Reception
Like many American films of the time, The Eagle's Mate was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, for the 1918 re-release of the film the Chicago Board of Censors required cuts, in Reel 2, of all scenes where men fall after being shot, Reel 3, man tearing opponent's mouth in fight, and, Reel 5, Fisher shooting her husband.[2]
gollark: Also, dependency management is pure evil.
gollark: Lua does have libraries, but they're not really as convenient as the quadrillion built-in Python ones. Though frankly many of the builtin ones are awful and you need external ones half the time.
gollark: I could probably replace much of my Python usage with Lua if there was a good set of libraries I could use for stuff like HTTP, filesystem access, Unicode string handling, string manipulation generally, and all the other random tasks I need.
gollark: It was implied heavily.
