  • Kill Bill; I just have one question for that movie: How in the ---FUCK--- did that movie get an R rating?!!

  • Your favorite band sucks, and you have terrible taste in movies.

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>No seriously. I'm fucking serious. How much money did Q pay the MPAA to get that movie into an R rating? 1 million? 2 million? The MPAA has big problems with South Park, Orgasmo, [insert any future Trey/Matt movies], Eyes Wide Shut, Natural Born Killers, Summer of Sam, Casino, Sleepy Hollow, Boogie Nights, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre...

Jesus, I want a fucking anti-trust lawsuit on these fuckers for ruining the movie industry!</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>It got the R because he made some stylistic changes (the reason the long fight scene was black and white was to avoid the NC-17, NOT because that was his original plan).</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Tortolia's got this one, but I'd like to offer a supplementary explanation: Kill Bill is a comedy.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>So was South Park. It doesn't change the amount of blood in the movie. The MPAA needs a set amount of guidelines, and somebody needs to sue them to do it.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>The blood wasn't even vaguely realistic.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Not really. Both are unrealistic, which was your argument. One gets incredibly hounded by the MPAA, and the other barely gets any mention by them.</div>
