restructr!

I had a very tame and mild love scene with Jon Hamm. It was like heavy breathing and making out. It was hardly a sex scene … I think that it’s great for this young girl to actually take control of her own sexuality. Well, the MPAA doesn’t like that. They don’t think a girl should ever be in control of her own sexuality because they’re from the Stone Age.

I don’t know what the fuck is going on and I will openly criticize it, happily. So essentially, they got Zack to edit the scene and make it look less like she’s into it. And Zack said he edited it down to the point where it looked like he was taking advantage of her. That’s the only way he could get a PG-13 (rating) and he said, ‘I don’t want to send that message.’ So they cut the scene!

I’m torn. I want an ‘R’ (rating) because we can get a lot of cool scenes into it, but then I like the idea of younger girls being able to see it.

seriously, this is the world. women enjoying their sexuality is not okay, women being forced into it is what gets you a lower acceptable rating. see also: blue valentine.

this is ex-fucking-actly what i mean about rape culture. like, let’s put aside for a second that female sexuality is totally downplayed in wide-release (and indie, for that matter) films..and focus on that wording “edited it down to the point where he looked like he was taking advantage of her.” How is it that a scene in which a man “taking advantage” (code for RAPE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT) of a woman will get you a more “child-friendly” rating than a consensual scene? Fuck no, rape culture.

Ugh. The MPAA has to get the fuck out.
