So you were saying airplane movies are ones that you would normally never pay to see.
I get that.
There's also airline versions of movies.
And they come in a bunch of different ways.
Sometimes the airlines like commission companies to edit the movies that they're going to show.
Other times the studios themselves will make an airline cut where they edit out, you know, the...
the sexiest stuff or the most violent or gory stuff or like jokes.
Like you probably couldn't show any of the Austin Powers movies because of all the mean stuff about different cultures.
They figure out how to edit that out in the best way possible so that it doesn't screw up the plot, which was not what they were doing before when they showed the same movie to everybody at the same time.
It was just really clumsy editing then.
Airlines that carry a lot of Muslim passengers will frequently have like any references to pig or pork or anything like that edited out.
Singapore apparently is sensitive to scenes or movies with LGBTQ plus content, which means they can't get enough of it is what I'm reading.
I don't think that's the case.
And language, you would think like, well, they got to edit that out.
But that's not the case anymore.
It doesn't seem to have been the case ever since they started showing on demand individually selected movies because you listen to them through headphones generally.
But apparently there is a guy who runs a company that HowStuffWorks talked to, Amir Samnani.
He's vice president of content services for Global Eagle, which is like the big company that edits films for airlines.
He had said, he wasn't saying this to contradict Delta, but he said like airlines actually have a lot of say in what gets edited out.
