yeah - i just read a couple of reviews that discussed those changes.  the
orgy scenes weren't the ones that were stilted to me, though.  one review
mentioned some abrupt editing that was done after his death, but i guess
that had nothing to do with the rating.  maybe that is what i was seeing.
there were a couple of places in the beginning that seemed awkwardly cut,
and i assumed that it was because there were more scenes that had been cut
out due to the ratings problem.  that makes me feel better - knowing that
plot elements weren't missing, just cut (in my opinion) badly.
