Steven Seagal in Cock Puncher

I watched the end of an officer and a gentleman on tv the other day. First off the cut out the part where the black sergent is training the new group of troops and says "the only thing that comes from (insert state) is steers and queers, and i don't see any horns on you, so you must be a queer." I don't see the point of cutting that out. Even if you are pro gay rights, what's wrong with demonstrating what the military was like back than. That movie was made in the early 80s, and What the sergeant says/does was considered totally fine, i'm sure the american public didn't bat an eye, except possibly to laugh. So why do we now have to pretend it didn't happen. But much worse was the fight scene between richard gere and the sargeant. They are fighting and it looks like gere had the upper hand and is about to win, and then the sergeant punches him in the groin. And they cut that out. They left part of the fight, but cut out the cock punch. So you can show people being murdered, you can show rotting corpses, you can shows where torture people, but you can't show a cock punch. Now i'm no fan of cock punching, i was as disturbed as anyone to read about adrien beltre's injury. (for those who are unaware, he's a baseball player, who doesn't wear a cup and got struck by a funny bounce of a ground ball directly in el testicles. The injury being as described as: some tearing of the testicle and apparently is some internal bleeding in there.) I don't remember if he needed surgery, or how much time he missed, I think he was on the DL for at least a month. Any crotch shots are certainly unfortunate, but hardly any more obscene than the gruesome violence that is allowed on tv.

I couldn't get to the end of Cock Puncher, by the way. Give it a try if you've got some time to kill.

I saw it. I don't remember when, it was okay, had a few very funny parts, a few kind of funny parts, and some pretty stupid parts.
