Watched “Silence of the Lambs” on Lifetime tonight. This was a compelling pop culture experience, firstly because, what the heck is “Silence” doing on the channel that keeps Lindsay Wagner employed in “women in peril” weepies? At first I was just too lazy to change the channel; I have the Criterion DVD of the movie that includes things like a cool second audio channel commentary, so I didn’t need to depend on Lifetime to show it to me. But then it became a classic case of “watch for the TV edits,” which were all too easy to spot since I know the movie like the back of my hand. The second question is, why can they show Buffalo Bill sewing up a suit made of women’s skin, but they can’t have a character say “asshole”? We are a strange and conflicted people.
