Question: what's so special about the "unrated" version of DVD's?

1. They're not rated n/t

2. You get to hear more naughty words and see more naughty things.

3. I really haven't noticed that

maybe I've been "desensitized"?

7. probably have been...

But, I remember reading about the "unrated" version of Basic Instinct. During some sex scenes, they substituted some distance shots that showed a lot of skin for the original close-ups of just the faces & shoulders. Granted, the scenes contained quite a bit of skin in the original, but the re-cut scenes showed even more.

4. It's a marketing gimmick

5. 4 extra minutes of deleted crap the censors made them cut out

to get the "rating" they needed, from PG to R. And of course, hours and hours and hours of ego shit of the producers commenting on the zipper closure rate of the star's costume.

I ALMOST fell for it today with the Alien vs. Predator DVD, but realized I need $15 more than the extra crap. (I bought the original movie, used, at Blockbuster for $5.99 anyway.)

8. that's the movie I had in mind when asking this question

:D

I bought it at original release from Target for about 12 or 14.99.
