Scene - Blogs - New Twilight shows fangs skin

New "Twilight" shows fangs, skin

"Sexuality/partial nudity" caught my attention when the Motion Picture Association of America on Wednesday released the rating for November's highly-anticipated "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1."

The full MPAA rating of PG-13 says the newest edition in this series features "disturbing images, violence, sexuality/partial nudity and some thematic elements."

I can still remember parents who scolded me for not informing them before loading up their little ones for the multiplex of the scene in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" in which a delusional Ron believes he sees a partially nude coupling of Harry and Hermione. That movie was rated PG-13 also, with a note for that scene that the MPAA dubbed as "brief sensuality."

So be warned, mom and dad (and all the rest of you who weren't aware that kids as young as five or six show up on opening weekend for "Twilight" movies): "sexuality/partial nudity" probably comes in at that point after Bella and Edward get married and before a birth occurs, if you know what I mean.

The adults know what I mean, and that's good enough.

Of course, the next question becomes: real, or stunt bottom? It can be very hard to tell with today's technology, not that I'm looking that intensely. Really, I'm not.

His or her stunt bottom? :)

Tulsa World Movie Critic Michael Smith (last year)

Both? It is currently unknown....but (no pun intended) I have a hard time imagining it being any other part of the body.

“I was born a poor, black child” … not me, actually, but Steve Martin’s character in the “The Jerk.” That absurd opening line is just one of the absurd number of film facts, quotes and minutiae contained in movie critic Michael Smith’s brain, at his disposal to toss out on a moment’s notice. It’s a key requirement as Tulsa World film critic to know these things. Michael learned a few other life facts along the way (seven years as a Crystal’s Pizza & Spaghetti manager) before attempting journalism and joining the Tulsa World in 1996, where he’s covered everything from a school shooting in Fort Gibson to a tornado in Stroud to witnessing an execution. A little community theater coverage was sprinkled in there, too. Movies engender many of his happiest memories, from standing in line for “Star Wars” and “Grease” at the Southroads Cinema to the James Bond and Pink Panther movies that always premiered at the enormous Continental Theater.
