Zack And Miri NC-17 Jul. 24, 2008
Source: Cinematical
by: Daniel Barna

Ladies and gentlemen, the MPAA does it again. Kevin Smith's latest ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO has received the ratings kiss of death. NC-17. The reason? "Some graphic sexuality." So let me get this straight. In the last year onscreen I have seen women raped, heads blown to bits, limbs removed from bodies and Ryan Reynolds attempt to act. Yet somehow, a low-budget comedy that I will assume deals with sex comically and realistically is forbidden to those with an untrained eye. Now the overwhleming task lies on the shoulders of one Kevin Smith to chop this film all the way to an R rating and make it commercially viable. Goddamn I love Hollywood.

Extra Tidbit: GRINDHOUSE was orginally rated NC-17 but was chopped up to obtain an R rating. We all know how that turned out.

Please stop making news stories a soap-box for your opinions on movies/actors...we don't care what you think about them, but we do care when it's brought up for no other apparent reason than to get people angry.

DVD MAKES RATINGS KINDA POINTLESS ANYWAY
Every movie gets "Unrated" editions these days, so it's not as big a deal to have movies cut for theatrical release like 10 years ago when VHS was still dominant, and there weren't as many "Director's Cuts" or one of the 1000 other alternate versions easily available.

Why is it okay for stores to sell "Unrated" DVD's, but movies in theaters have to be rated? All unrated really means is they haven't been submitted to the MPAA, so why can't a movie going to theaters do that? Either way, the system is bogus.

LAME
Hey hey hey, I like Ryan Reynolds!

I think it is a bit ridiculous that this is getting an NC-17, when these dime-a-dozen horror movies can have graphic violence, nudity, and much more, and they gets R's. I mean you can even have mass violence in PG-13 movie now-a-days. I just think the MPAA as a whole is pretty bogus.

The MPAA, ever since I can remember, has always been much more strict when rating low budget and/or independent films, but much more lenient on big budget studio films that need a certain rating to make their money back.

Basically, if the MPAA applied the same standards to EVERY film, could not be bought, and if all theaters would show movies of any rating (other than porn), there would be far less reason to complain about the MPAA.

Thisis bullshit. Rambo had bodies torn in half, women getting raped, little boys getting abused, KIDS getting blown up with limbs, heads and intestines thrown about. But this is N7-17? I know its prob cuz Porno is in the title. Whatev

I heard Grindhouse didn't have problems, which surprised the hell out of the filmmakers. Then again, maybe they pre-emptively cut the film.

Personally, I think since Smith is not stranger to the MPAA, and this thing is a comedy about porn, they oughta just keep the NC-17(or unrated) and make a huge viral campaign so people still turn out to see it.

And this coming from a guy living in the so-called Bible Belt.

Kevin Smith should pull a Michael Bay and get Stephen Speilberg to use his awesome powers to protest the rating and get it changed to R without anything major changing. I swear I think they dont like Kevin and its probably the fact porno is in the title

If this remains NC-17, I won't be able to see it till DVD. No theater around here will touch it, Bible Belt and all and I am deep in it.
