ESQUIRE Network, You Should Be Ashamed ...


... for how you mutilate the 007 movies! You give them two and a half hours of broadcast time, yet you cut off bits and pieces willy nilly, exactly as if you wanted them to last only a sitcom's half hour!!!😠

I distinctly remember many of GoldenEye's action scenes being severely cut on one of its cable broadcasts (not sure if it was Esquire of not). The final fight with Trevelyan and the escape from the archives were almost cut entirely.

The final fight with Trevelyan

î‚© Oh geez, almost might as well not watch the movie with that cut out!

Yep, it went from Bond kicking Alec from the ladder straight to the final seconds before Bond goes out on the ladder. It was an extremely jarring cut and another reason why movies on cable are trash.

Verily I say unto thee..mon Dieu,not only are they cutting the willy but now also taking the knife to the nilly. Oh the pain of it all.
