DIRTY PICTURES: The NC-17 rating for 'A Dirty Shame' gets John Waters worked up about marketing, pornography and his unlikely career: "To acknowledge his appreciation of his longtime distributor New Line (which releases Waters' films through its Fine Line art house subsidiary) and co-chairman and Detroit native Bob Shaye, Waters appeared before the Motion Picture Association ratings board to ask them what would have to be cut to get 'A Dirty Shame' an R-rating.
'They said it was impossible, that it was the 'tone' of the entire movie. Now, saying my movies have a 'tone' is like saying Britney Spears has an idea. It's an undeserved, or at least accidental, byproduct. "
