Reply to comment by farmersboy70 in The Martian by Andy Weir - which version is better? by [deleted]

Ah, that makes sense! I don't remember how I watched it the first time (I want to say "streaming service" but don't remember), this time was TV and it definitely started before the watershed

If you're watching it here in the UK, they usually cut that line at the end about 'farming in shit'. Makes the scene very awkward, and is a pointless cut.

I am! And I'll look out for that (on plus hour so it's still going, but nearing the end)

One of mine and my mum's favourite running jokes is "Matt Damon's poo potatoes" because of that

Yep, cut.

Why would they cut that line? It didn't seem particularly offensive and there were other swears so it doesn't seem like it was for the sake of completely cleaning it up either

Beats the hell out of me. You should what they do to the remake of Hellboy, its nearly as sanitized as the remake of Hellraiser.

Been a while since I've watched that movie, but sounds awful

There are some splendid scenes at the end, when all sorts of demons ruse up and kill people in all sorts of ways...most of that is cut.

That is terrible, especially compared to some of the stuff they do put on TV...
