    I'm waiting for social media to complain about the lack of minority actors. How can they win token nominations of they don't get token castings?

    What color was the paint?
    I used to be so grossly incandescent like you, until i took a ceaseless discharge to the knee.

    I find the use of white paint when we could have easily had colored paint to be racist.

    All paints should be represented equally and fairly in cinema. Purple, red and green need more representation.

    The thread title should be "guy pays bbfc 6000 quid to watch 10 hours of nothing".

    I'd do that, someone gimme 6k and I'll watch 10 hours of a still image.

    The US film industry owns our film censors, not the government. It was brilliant move, the film industry put their censors in place before Congress could act. So I can't see something similar happening here because the film creator would be screwing over his own people.

    The MPAA rating board is not necessarily an improvement.

    The BBFC confirmed it had awarded the movie a U certificate along with a note warning that the description of the film "may contain spoilers".

    It was crowdfunded and received a U rating. Apparently they have to really pay attention in case of something like flash frames as seen in Fight Club.
    1) Load the amount of weight I would deadlift onto the bench
    2) Unrack
    3) Crank out 15 reps
    4) Be ashamed of constantly skipping leg day

    Looks like the censors weren't able to brush this one aside, I suppose it paints a pretty good picture. Hope they appreciated dry humor.

    It would have been hilarious if they had hidden some pornographic imagery in between some frames, so they can't just skip through it. Heck I would have helped build them something that moves the camera around so much that they can't have a stable image and can't search for patterns. .

    Not that I'd put it past a brony, but it's mentioned several times in the one page long thread this is. Come on, man.
