SundanceTV: edited for TV, or not?
I saw that "The Wrestler" (2008) was on SundanceTV the other day, so I went to watch it knowing Sundance airs movies uncensored, and not the edited-for-TV version. This movie would suffer severely from TV-Editing in my opinion.
But for some reason it WAS the edited-for-TV version (no swearing, no nudity, violence intact). I've never seen this before on the Sundance channel. Does anynody know what Sundance's deal is here? Was this some kind of mistake on their part? A broadcasting rights issue? Did they change their practices and now edit their movies like AMC? It seems pretty random because I've seen other movies after this that were uncut/uncensored.
