Full Version: Kevin Smith Wins Appeal For Film Rating
Yay! I am looking forward to this film.
We'll see...I was disappointed by Clerks 2.
um what?
this isn't Clerks 2...
this isn't Clerks 2...
Okay, "I was disappoint by the director's last movie."

Smith explains, "We didn't set out to make an NC-17 film. That's just commercial suicide...
"They felt it was rather sexually graphic. My point is, it was comically graphic. All the sex in the movie with the exception of one scene is very cartoonish, very campy. It wasn't designed to titillate." And Smith is confident the title alone will filter out audiences who could be offended by the content: "Anybody not inclined to see a movie with `Porno' in the title is not going to see it, so it kind of regulates itself to a degree. And anybody who is going is not going to be surprised by what they see."

I guess common sense isn't good enough for the ratings board...

It's Kevin Smith. Everything he makes is some type of sequel to Clerks.
