GL for Graphic Language.
LOL...that's a new rating to me. I'm presuming it's a Cable-centric rating rather than the MPAA, but I had to laugh when I saw this tacked onto Zombie's Halloween 2 a little while ago.
I gotta say the movie isn't too bad with the sound turned off.
Every so often, I watch movies I love with the sound turned off to see if I can understand the story with the visuals alone. If I can, that's a mark of a great script and a really good director imo.
Right now, Enzo Castellari wins hands down, Keoma is amazing silent. Certainly much better than when the shitty "score" is blaring out everything but the awesome visuals. Carpenter works silently too, but the dialog and music so damn great it's a sin to shut it off.
Guess I'll add Zombie to mix of directors who can really tell a story with visuals alone. I kind of knew that anyway given Rob's eye, but... it's pretty neat to see it.
I bet he'd crack up if he saw his movies labelled "Graphic Language."
All this said, I think the Graphic Language will work wonders for Tyrannosaurus Rex. Just knowing the genre this will be in has me giddy and wishing that Lords of Salem is a huge hit so Rob can make T. Rex as raunchy, gory, crazy and fun as he wants.
Anyway...
