Wonder Boys DVD Question
Sorry if this has been covered. I did a search and didn't see anything.
I just got Wonder Boys from Netflix and when I popped in the DVD and pressed play a messaged came up that says.....
"This film has been modified from it's original version. It has been edited for content."
It is still rated R, but what gives?
Also, the theatrical trailer is NOT the theatrical trailer, but more like a video trailer.

There's a line about Alan Ladd's death that was removed. Here's the explanation from IMDB:
"In the theatrical version Tobey Maguire mistakenly refers to Alan Ladd's death as a suicide. After complaints from Ladd's family, Paramount removed the offending line in all future releases of the film, including home video. VHS and DVD releases carry a disclaimer, shown before the feature, warning that the film has been edited for content."
IMDB also has something about language being edited out, but I'm not sure about that.
