Okay, wait, I do have a comment. Or a question. Suppose the film wins the Oscar for "best picture." The version that people will now pay to see won't be the picture that won, now will it?

'The King's Speech' to get a PG-13 re-release | Inside Movies | EW.com: "The MPAA announced today that The King’s Speech will be re-released by the Weinstein Company with a PG-13 rating. The film had famously received an R rating for a scene in which Geoffrey Rush’s character encourages Colin Firth’s King George VI to curse like a commoner in order to help him get over his stutter."

I can't believe it--that's so idiotic, I almost hope the movie doesn't win Best Picture.

OK, now you didn't miss anything.
I love the "curse like a commoner" line, as if royals don't swear.

Since I just recently discovered that some of my ancestors from 800 years ago were members of England's "privileged" class, I certainly don't want to hear King George "curse like a commoner." However, since it's really only Colin Firth doing it, who gives a #%@!?
The reclassification doesn't mean any change in the film. THAT's how meaningless the ratings are...approximately as meaningless, except commercially, as are the Oscars.
