Author Topic: What do you do with risqué posters? Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-23-2011 09:21 PM                        Hey, there's not title -- slap the title across her boobs. But I like the idea of just letting it stand and then seeing how your audience reacts to the nipple. You know the old saying, cut a nipple off with a chainsaw and no one raises an eyebrow; lick it with a tongue and they want to hang you by the dick hairs. Be that as it may, just leave it up and if you start getting lots of complaints, you can then slap the title or "No Yet Rated" cover-up over the offending pierced nipple. Or you can even use it for a bit of self-promotion; if you start getting lots of complaints, agree to take it down in the interest of modesty or morality or decency or whatever else seems to motivate the personally offended types. Try to get some local reporter to cover the "controversy" which taking down a sexy poster certainly will be construed as. Whatever, I certainly wouldn't fret over it -- take it down, leave it up, you still come out a hero to one group or the another.  |  IP: Logged Tommy Zackariasson Film Handler Posts: 31 From: Ed, Dalsland, Sweden Registered: Aug 2011 posted 09-26-2011 04:02 PM                     quote: Aaron Garman That is a pretty risqué poster for the States since everyone is such a prude. Agree Aaron and yes it is fantastic, the original is Swedish  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular.

They are uniformly excellent. I'm really looking forward to the Sony release.  |  IP: Logged Mike Rivest Expert Film Handler Posts: 185 From: Montréal QC Canada Registered: Nov 2009 posted 09-27-2011 05:07 PM                     In Quebec they used to censor the movie posters. This one was banned. http://www.impawards.com/1981/for_your_eyes_only_ver1.html The theatre had to paint over the legs in order to get it passed, newspaper ads were also censored.

I know Bruce, just some swedish prejudices about Americans shining through...but I know there is a lot of funny beeps and blurrs on TV over there... Don't get me wrong, I've visited the land of the free many times and I like it, especially the people, the generosity is unbeatable! Tommy  |  IP: Logged
