Weinstein is challenging the rating and it's very possible the film will ultimately earn an "R". I'm just confused as to how this rating came about when there's not even nudity in the film...? Plenty of other films depict rape, incest and graphic murder, but still receive only an R rating. Two that come to mind off the bat, Precious and Hostel.
All that aside, the film looks great. Really dig that song Ryan Gosling sings in the trailer.
I've never heard about this movie until now, and I just watched a clip. Wow, this looks absolutely fantastic! The dialogue is absolutely incredible. Such a dark level of humor, and yet so light at the same time.
The acting seems really good as well. The leads have strong chemistry. I'm looking forward to this one.
Oh Bruce, always making me feel grateful that I'm not you!
This movie looks good, I've been looking forward to it for a long time. The MPAA is a joke and each time something like this happens I lose even more respect for them. I mean, I already have no respect for them, but I hate them more I guess each time they make asinine decisions. If you guys haven't already seen the doc "This Film is Not Yet Rated," check it out. You'll share my hatred.
Anyway, I'll definitely see this movie, I just want it to be released the way the filmmaker intended.
Looks formulaic.
Like the usual demonic marketing group sat there and earned their 150K by saying we need an edgy indy film.
Lets use the junky actor and the wife of the dead talent.
I don't watch movies to look at reality.
I watch them to expand and sometimes escape it.
well i gave an opinion about this film, you should realize that since 2004 people have to right to express an opinion of what they think.. you may love this and i may not.. it is simple as that.. if you want to make it something more, let me know and i will ask a global mod to stop by and perhaps have a chat with you
Don't hate Snakeeyes for being an ass; that's just his way. Movies are srs business for him.

I have seen that documentary. Nicely done at parts and obviously biased at others.
I did not see anything in that film that warranted an NC-17 rating, myself, which made the movie even more "lulz."
I've been wanting to boycott the MPAA rating system for a while. Any of the films I do will not be rated by the MPAA (assuming I even make it that far).
That said, the opinions (minus Bruceskywalker's because his and my opinions match up an huge majority of the time) of the film has got me interested. I'll give this a watch. It had better be worth it, damnit!
Haven't seen the preview, but reading about it on Wiki, it sounds like a pretentious piece of shit trying to be more than it is.
Also have a feeling this "NC-17, but wanting an R" is made-up shit to gather interest and boost earnings. IIRC, Basic Instinct had similar nonsense, when it was nothing more than the barest peak at Stone's semi-fuzzy tw-t. Big deal.
But it isn't made up. If they get an NC-17, that's the kiss of death: few chains will carry the movie either in theaters or in rental stores. And the REASON for the NC-17 rating is garbage... part of the MPAA's usual "violence OK, sex bad" approach.
