when the status quo frustrates.

Every cloud has a silver lining

So I finally got around to seeing This Film is Not Yet Rated and while it is full of very disturbing information, I was pleasantly surprised and relieved to find out that Stone and Parker were well aware of how excruciatingly bad that uncut puppet sex scene was. I always heard that they’d made it ridiculous to screw with the censors, but until now I’d thought they were pleased with it nonetheless. Hey, my roommate is their target demographic and he thought the whole thing was brilliant.

    I really enjoy that movie, because I found it interesting to examine the different framing: the writers and directors are talking about how their sex is safe, and that violence barely gets a blip, and then the MPAA people are talking about how sex is dirty, and parents don’t want their kids seeing sex (never mind that if it’s rated R, they won’t be anyway) and totally ignore the issue of violence.

    I was mostly surprised to find that fully half of my standard sex routine is considered aberrational and gets a movie an automatic NC-17.
