Aparently, they intend on releasing the film "The Dreamers" uncut with an NC-17 rating. Could this be a new era of NC-17?

[Fanible]

Nope

[droidguy1119]

Not really. The whole reason NC-17 is unpopular is simply that those films are not marketable, the audience is very small. Until somehow that changes, NC-17 will remain basically unused.

[Tenaciousd1212]

NC-17 videos = Unrated. NC-17 will be the most rarely used rating. The only NC-17 i now of now was Orgazmo, which has an UNRATED DVD coming out.

[Optimus Magnus]

man you guys are such losers with your NC-17 bull****.

[droidguy1119]

Whatever. I don't think NC-17 is anything to whoop about.

[Dracula]

there is a ton of "unrated" movies out like Requium for a Dream

[Dracula]

anyway I'm glad they have the courage to come out and say "We don't give a **** if 2 letters and a number make things any different for you"

Striptease was NC-17...

[Argo]

Yes, I agree I may be biased but I prefer the system used in Australia. When it's an R rating, then no one under 18 is allowed, so you know that there will be sex scenes (but not X graphic) and swearing, so only adults can see it. R in Australia is the only strict one and there really aren't that many R movies.

From what I gather R in the U.S.A. doesn't really enforce much and too many movies that are quite tame are put in that category and makes NC-17 too controversial and complicated.

there are sex scenes, that aren't X grapic in american R's

[Argo]

I'm talking about more explicit sex scenes that you would only see in Australian "R" rated movies and not in American "R" rated movies. For instance, Eyes Wide Shut uncensored was rated "R" in Australia and, because it was, it was uncomplicated as to who could see it, and it was uncensored. The rating system in America caused that movie's sex scenes to be altered and compromised.

[Radiohead]

i say go rent a porno.

[Argo]

You missed the point. I'm talking about the freedom to tell a story and knowing whether adults or children will see it.
