I don't think I'd take a stand until I saw how explicit the scene of simulated (or real) anal sex is.

I'd ask, too, if somebody (not you, Del) is trying to manufacture a controversy just to stir up publicity? I mean, how the heck would they rate it if it was really explicit simulated straight sex?  :-\

considering how Cohen behaved in his other movie, I am not too keen on seeing him 'expose' homophobia. not to be judging without seeing it, but basing my opinion on the 'subtlety' of his other work; it isn't gonna be pretty.

I am thinking of a gay couple I knew at another site, who were hesitant to show affection to one another at the airport. This crap is not helpful. it is MOCKING. it is mocking gay people (seriously who would act that way at an airport?)

I haven't been in many airports....do a lot of straights suck nipples when they greet each other?

But is this stuff NC-17 worthy?

I dont know, Del, Youtube does not allow nudity, sex, etc...so I have no idea what the entire film has in it.

After sitting through Mulholland Drive, Basic Instinct, Nine 1/2 Weeks etc., ad nauseum, and watching scenes such as a 40 foot tall Naomi Watts on the big screen masturbating, I daresay Cohen could hardly be much worse.  And none of those movies were NC-17.

From what I understand of the current "Hollywood Production Code," now known as the Motion Picture Association of America's film-rating system, the dildoes are enough to get the NC-17.
