Great news. The MPAA has overturned the NC-17 rating on the Derek Cianfrance-directed Blue Valentine (which was filmed in Scranton and partly at Albright Memorial Library). The film will be given an R rating with no cuts after Harvey Weinstein (head of BV's distributor The Weinstein Company) personally argued his position in today's appeal hearing.
