According to Paul W.S. Anderson, this is his director's cut. He says he didn't cut the film with a specific rating in mind, and was actually shocked when it got a PG-13.

And it's one of those rare movies you can watch over and over again even after you know how it ends, because that insight actually enhances repeat viewings. I get the feeling the same will be true of The Village.

The general rule on the f-word in PG-13 films is that it is limited to two utterances, and neither of them can be of the motherf*#ker variety. If you require this to enjoy the movie, I pity you, but I understand, since you would be in the majority.

What I was pointing to in my earlier post was the fact that any rating below an R in the US is meaningless, since anyone can walk into a G, PG or PG-13 movie. Rating systems in Canada and other countries make much more sense. AvP will be rated 14A in Canada, which means that under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Many films the MPAA has rated R (including T3 and the Matrix movies) have been handed this rating, as have many PG-13 rated movies (Chronicles of Riddick, Starsky & Hutch and Scary Movie 3 come to mind). It all goes to the arbitrariness of the MPAA.

What I'm thinking is that Parsons may do 70s style music for the score if he doesn't go orchestral.

I liked Signs too, although Unbreakable is still my favourite.

My guess is that the MPAA figured that alien on alien violence is less damaging to the young psyche than alien on human violence, or some other rubbish. What the US needs is a rating system with some teeth; a 5-year-old can walk into a PG-13 movie unaccompanied.

Here's a screenshot of the rating on the webpage, if you doubt me:

Love the reasons posted for the rating underneath; how about you?

But I'm wondering if Parsons will do an orchestral score or something more contemporary with the time period of the film.

I think both trailers for The Village were heinous examples of mismarketing of the same magnitude as the botch job Warner did with The Powerpuff Girls Movie.

Anyone been to the official website lately? AvP got a PG-13, if you can believe it.

Bringing this back on topic in an organic way... Alan Parsons, who engineered Dark Side of the Moon, is doing the music for this film. Any word on if it's going to be strictly a "hits of the era" score, or something with orchestral flourishes and such?

You're asking for reasoning from a DVD label?

Both rock stations here play Floyd all the time. for an interesting cover, check out Primus' version of Have a Cigar.

I'm with Bossk on this one. On a (slightly) related topic. I picked up the Thunderbirds International Rescue Edition box set. Not to be confused with the TV series, this is actually 2 movies done with the puppets in Techniscope in 1966 and 1968. Good, kitschy fun with very cool special effects for the time.

UM HELLO!!!!! ITS A HORROR MOVIE!!

so since then its been completely re written & re shot.......i expect it will be as much a bag of arse as Exorcist 3 was/is!

However, take comfort in the fact that Warner plans to release both versions in a special edition DVD next year.

I still think it should have been included as a special feature with the new DVD set, just to prove there are some things GL can't CG his way out of.

Not true. Fox just entered a deal with Criterion which included the release of several 70s art house titles, like Altman's 3 Women. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is scheduled to be released by Criterion soon in all its X-rated glory. Roger Ebert will be beaming with pride (and likely provide a commentary).
