That's kind of a bummer, it's seems they've been buds for years, been looking forward to seeing them collaborate for a movie ever since Ninja showed up with the prawn arm in Evil Boy.

Going back a couple of pages but yes, the plot of Taken 2 was that Liam Neeson and Famke Janssen get kidnapped by the relatives of all the guys he killed in the first movie. Although that whole bit is just a small part of the movie and most of it is just Liam Neeson killing his way around a foreign country.

Why they would have wanted Eminem is even more of a mystery. He's probably a worse person.

Despite it being a Futurama Tales of Intrigue short stretched out into a feature-length film, and despite is starring Adam Sandler (and his entourage), I'm kind of excited for Pixels. Aliens invading with tactics based on 80s arcade games is the kind of stupid-but-great premise that I wont pretend to be above seeing.

But will it have a female love interest for Sandler who is with a white Republican rear end in a top hat that Sandler needs to save her from? edit - I wish Chris Columbus was writing it instead of directing it.

The children use a rope swing to go to the area they pretend is a magical land called Teribithia and one day the boy goes to a museum trip and the girl uses the rope swing and it breaks and she dashes her head on rocks below and drowns.

I don't see a huge distinction between the latter two (other than the fact that children dying is inherently more distressing than animals dying, but then again they are sentient talking movie animals so it sorta balances out) Corek posted:I just want to see how many small children are brought in to this R-rated movie. I remember hearing that during District 9 some people were covering their kids' eyes during the Vikus torture scene. You guys REALLY need a proper system where you can't bring kids into unsuitable movies. In the UK anything over a PG has an absolute age cutoff; you cannot bring someone younger than 15 into a 15, or under 18 into an 18. Most R rated movies end up in one of these two categories, it's like NC 17 but not financial suicide to release a movie with that certificate.

No, being able to keep kids out of those movies is the best because it's a perfect system. If those kids can't see them in the theaters there is no way they can possibly see them. Problem solved.

My parents followed MPAA guidelines with me for the most part, then they let my brother watch Black hawk Down when he was 6. Good going assholes. My dad happened to walk in on us watching Borat during the naked fight, that didn't go over well. He was giggling while trying to yell at me.

Fatkraken posted:I don't see a huge distinction between the latter two (other than the fact that children dying is inherently more distressing than animals dying, but then again they are sentient talking movie animals so it sorta balances out) First of all, Terabithia was rated PG, so your point here is kind of irrelevant. Second of all, this isn't really possible with our current system. Our next highest rating after PG is PG-13. 13 year olds don't have any sort of state issued ID, so the only way to prove their ages would be to show birth certificates, which is totally impractical. Furthermore, a system like that can easily be circumvented by purchasing a ticket to a different movie. Some theaters will check IDs at the door to the auditorium for R-rated films, but that's generally only on opening weekend for films that would attract a lot of minors (horror or comedy for example). By our rules, anyone 21 or older can purchase tickets for minors to R-rated films, but also must accompany them to the film. All of this is pretty hard to keep track of at a 20+ screen multiplex.

Either you think little kids can see it, you're not sure, or they can't. PG-13 seems to exist as a rating only to excuse exposing kids to conspicuous violence and objectification of women.

I think there's some sort of lamentation that kids these days won't get the joy of seeing a PG film and having it turn out to be 2 seconds of boob in but let me assure you people that kids exist in a world where they right now have access to more boobs than most people in this topic had in their entire childhoods. It's not the same world anymore. Boobs are no longer this forbidden asset that is found in boxes in the woods.
