Things I hate: Unrated DVD editions

      The unrated editions of DVD releases are purely marketing gimmicks and never deliver on the scintillation that the “unrated label” suggests.  This label essentially promises more nudity.  Nudity so crazy that the dvd isn’t eve R but Unrated!!!  What they deliver is usually the same crappy flick with a couple of extra and completely worthless scenes.  What you realize after watching the unrated version of a film is that those scenes were left out for a reason.  If you’re going to put out an unrated copy of The Breakup then the extra material that gave it the “unrated status” had better be an extra scene where Jennifer Aniston performs fellatio on Vince Vaughn.

      So here’s an idea, if you’re going to put out an unrated edition of a movie, film it like that is your intention.  For example you’re making a movie… lets say… “The Bourne Douchbaggery”.  Go ahead and film a 45 minute hard core porn scene that won’t be in the original movie.  Drop that scene into the unrated edition.  This can work for TV as well since many of us watch TV shows online and on DVD.  Just film some scenes with nudity and a couple of blurted out “fucks” and market it as the R rated version.  You could film the same scene from Lost where Kate takes her top off but in the DVD she would be facing the camera.  Or, you could have a scene where Mathew Fox removes Sawyers appendix with his dong hanging out.  All I’m saying is make the DVD release like the HBO version of the show.  I’m totally off topic.  Anyway Unrated versions of DVDs are not the raunchy versions of the film that they promise.  They are just the same shitty movie with a couple shitty scenes that didn't make the first cut and that is bullshit!
