It's kinda my birthday today

[Jerkface]

someone did in one of my classes where they brown townyzed how the NC-17 rating was essentially a death sentence for a movie because they get no publicity and don't get shown in theaters.

...uh... you did right there.

Rated R means 17+.

Rated R means 17+.

NC-17 and R are two different ratings. R means Restricted, and people under 17 can only be admitted with an the accompaniment of a parent or guardian. NC-17 means No Children Under 17, and no children under 17 may be admitted at all.

NC-17 movies can be played in theaters. It's just rare and usually don't make a lot of money.

Apparently the NC-17 rating was reworded to "No One 17 and Under Admitted." at some point. Anyway; http://www.mpaa.org/ratings/what-each-rating-means

Also: since these ratings are about admissions obviously they can be shown but I believe mainstream theaters avoid showing them.

I watched a documentary about how no major studio will make a NC-17 movie because it's impossible to get in theaters and advertisements have certain restrictions. But I imagined some indie or horror movie would go NC-17 as a gimmick. Actually I think the documentary received a NC-17 rating, but I'm surprised there hasn't been more made with the rise of indie film and all that jazz.

R is 18+ but you can get in with a legal guardian, NC17 is no one under 17 at all, and I thought X was only for TV but I guess it can be used for movies as well.

When I met Bubbagum she wanted to watch 21 Jump Street but her mom said "It's rated R, you're not old enough to see it." I almost went off on a tangent about how the MPAA is a corrupt, abusive organization that should not be respected in the least, but I decided to keep quiet. You're right, though. A documentary named "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" that exposed the faults in the MPAA received a far overblown NC-17 rating for what would normally earn a film a PG-13 rating. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Film_Is_Not_Yet_Rated

R is 17+ or parent, NC-17 is 18+ ONLY,  X was disposed of around 1990.

NC-17 is 17+ only, not 18.

NC-17 is 17+ only, not 18.

17+ means 17 or up, but NC-17 means No-one 17 or under admitted, which means 18+.

[Mr Man]

17+ means 17 or up, but NC-17 means No-one 17 or under admitted, which means 18+.

Oh, my bad, I thought it was no one under 17 which would mean 17 and up.

Hi, welcome to being a human being. Today I'll teach you how a conversation works. It's easy, you begin talking about a starter subject (like turning 17) then find a point on that subject (like newfound abilities) that you would like to discuss, then begin expanding upon that topic (the difference between R and NC-17 ratings) until the subject is now different. This is how conversations are perpetuated.

Are you going for a license..?

This is my first time going up. Twas quite the experience.
I'm starting to work up for one, though.


I'm suprised that whole 17 thing caused such a discussion!

Yay, a fellow pilot
