Mile High Rub

I doubt if the Wright brothers would ever have imagined a passenger traveling in a future version of their flying machine seeing (and understanding) the message, "Please wait while seat reboots." What a wonderful world.

Why are the majority of the movies available on the in-flight entertainment systems edited while others are shown as is? I don't understand why I could only watch an edited version of Blades of Glory while getting 300 in all its R rated glory. If all the in-flight movies were edited to remove violence, language, and nudity I could understand it, but there seems to be little rhyme or reason to the offerings. I never watch the edited movies because I don't know what has been edited and why.

I did watch 300 and was pleasantly surprised. It was a much better movie than I had been led to believe. While I would have preferred to see the guys actually wear their tunics and cover their bulging pecs at least occasionally, overall I found it very entertaining. Great story, good action sequences, and a score appropriate for the film? What more could you ask for? Especially from a comic book (sorry geeks, but calling it a "graphic novel" doesn't mean it's anything more than a glorified comic book) adapted to the big screen.

And, as VDH pointed out, it isn't too far a field from the real history either. Yes, idiotic morning show host on KFAN who shall go unnamed, it REALLY did happen.
