Saw II Trailer Too Gruesome For MPAA

Last year’s cult horror fave, Saw will be followed by Saw II in October. This year’s advertising, which features severed fingers, was released without approval of the Motion Picture Association of America which must approve all movie advertising. Saw II movie distributor Lion’s Gate Film said, Friday, it would contact websites and request the offending trailer be removed as well as request exhibitors to return un-approved marketing materials. Unfortunately, there’s no Undo button on the Internet. You can compare the original photo, easily found with a little help from Google, accompanying this story with the cleaned up version on the official movie website.

I raised my children the way I was raised — with high standards, clear expectations and not much room for emotional mess — and spent my 60s learning that what I’d experienced as good parenting they had experienced as a home where being imperfect was quietly dangerous, and that the distance my youngest maintains isn’t rudeness or ingratitude, it’s just the amount of space she needed to finally feel safe

I’m 66 and I just realized I’ve spent my entire adult life cultivating the kind of personality that makes me easy to be around and impossible to actually know — and the loneliness I feel now isn’t because people don’t like me but because nobody has ever met the actual person beneath the performance
