News around the net is that "The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies" Extended Edition will be released with an R rating.
What's up with that?
Nobody seems to know, yet. The official word from the MPAA is that it is due to "some violence" - as if the movie wasn't violent enough already.
Considering the MPAA's track record (soft on violence, but real hardcore on people being naughty with their bits), I would have expected Elf on Dwarf hot tub action - Tauriel and Kili, or Legolas and Fili (they both have fabulous hair), or whoever you want to ship (and strip).
I guess the faneditors are going to have a real field day with this one, and we'll wind up with even more fan versions. :-)
