QUOTE Depictions of smoking in movies will now be a factor when deciding what a film's rating will be, possibly making a PG-13 movie R-rated, the Motion Picture Association of America said yesterday. The policy affects only new movies. Along with violence, depictions of sex, adult language and other content considerations, ratings organizations will examine new releases to determine if they glamorize smoking or if it is pervasive through the films, even among adults. Underage smoking has always been considered when rating a film. thats sweet. because there is smoking, it could be r rated. sorry al, UHF could become less family friendly. -------------------- 32-bit whore

QUOTE (James @ May 14 2007, 12:45 PM)  Maybe not a legal requirement, but definitely a moral obligation. What benefit is there to allowing the kiddos into an R-rated movie unsupervised? I think "moral obligation" is a bit of a stretch. QUOTE (Jessica @ May 14 2007, 12:58 PM) Yeah, but kids dont need to be seeing rated R movies Are you telling me that you never saw a rated-R movie without your folks before you turned 17? I'm perhaps biased because I was watching R flicks by the time I was 6 or so, with some restrictions from my parents (basically they didn't care about violence or language, but monitored the sexual content of what I watched). By the time I was a teen, my parents would've given the go-ahead for just about any rated-R movie I wanted to watch, but then you've got the whole requisite parental accompaniment bit at the theatres. Bit annoying, that. QUOTE (impala454 @ May 14 2007, 01:03 PM) i heard about some uber theater in chicago that has an awesome atmoshpere, either 18 or 21 and up, serving restaurant style food & drinks (alcohol too) and having large recliner sized chairs and stuff. i would pay much more for a regular ticket if it meant there wouldn't be stupid kids and there'd be ultra comfortable seating, with the option for food and drinks. Sounds vaguely like Alamo Drafthouse here in Austin? -------------------- |

My parents even took me to see Howard Stern's Private Parts in theaters.  I don't think I'm some morally f-ed up guy, but hey people can think what they want. -------------------- |
