Sam Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 The stupid 1 "fuck" rule is what prevented Hugh Jackman's Wolverine cameo in XM: FC to be more awesome. He should have been allowed to say a few more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Beezy Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Titanic was PG-13!?Yeah, go figure. It probably got away with it because it was artistic nudity. As in she posed nude for an artist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 The stupid 1 "fuck" rule is what prevented Hugh Jackman's Wolverine cameo in XM: FC to be more awesome. He should have been allowed to say a few more That was still pretty funny. I'd rather he didn't go overboard with like 5 f-bombs since it'd ruin the joke. Considering the language I hear at school (I counted 60 f-bombs by a group of kids on my bus), what's "appropriate for children" is pretty much the same as adults Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Yeah, I know. That cameo is funny and effective. I was just kidding Though it's messed up of the system when if he had said one more "fuck", the rating would change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) The odd thing is that Wolverine said it in a sexual context ("go fuck yourself") which is generally forbidden for PG-13 films Edited April 11, 2013 by 4815162342 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can use "motherf--ker" in a PG-13 film. Edited April 11, 2013 by Alpha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) America should be more like Europe. Lol, European movies(which I've been watching a lot more of lately) are definitely more ballsy. I just saw Daisy Diamond with Noomi Rapace for the first time, and shes naked and having very graphic sex scenes for like most of the movie. Theres no fucking way that movie wouldn't have gotten an NC-17 in the US. Stuff like this isn't that uncommon in Europe.

Tower Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Get rid of it entirely, any child could see hardcore graphic porn on the internet if they want to anyway, so stopping people from seeing films because of much milder things is just silly.

CoolioD1 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 My problem w/ the movies only getting to say fuck once is that sometimes it feels like they're just kinda forcing it to be an "edgy" pg13. Like when I watch a PG-13 and someone says fuck once it takes me out the film for a second, but compare it to a film like End of Watch which uses the word 326 times (srsly, look it up) and it doesn't really bother me at all.

I agree the ratings are stupid and arbitrary, but the general point of them is supposed to be so parents can determine if they want their kids to see a particular movie. It's harder for parents to control internet, unless they look over their shoulders the entire time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a general push towards the "middle" these days. I remember Ang Lee saying the studio demanded someone say "damn" so Sense and Sensibility wouldn't be given a G rating. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs also had a gratuitous "damn". Edited April 11, 2013 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnY Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 There's a really nice documentary about the MPAA, it's called This Film Is Not Yet Rated. It shows a number of directors who had a really hard time cutting scenes from their movies in order to get a R rating, because a NC-17 just kills your marketing opportunities and most cinema chains won't even show it. There are other issues discussed in the movie: The MPAA members are anonymous, sometimes members of the church help deciding the ratings, gay sex scenes and female sexual depictions usually get higher ratings... Even Blue Valentine almost got a NC-17. And this part (Careful, NSFW http://youtu.be/ZT5l_mGIcTA?t=26s)of the movie shows different ratings given to movies with gay sex scenes. Also, the Fuck rule is retarded. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) I think its grotesque that Amelie and Hostel have the same age rating This. It really shows how twisted those MPAA people really are. They are probably closet perverts. Edited April 11, 2013 by The Futurist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
