I dont see why The Matrix was rated R that made no sense there was hardly any blood.
i saw this and because of that i brought this thread back.For a great sense of the MPAA and how/why they rate things the way they do, go check out "This Movie is Not Yet Rated"
I was puzzled by the MPAA's rating of the theatrical cut of Army of Darkness.
^I also thought Batman Returns was like one of the scariest movies I saw when I was younger...the part with the princess falling to her death and Max's BBQed body creeped my out.
Although The Dark Knight was violent for a PG-13 it still deserved its PG-13 rating. If they showed blood and brain matter when Joker shot someone in the face...then yeah, I can see the reason for the R.
However the most violent PG-13 film I've seen is probably Beowulf, I know its animated but that film should've been rated R...people get their limbs ripped off, impaled, someone even gets his head chewed by Grendel really slowly.
The Evil Dead and Cronenberg's Crash are considered to be NC-17 and those weren't cut.My one issue with the MPAA is their R rating system. It's a power move for them to force directors and studios to cut films down in order to get an R rating. IT'S AN R RATING!! Is it need that they used the NC17 rating as a power move for personal reason to get studios to cut films down to get an R? What's the differance? Not only is the NC17 rating stupid, but it basicly says "Even though you are an adult, and you decide what your child sees, we're going to tell you that even YOU can't have a say in what your child see's with you".
And they use that rating just to show power over studios and directors and basicly say, 'you don't agree with us, so you're movies NC17 and you're going to have to cut this out in order to have your movie released' or they use the R rating also to get PG13 movies out by cutting things that don't really need to be cut.
MPAA are just a bunch up tight people who think they have the right to decide what you should see. And the bad thing is, they are not even Hollywood people. They are the corner stone of citizens chosen for their prudish nature to please higher ups in congress who forced this upon Hollywood. Damn Tipper Gore and her ignorance.

When was the last time you saw a preview or tv spot for a film that said 'RATED NC-17' COMING SOON!??
how ridiculous
sex is a part of life.. heck sex is life
i personaly think watching someone engage in a sex act is far more needed than seeing someone get eye burnt with a oxy torch
