We updated our previous post about Blue Valentine's cunnilingus scene earning the Michelle Williams flick an NC-17 rating, but the news that the rating was successfully changed to an R deserves a post of its own!
After an appeal from Harvey Weinstein himself, the MPAA allowed Blue Valentine to be downgraded to R... and the breast news is that its doing so without the filmmakers having to excise the rug-chewing scene.
Michelle's costar Ryan Gosling (the box-muncher in question) said in a statement:
“I am so appreciative that the MPAA was gracious enough to reconsider their rating of the film. I can’t express how grateful I am to those in the media who stood up for the film and put their reputations on the line in using their voices to support something they believed in."
What does this mean for Blue Valentine? It means that it will get a wider release (technically, NC-17 films aren't allowed to be screen in non-porn theaters) and that more people will have a chance to see the lovely blonde Michelle extremely nude, which in Mr. Skin's world. is the most skinportant thing. In the meantime, take a tour through Michelle's past skin scenes here. Your lap will want to send her a valentine.
