![]() on Aug 06 2008 07:11 AM In reply to this comment (#1956499) Looks more like the appeals board just changed the rating on the same version that the initial review board branded as NC-17. Hard to tell entirely from the wording though. I'm sure Kevin Smith will elaborate soon enough. (Reply to this) |

![]() on Aug 06 2008 08:42 AM In reply to this comment (#1956628) I'm inclined to agree seeing as how they filed an appeal and not just a simple resubmittal. Resubmitting it usually means the film has been changed and thus needs a completely new review where as an appeal of the exsisting rating is to have the same footage receive a different rating. I hope he releases another "Evening with Kevin Smith" after this comes out. (Reply to this) |

on Aug 06 2008 08:48 AM so did he change anything in the film or just make a more convincing argument upon appeal? if the former is true, then F that. if it's the latter, then right on. can't wait for the posters, the marketing and the legions of small children asking 'what's a porno?' i dunno, maybe they just won't put them in the most conspicuous places like on buses, in buses, bus stops and bus terminals. as you can see, bus-related advertising is really taking off in my city. I am glad that this happened, and frankly pretty surprised, which is why i'm wondering whether or not anything was cut in order to get the R Rating that I'm sure the studios demanded. hmm...

![]() on Aug 06 2008 08:57 AM Acutally Clerks got a NC-17 at first so did one of his other films. This happens occasionally. Smith felt like leaving it an NC-17 was unfair, being that it wasn't any worse than a hard R. Just MPAA bs. Sometimes they get offended by the stupidest thing. (Reply to this) |

on Aug 06 2008 11:16 AM In reply to this comment (#1957010) Ok, when you say "your city" are you talking Chicago, D? If so, confirm my theory: They closed the Michael Jordan restaurant because of the god forsaken nachos, right?... Right?! (Reply to this) |
![]() on Aug 06 2008 11:58 AM Well, I read an interview just a few days ago, and he was explaining that they were just going to argue that the NC-17 version should actually be rated R. And if that didn't work, he said he would go back and cut until they finally gave it an R. In this case, it sounds like they just agreed with his appeal that it didn't deserve the NC-17.

on Aug 06 2008 08:58 PM Right on Right on, Smith's the man. Glad it got changed for him, so it can at least make a little bank now. It will be bada ss, I'll be checkin it out no doubt about that. (Reply to this) |
