Hahaha... "Did you, or did you not, bump uglies with my sister?" I caught Tango & Cash on TV the other day, and couldn't help thinking to myself what a great videogame that movie would've made. I'm thinking low-thought FPS. I certainly hope I've associated your quote with the correct movie. Really? That's all? Well, hey, I swing a mean doorknob-on-a-string, and I'll soon have an animated gif that will surely make me the envy of the board. |

I certainly hope I've associated your quote with the correct movie. You certainly have. One of the finest lines Stallone ever uttered, right up there with "Rambo is a pussy". A nice, thoughtless FPS? What would you shoot endless waves of, immense jaws? Old men doing one handed pushups? Kurt Russells in drag? |

I know that one single F-word can jack the rating up to an R Granted the conversation has swayed a bit but since I didn't notice anyone else mention this, I'm gonna. On the PCU director commentary, Hart Something-or-another says that a movie is allowed one f-bomb in a nonsexual context in order to stay PG-13 (thus the evolution of David Spade's "sucko"). Or at least those were the rules when PCU ran the gauntlet. Al -driving his legless horse down the sidewalks of ineptitude |

If it's an F-word used in a sexual context, it's automatically an R-rating. If it's not (like an adjective), you can use just one in a PG-13.

That's a fascinating line to draw. I always find it funny that we abhor the mention of sex to kids, but we shriek like banshees if they hear a word in a mean context. Or even better, it's okay for a robot to shoot people, but don't show him sleeping with anyone.
Did that make sense? It's still early here.

I concur. It's just another example of how the MPAA is unbalanced and unrealistic. Also, how people from different societies have come to place a heavier denouncement on some topics than others.

Ah, but Beetlejuice was rated PG. Was it released before the days of PG-13? Can't remember- I know the rating was created in response to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Gremlins...

Yeah, and that's an anomaly. Beetlejuice is PG, came out well after the PG-13 rating, and has one F-word in it. Yet again (sighs and waves his hand) an example of how inconsistant the MPAA treats films.

Yeah, they definatly did get stricter. I remember in North (which was rated PG) they let a swear word slip.
And yes, I saw Love, Actually and it rocked. I mean totally rocked. I mean, it was really funny at parts, and it actually earned any sappiness that ever appears. Hugh Grant would also be a much cooler PM than Tony Blair.
