Looks like Ang Lee's new film Lust, Caution is too sexy for the MPAA.

The awesome part of the article -

"The MPAA ratings board cited the film's graphic sexuality for its decision. A source said too many of the film's sex scenes violated the ratings board's unwritten rules (like the number of allowable pelvic thrusts, for example) to make an appeal possible.

Sources who have seen the film said it contains at least three scenes -- one a long montage -- featuring multiple acts of aggressive sexual activity in different positions. There's no full-frontal male nudity (the source of some NC-17 rulings when shown in sex scenes), but male-on-female oral sex, non-S&M restraints and several nontraditional sexual positions are depicted, conveying the aggression and emotional conflict between the main characters."

This gives all of us more incentive to go, because seriously, when was the last time YOU and a group of your friends went to an NC-17 film screening. My last NC-17 screening was 9 Songs, which blew (literal and figurative). Before that was a shitty French film called Base Moi, which means Rape Me. The usher described it as a pornpgraphic version of Natural Born Killers with the lesbian action of Bound. I was seriously let down, to say the least.
