Apparently there's a bit of a stir about it, as it doesn't appear to deserve the rating. But coincidentally enough, hardly anyone ever sells movies with NC-17 ratings. Just the cartels keeping "dangerous ideas" out of the publics hands perhaps? Didn’t that movie get an NC-17 rating recently?

Today you go into a rental or browse the shelves of a store, not rated is only a way to say to the kids, "It's still got the good stuff in it". Not rating the movie or reissuing it without a rating is just another way to say, this one's an R but if we don't put it on the box, then no one is going to kick it out of the store for carrying a rating we don't allow. Nothing more than playing with loopholes to keep the same old crap out there and milk the customer once again. Absolutely want to see that new movie that just hit the rental shelves, go ahead rent it. Shortly after the splash is over, here comes the not rated version. Want to see what you missed? Rent it again in this version. So your paying twice to see the same thing with a few minutes here and there that wasn't in the rated verision. This is Hollydud playing with the loopholes and figures and nothing more. *Hint* After it comes out, that one you gotta see, just wait, there'll be another along shortly and you can save your money and only spend once. Do understand, I'm not a prude, I've nothing against the X rated, other than there are a few subjects that shouldn't be done, such as children. However, call a spade a spade and quit fooling around with loopholes. Ratings only work when they are used. Still this is nothing more than a scam to milk the customer of a few more bucks for the same one. Its the format wars version of music. Not Rated is a funny way to say it.
