Interesting. The ratings for violence might have changed since my ratings book was published.
I wasn't talking about my personal tastes, I saw Kill Bill because I love violence and I wanted to see if Quinten would try to make a serious film. Like i said, i'm talking about a marketing angle. People like Kill Bill because it's a live action anime, if it were originally an anime, it would have sparked very little interest in the states, when we're talking about millions of people and dollars. The Crazy88 scene is a good example, when movie going people saw that, they refered to it as genius and profound editing, it made it more than just a big fight scene. If it were in color it wouldn't have produced that response from the movie going public.
Just curious, in the animes you guys have that are rated R with no sex or nudity, is there cursing? people using drugs? or people frankly talking about sex or drugs? because those things can certainly push it to R. The ratings board works in mysterious, prudish ways.
