Obey The D

Julie Walker

And that's just a few of the noticeable addtions to the film.



The R version was still violent,but even I could tell where some of the cuts in the aformentioned sequences were.

Yeah, Julie the trailer sequence was longer and I think maybe added some disturbing elements, but outside of that if it wasn't for davisdvd, I wouldn't have noticed any of the others.

Maybe I am more mad at the MPAA. what's really the deal with seconds here and seconds there?? Can we just axe the MPAA?

Oh well. Still the unrated version didn't change the overall film, but more gore is okay.

I enjoyed the unrated DVD a lot. It kicked the movie up a notch and made everything more intense without changing the movie, which I was glad about because I liked the movie as it was. The ending was stronger here too. Good movie.

The sound was great on this DVD. I am glad my neighbors aren't too close, as I totally would have bothered them with it.

It was moved to Movie Talk.

We don't really need to get rid of it, but we should probably use it more as a 'suggestion' like in other regions, versus how it is 'law' in the US. Also movie studios need to stop being scared of it.

Personally I think they should just expand the R rating to be inclusive of everything they would put in the NC-17 category. R is for adults, it shouldn't be limited.

At least, that's my view on it.

Yeah but the USA is more uptight than other countries over things. Other countries can handle violence and nudity on television better than the USA can. The United States has always been in the habit of complaining when something pisses somebody off, and then a group bands together and makes some changes. You can't make anybody happy over here so the MPAA has to walk that fine line to try and keep everybody as happy as possible, so although it's a humongous pain in the ass over here... I can certainly see why what the MPAA says is 'law'. I don't agree with it, as I don't think you really build any character for any generation by catering to all their whiny bitchy complaints... but again, I can say I see where the idea comes from.

Well, there does need to be some sort of dividing line as far as kids go. I was shocked to see parents bringing little kids into screenings of The Hills Have Eyes. This movie is not for little kids. If R and NC-17 were the same, would parents be able to bring their kids into NC-17 films? I hope not.

mzupeman2

Eh, that's the thing with NC-17 being 'no children allowed'. But hey, if a parent is really stupid enough to drag their kids into a horror movie or a movie like Showgirls when they're young as hell... that's the fault of the parent. But of course we live in a world where parents have absolutely shit to do with responsibility. Parents do what they do, and if they did it well, fine. If they didn't, then they accept no responsibility for what they've done. All of a sudden it's 'oh the music' or 'oh the movies' and blah blah blah. It's sad we have the R rating there for adults, but little kids can still be taken in if they're with mommy and daddy. I had seen kids in Final Destination 3... what the hell? That's pale in comparison to The Hills Have Eyes, but still... some of the scenes in FD3 are enough for any kid. Why do we have to feel that we need to place limitations so that parents won't use proper judgement? Can't they figure something so simple out for themselves?

yea i agree.

Kind of off topic question, but does anyone know how to get rid of the air bubble inside the blood pack of the BB exclusive? I kind of have an OCD about it, and it just bothers me in the slightest way. If there is no way, I guess I can live with it, still a very nice exclusive!
