With you perched on muh dick, babe.

So you know how R-rated films in America have a tendency to cut content to fit a PG-13?

The internet is doing that anyway, but copyright trolling and the toxic culture of hollywood is hanging onto it.

I think I know which movie you referred to, if you were referring to a specific one? In Paranorman, arguably a kids film (though there's some other scenes parents would find disturbing), the joke about a character being homosexual really outraged people who thought it was a 'family' film. I thought it got a pg13 rating though.

Well I wouldn't call myself silly for saying it's outmoded and used primarily for business purpose. So as long as we're talking out of our asses here, I think it's pointless and has outlasted its original use, which most people don't hold as a value system anymore.

I really dislike seeing it used to censor and essentially blackmail filmmakers.

It is indeed arbitrary. I'm still not convinced that it's bad (as in ), personally. But I am sure that movie studios aren't going to change shit. They've made a label that they can put on most movies that will cause most people to feel comfortable watching it. People who care in the way you say, that is "enough to look up alternatives and to talk about it publicly" are a vocal minority. Most of the masses don't care enough to look into how the ratings work or to look for an alternative. All they know is that PG-13 works for them and their family, and that's going to be the safe bet for them. They don;t really care to look at it past that.

You'd be surprised with apps and shit nowadays. The site I was thinking of was https://www.commonsensemedia.org/. Parents that care enough to complain about dodgy content in so called pg/pg13 movies make comments and describe what they see, on that website. It's actually funny how some of it is described.

PG had tits back in the day (while I wasn't existing.)The current rating system is flawed, but necessary. It could use some reconfiguring but that's not going to happen any time soon. It more or less serves its purpose for studios and mothers alike.

tbh I see more people (who actually care about the ratings) use those websites like familysomething or other that document everything potentially risky in the movie, than who pay attention to the ratings. Most of the kids I knew were either brought to rated R movies by their parents or the parents didn't care if they watched them. It's sort of like the outmoded standards for network tv. No one cares about them anymore except to appease a certain segment or for business reasons. I see the mpaa system used more often than not to push around movie makers and threaten to torpedo their chances of a decent box office, than any affirmation that it's actually helping guide anyone.

Like the 2 fucks rule, that seems awfully arbitrary.

I love that you're stuck at work like me during the day.Doivid, I see you on in the mornings. You should post more than in the damn Minecraft thread.

lol my sleeping schedule is horrible sometimes. But I'll try to post more elsewhere. I think most of the impetus to post int here is over with now anyway.

Well then the current system is a bit flawed for that.

I laughed. I'm glad you appreciate my occasional sass.

I love it. I'm just going along like "What is this, what does this title mean? What's going on in here?" Then I scroll through random posts and I get to yours with something deadpan and it's like you're sitting at work with your arms crossed just making comments to amuse yourself and it kills me.

I actively search them out now. :x

Why do we need mpaa ratings at all, if we're being logical.
