraci, Family Flix USA

This has very little to do with protecting children. There are all kinds of religious, political and ideological biases at work.
Robert Rosen, Dean of UCLA Film

Sanitizing movies to delete content that may offend some people is an illegitimate business.
Judge Richard Matsch, U.S. District Court

I think it's stupid that Hollywood is getting all artistic and putting that garbage into films.
Dawn Gillings, Cougar Video Customer

It's sad that Hollywood finds it wrong to take out profanity, sexual content and nudity.
Daniel Thompson, Clean Flicks Dealer

People have been ordering $200, $300 worth of movies. What else can they do? They know it's the last chance they'll have. This is Satan at his best.
Mandy Botts, Manager of 3 Clean Flicks Dealerships

Audiences can now be assured that the films they buy or rent are the vision of the filmmakers who made them and not the arbitrary choices of a third-party editor.
Michael Apted, DGA

This is a typical case of David vs. Goliath, but in this case, Hollywood rewrote the ending. We're going to continue to fight.
Ray Lines, C.E.O. Clean Flicks

Once you edit Kate Winslett’s breasts out of 'Titanic,' what’s the point of the movie? It is a little-known fact that the inspiration for 'Titanic' began when James Cameron asked himself, 'How can I get Kate Winslett to take off her clothes on camera?'
Robert Stacy McCain, Opinion Columnist and Blogger

Daniel Dean Thompson . . . has NEVER been a partner, officer, affiliate, dealer, franchisee, collaborator, consultant or representative of any Clean Flicks entity in any capacity.
