“Will the Revolution be Rated R?”

Looks like the answer is “fuck yes!”

Here’s my advice:  social cons afeared of f-bombs should go anyway.  And then they should buy the DVD once that’s out and give it to their children.  Once the kids turn 17.

Still enough time to influence those votes — but for now, we only need adults to see it, anyway.  So be one and don’t let a politicized Hollywood rating put you off.  Remember, Bono was able to use an f-bomb during a televised awards show and we were told it was okay because he used it adjectivally.

Are we supposed to pretend the part of speech difference is somehow significant or instructive?  Yeah.  I don’t fucking buy that, either.

    Gaga evidently thinks the puke bomb is the future. Could be, the way things are going.

    But I thought producers put f-bombs in their otherwise innocuous films to earn that coveted R-rating.

    FOR THE PRESTIGE!

    And to avoid being thought “goody-goody,” also known as the kiss of death. Worse, even, than being Republican.

    Lady Gaga is just a copy-cat. First she tried to be Madonna and now she’s copying Justin Beiber.

    That works for action and horror films, di. Not so much for documentaries.

    Marcus ought to just bleep the last 3 letters of the word in the theatrical release, and leave all nine instances in. That satisfies the censors without diluting the message.

  5. sdferr says:

    Sure, why not? Originality doesn’t in itself create a trend. Only repetition can begin that.

  6. leigh says:

    I’m assuming there is no frontal nudity in this documentary.

    They could splice some in and it would qualify as art! then.

    Yes, this is the perfect way to ruin free publicity. Good job, guys. Let’s get a snarky, oh-so-not bow tie Daily Caller review and then quietly head back for a rehearing. Not, perhaps, start shouting in the streets that ‘The R is for Republican!” and getting breathy, how DARE you coverage from, oh, say, the entire LA and New York establishment.

    Be Breitbart: Quietly follow the game by their rules.

    Wait.

    Watched a 9:45pm showing of the Exorcist on cable Saturday (AMC I think), and they didn’t even cut the part where little demon possessed Regan repeatedly and violently jammed a crucifix in her pubescent box and screamed “Fuck me, Fuck me” at the doctors in her bedroom.

    But hey, by all means, we better watch the bad language at the theaters…

    Funny, I was yelling exactly that at Jim Johnson last night after that high fat sinker to Russell Martin, such is the lame-o depth to which our curses have sunk. Dollars to doughnuts he was yelling it at himself.

    Oh, I’m pretty sure they can go back and forth with MPAA a couple more times. Also, one must bear in mind that the filmmakers would have to get enough “How dare you?!” coverage to make them untouchable; otherwise, MPAA will make their professional lives hell for decades to come.

    Also, I’m uncomfortable with any plan that relies on the NYC/LA Establishment to behave in a way that works to my advantage.
