Watching this thing, you can’t help wondering what director Anne Goursaud, writer Chloe King and the producers thought they were doing.

The theory behind putting them out on separate disks is, presumably, that interested persons under the age of 17 can watch the R-rated version with parental supervision (feel free to write in if anyone of your acquaintance knows of instances where this has actually happened). However, apart from students of MPAA thinking, are there really people who are going to watch the R-rated version, thinking, "Yes, I’ve just rented/purchased this film with strong sexual content, but there’s only so strong I can stand ...

He's written novels and adapted them for the screen; he's written original screenplays. He's directed scripts he wrote, and scripts other people wrote; he's directed scripts based on his own books and, as here, based on novels by other people. You'd have a hard time finding another figure in movie history with that particular set of accomplishments. And he usually does it all quite well -- sometimes, as with COMA, even better than that.
