Hee. I just like the music because it makes great shower singing music.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ang Lee's new movie got an NC-17 rating.
"Lust" follows a young Chinese woman in Japanese-occupied Shanghai during World War II who becomes the center of a plot to seduce and kill a married enemy collaborator. The trailer for the subtitled Chinese-language film shows lead actors Tony Leung and Tang Wei in various states of writhing passion.
The Motion Picture Assn. of America's ratings board cited the film's graphic sexuality for its decision. A source said too many of the film's sex scenes violated the ratings board's unwritten rules (like the number of allowable pelvic thrusts, for example) to make an appeal possible.
Sources who have seen the film said it contains at least three scenes -- one a long montage -- featuring multiple acts of aggressive sexual activity in different positions. There's no full-frontal male nudity (the source of some NC-17 rulings when shown in sex scenes), but male-on-female oral sex, non-S&M restraints and several nontraditional sexual positions are depicted, conveying the aggression and emotional conflict between the main characters.
When asked if anyone was shown, say, upside down, one viewer said, "It depends on where you're standing. They're very flexible."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

How many are allowed?
That's the kicker - from what I've read, the ratings board won't say how many, they'll just say too many. Because they are not a censorship board. @@ 4-evah.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I must see this movie to determine exactly how many pelvic thrusts are shown. It's important to know these things.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
And it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insay-ay-ay-ayne....
Sorry, sorry.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Bwah! That makes me hope someone goes into an MPAA appeals hearing with their movie and points out the percentage of pelvic thrusts compared to the number in Rocky Horror that still allowed an R rating.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think you can thrust away as long as you don't have a partner.

Huh. I just watched the trailer for Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. It looks like it might ... not suck. Like it might be an okay return of the franchise.
