In Reply to: RE: So, sarcasm aside, why do *you* suppose H'wood makes so many unprofitable f'n R movies? posted by clarkjohnsen on June 14, 2007 at 09:47:42

Making movies is always a gamble. The big budget sequels sometimes bring in hundreds of millions, and sometimes they don't. They cost a fortune to make. Smaller cheaper movies that appeal to adult audiences can also be financially successful. An R-rated movie like Once, made for a pittance, can become a breakout hit...as it seems to be doing. And why would one change the all but perfect dialog in such a movie for a PG-13 rating? Their decision to retain the R language has turned out to be a correct one on both artistic and commercial grounds.
