Yes, me too, which is partly why I posted the article. I thought it would resonate with folks here.

This is how my news read on my cellphone. Well, I get CNN sent to me daily and I got this on Friday. Will Ang Lee's name be replaced with "Brokeback director!" :) I guess Brokeback in a headline news sentence is more likely to get one's attn then just saying ANG LEE's latest...
WIth a headline like that, I didn't know if the media was trying to say that Lee keeps pushing the envelope with more racey sex material, like what is he going to do next. Am I being too sensitive/concerned how the media is going to typecast an Ang Lee film? ;)

News always goes for sensationalism to sell the news.
When ever there is an accident with a train for example, they don't say "kids in a stolen car drive around lowered crossing gates and meet their unfortunate death", no, they say "TEENS WITH WHOLE LIVES AHEAD OF THEM RAMMED DOWN AND MURDERED BY BARRELLING FREIGHT TRAIN".
To me, yeah, it's a little insulting they referenced BBM to a NC-17 rating, but on the other hand, it's more free press for folks to watch BBM, and then they find out how great the movie is, and how the sensationalism of linking it to an NC-17 headline was just unwarranted and silly.

The link to the New York Times article is here. There are a couple of nice pictures.

Just off the wire, Taiwan is unhappy that the Venice Film Festival is saying country of origin for LUST, CAUTION is Taiwan, China. Taiwan says it's not a province of China, but it's own country. I can see international incident all over this. ;) Between the NC17 and the dispute as to which country is submitting this film, it's bound to get a bit of publicity. I hope it's a good film.
