R-Rating Becomes More Cautionary

Published by Kaonashi March 16th, 2007 in News.

I think this is good news. I’m tired of seeing dumbass, clueless parents bring in their poor children to sexually explicit or violent films. Then again, this doesn’t necessarily stop dumbass, clueless parents if they don’t read the rating in the first place.

Its a nice idea but I doubt it will stop parents from bringing their kids. When I saw 300 there were three couples with infants, and at least a dozen other children under 12 there. I admit I was one of the underage kids in the R movies, but it was because I had the grace to sneak in after buying a ticket to something else, my parents never said “Lets go to the movies, I hear Predator is a nice family flick”

Andrew- It seems that your parents read the ratings. My parents took us to all sorts of violent movies when I was little. They never read the ratings. Oh yeah, we watched Predator. They rented Silver Bullet and I had nightmares from watching it.

Then there’s the parents who took their 5 year old to watch The 40 Year Old Virgin. That kid did nothing but yammer during the movie, and I can only imagine what the parents thought when the lesbian sex scene came up (one of the characters is trapped in a room with a large screen TV showing a porno flick). Mercifully they took the brat out about halfway during the movie.
