No kidding. Wanted had a guy shoving a gun into a gunshot cavity in the head of another man and proceeding to shoot more people... tell me America, how is that less offensive than people having sex?

I mean, where do you think you came from? Did mom and dad order you from the baby factory?

As long as the intended version makes it's way to DVD in the not-too-distant future. It's still obnoxious, but the kind of obnoxious i've learned to expect as a part of life.

they should just put black bars over all the nudity in the theatrical version, then release it uncut for the dvd. that should maximize their dollars.

this is ridiculous. you can't even make the movie you want these days.

Again, the MPAA reveals itself to be utterly insane and incompetent.

Note to self: Guns don't kill people, Boobs do.

The ratings board is irrelevant. It should be phased out.

i dont get america when it comes to this sorta shit, im sure the majority of you movie loving americans dont get it either, but you produce the most fecking porn, show head explosions, torture porn and drug flicks a plenty but when a mainstream(ish) movie comes out with some tits & ass you all go apeshit, take the whole janet jackson tit episode, we here in the UK were offended simply because it was a terrible looking tit, but your press went buckmad!!?? what gives, how is unlimited violence more acceptable than some tits&ass??

Hmm, anybody here seen the movie? No? Really? Wow, shocking. Listen, I think the way we Americans flip out over sex is pretty ridiculous too, but all that I saw in this article was that the MPAA gave it an NC-17 over sexual content. Not one boob, not 2 seconds of penis, nothing. Maybe the movie has scenes of hardcore sex, who knows. All I know is that the first six people to comment on this article don't know either, they're just going off at the MPAA again. Its like the article on the dark knight from earlier today where it pointed out that people were defending that movie to critics before it even came out. Once you know the real reason this movie got an NC-17 then you can argue over whether or not its deserving, but the mere fact it got that rating doesn't mean that it automatically doesn't deserve it.

Now this is taken from the MPAA web site...

An R-rated motion picture, in the view of the Rating Board, contains some adult material. An R-rated motion picture may include adult themes, adult activity, hard language, intense or persistent violence, sexually-oriented nudity, drug abuse or other elements, so that parents are counseled to take this rating very seriously. Children under 17 are not allowed to attend R-rated motion pictures unaccompanied by a parent or adult guardian. Parents are strongly urged to find out more about R-rated motion pictures in determining their suitability for their children. Generally, it is not appropriate for parents to bring their young children with them to R-rated motion pictures.


An NC-17 rated motion picture is one that, in the view of the Rating Board, most parents would consider patently too adult for their children 17 and under. No children will be admitted. NC-17 does not mean “obscene” or “pornographic” in the common or legal meaning of those words, and should not be construed as a negative judgment in any sense. The rating simply signals that the content is appropriate only for an adult audience. An NC-17 rating can be based on violence, sex, aberrational behavior, drug abuse or any other element that most parents would consider too strong and therefore off-limits for viewing by their children.

The question here is why would parents have more of a problem with NC-17 than with R rated movies...?
In my opinion i think they should change these ratings arount and turn that R into what the Nc-17 symbolizes no children under 18 allowed, and have the nc17 rating as a warning for being (Not Compulsory for children under 17)

I am already sick of Kevin Smith. He's nothing more than an over-intelligent pervert making adult comedy. So, his sewer-ridden movies get NC-17 then an R on appeal and then bitches about it. He's SUCH a vicitm, you know. It's about time he and Tarantino (another MPAA whiner) drown an anchor.
