| | Posted: | | | |  cool! Just one last thing: I picked up something odd in the .xod changes Northbloke suggested. There was indeed no longer the standard "adult" rating, but only "X18" and "XX". Mark traced this to the addition of the tags Adult=true in the XML for X18 and XX. I'm pretty happy that we have only X18 and XX (I don't have SA discs with these classifications, and chances are slim that I'll soon obtain any, except for curiosity value), but others might feel they still want "Adult" as well? | | | ---

| | Posted: | | | | I don't have any of these titles (to use an old term Blue Movies) but wouldn't it be safer to keep the Adult Rating, I know the new act says X18 & XX but this was only passed recently - what about older titles with just Adult...?
If we do keep I think we should only have it for Hard Core\Blue Movies with Adult or NR Rating...so as to keep NR clean for general release movies, therefore avoiding titles like 9 Songs, Shortbus (Unrated) & Ken Park to be marked as Adult... |

| | Posted: | | | | Did you know that the 1st Batch of Ken Park was released as PG - the video shops picked it up & Next had to fix it - there might still be a few in Hi-Fi Corp\Middle East Bargain bins. |

| | Posted: | | | | No ... that was a lekler groot glips!
I must actually still watch it. I bought it for R30 or so because the rating intrigued me but never got around to actually seeing (apart from reading a few reviews) what it is about! | | | ---

| | Posted: | | | | On of those dreadful coming of age movies – look I have a **** and you have a **** lets play naked for the nice camera man & so that the critics can call it art – maybe a jaded few but I’ve seen too many movies with the same plot line. |
