15. I would agree on the bloodier the better part
There's no doubt they have an insatiable blood lust. But I disagree on the overall larger point. Their pressure over Janet Jackson's tit is what led to the fines which is what led to stations deciding to pre-empt the broadcast for fear of getting levied with a huge FCC fine. I personally don't think the FCC would fine over this movie, especially considering a precedent was set years ago with the broadcast of Schindler's List. No fines were issued then and the film was aired un cut and it could be argued that movie is every bit as violent as Saving Private Ryan.
