That and I'm one of those freaks who has never touched weed. If you were born in 1985, then you know so little that you're technically classified as a retard in 23 states. But I'm sure your state isn't one of them...

Dude. did pink floyd actually have a hayday? Also, I don't think the whole Pink Floyd/Wizard of oz thing broke until around 2000. Or did I just miss it all that time because I loathe pink floyd?

I live in Texas, we're pretty lenient on retards, I'll be honest.

I mean I watched Midnight Cowboy, and I thought it was a great movie, but I didn't see why it was originally rated X compared to the movies of today. I can appreciate Airplane more than the spoofs of today, and I know that there were a ton of disaster movies in the 70's so in 1980 when Airplane was made you could catch the references. But one thing that makes the spoof movies entertaining for this generation is that we catch the references (because for the most part the movies they are spoofing are less than a year old), now don't think I actually saw anything past Scary Movie 2, but from the previews I can tell you what they're referencing. The rating for Midnight Cowboy really doesn't make sense by today's standards. But it was a pretty big deal when it won Best Picture despite that. And spoofs... Does anyone else really appreciate the wit of spoofs from the 80s and 90s more now? Scary Movie started the downward trend of what parodies could do. What are we getting now? Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans and Superhero Movie? Ugh.

Posts: 7704 (08/15/08 4:46 AM) Annoying sports freak Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	re: Midnight Cowboy Controversy The sex scenes in this movie were considered shocking in 1969. There were only bare breasts and buttocks shown, though there are brief gang rape scenes of both "Crazy Annie" and Joe. While the MPAA was prepared to give the film an R rating upon their initial viewing, the co-chairman of United Artists, Arthur Krim, insisted upon self-applying an X rating on the advice of psychiatrist Aaron Stern, later to become an official MPAA ratings board consultant. It soon became the first X-rated film to win an Academy Award. At the time, X ratings had not yet become associated with the pornography industry. Late in 1970 United Artists had the film re-submitted to the ratings board in order to change the rating to R, increasing the number of screens it could play on in re-release, since many theaters would not play X-rated films, and many newspapers would not accept advertising for them. Some modern critics assume an unstated homosexual relationship between the main characters, and at the 78th Academy Awards, host Jon Stewart joked about Brokeback Mountain being an Oscar contender despite its subject matter, saying "It's been more than 35 years when people would watch Midnight Cowboy and say 'What the hell was that all about?' Well, now we have fully accepted this new genre of cinema: gay westerns!" Breasts and buttocks??? That's it?

I don't think Midnight Cowboy had anything offensive on A Clockwork Orange, but it seems MC got more grief. Well in retrospect, I should say.
