Clean Flix?

The older I get, the less I understand American culture (can I even realistically use that word?).

Yes, you can. Culture in America isn't totaly repressed and destroyed. Not yet. It's like a flower growing out of a crack in the concrete; struggling, ignored by most, but still beautiful.

Here is a list and comparison of companies that do this, in case you're interested in trying one:

According to Clean Flicks FAQ they edit out profanity, graphic violence, nudity, and sexual language. So, they probably wouldn't be editing out "magic." In the end it is probably just like a regular movie that has been edited for the Pax channel.

Services like this also aren't all that new. I don't know if it was Clean Flicks but I know there was a service like this in the late '80s for VHS tapes. And in the early days of computer DVD players you could subscribe to a service that would download from the internet a table of content to skip when playing DVDs (so, if you were watching Liar Liar it would know to skip four seconds at 23 minutes, 16 seconds in and so on).

I also don't know that I would blame these services on "American culture." I have now doubt they'd be in Europe as well except that the service provided violates EU copyright laws.

Is there culture in the US?

Yes Lisa there is still culture in America and while many may question that idea, they have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age.
"They do not believe except what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Lisa, whether they be men's or children's, are little.
"In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of gasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
"Yes, Lisa, there is culture in America. It exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no culture.
There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Culture! You might as well not believe in fairies.
"The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in this world.
"You tear apart the baby's rattle to see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart.
"Only faith, poetry, love, romance can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Lisa, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
"No culture? Thank God there is. A thousand years from now, Lisa, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, American culture will continue to make glad the heart of humainity."

In a shameless example of a judge getting starstruck by Hollywood hotties like Martin Scorsese, Judge Richard Matsch of Denver (Denver?? whatever...) has ruled that making movies clean is a dirty business. So from now on movie goers can enjoy their smut in the privacy of their own home whether they get off on it or not.

It's a happy day for filth!

and a sad day for uptight repressive weenies everywhere
