It's depressing how the stigma of NC-17 is so evident in the US. One of the reasons I'm glad I don't live there ;) {nm} numbersix_99 Dec 01, 11:54

not really. its more depressing that filmakers keep on trying to push the envelope by putting Oleg Max Dec 01, 12:02

I think the answer to that probably depends on the movie. It kind of sounds like in this movie, it was necessary. {nm} Ruthian23 Dec 01, 12:05

Disagree. The MPAA are Puritans that censor expressions of artful sexuality, while premitting violence. {nm} Antibody Dec 01, 12:12

both should be carefully reviewed. Oleg Max Dec 01, 12:34

How many NC-17 movies do they make, though? Not many. In fact, it's usually the other way. They make movies that might have been better Ruthian23 Dec 01, 13:04

Did any exhibitors refuse to show The Passion Of The Christ? Cinemark? Carmike? What about 300? Hostel? If so, I consider their conduct DTXbro Dec 01, 13:18

Why is sex or nudity unsuitable? Your premise is absurd and self loathing. Your body isn't sinful! {nm} tawdryhepburn Dec 01, 13:35

Hey, tawdry, if you are a coed (or wife of a dean, or actually any female with such a refreshing outlook) you are cordially invited to a DTXbro Dec 01, 13:54

He got lost retrieving the kegs... {nm} Otter Dec 01, 16:26

I'm a dude. And I managed to never set foot in a frat house during my undergraduate education (UCSB), but I'd just a digital one. tawdryhepburn Dec 01, 19:23

Not much hazing. You just accept your Delta Tau Chi name, like Dorfman and Stork did, which is provided by the Sergeant at Arms (me). Plus DTXbro Dec 02, 01:10

Like SHAME would make anything at a Cinemark anyway... {nm} dsbman Dec 01, 14:31

Marcus and Carmike Cinemas also refuse to book the film because of the rating. I talked to reps from both this week. {nm} HarryWarden Dec 01, 14:41
