AVP movie rating

[Radar]

The MPAA rating system is strange and arbitrary to say the least. Long ago, violence got a strong rating while sexually explicit things like bouncing naked breasts weren't such a big deal. During the late 80's and 90's those roles were reversed.

In 1996 the MPAA reviewed one of the best westerns of all time, "The Wild Bunch" and gave it an X rating for violence so it switched back. Then we get Southpark and the MPAA allwed them to have incredibly violent scenes but were very upset about so-called dirty words.

I'd get rid of the MPAA all together and let parents decide.

I agree whole heartedly. As proven in The Matrixes, it seems like the MPAA will sometimes put r ratings on movies, not because they deserve them, but because an r rating may make the movies more popular. Face it, as also proven in Eminem's CD's, people like controversy or things out of the ordinary or whatever, which is exactly what is presented in many r rated movies

I don't like the rating system because it makes theaters think that they are better able to judge what is best for my child.

The theater here won't let me bring my own child to an NC-17 movie. Now, I dont' really have any such desire, but that isn't the point.

Dude, you need to see a doctor about that...

I'd hate to see you fall out entirely on us.
