Just a brief response to whether or not Stone had anything to do with the targeting/marketing of this film... If he was not interseted in attracting the teenage audience (or at least the mass public at large) then why would he fight to give the film an R rating over the NC-17 the film was originally given. And please don't give me the usual studio line of how some theatres won't run NC-17 or papers advertise them. You get a whole heck of a lot more people seeing an R movie. He's in it for the bucks - not for getting an "important social message" out. Greg Day Editor, Bill Nye The Science Guy Show Seattle [log in to unmask]
