I mean how much more liflike violent can a movie get, it's shot like a documentary y'know. Blair Witch was R rated and that was a crap, coulda been PG13. This has some pretty good effects and profanity so why not R? Is it such a stigma anyways, lol I saw 5 year olds at Freddy Vs Jason lines in theaters get in, add some more gore JJ let's get them 5 year olds what they want!CBOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03783744700332108713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-36340613808653099682007-12-13T14:34:00.000-05:002007-12-13T14:34:00.000-05:00Oh...trashcan, good.thx dennis, sry i got upset on...Oh...trashcan, good.<BR/>thx dennis, sry i got upset on ur website.<BR/>The unrated version of die hard has the cursing? good! then the series hasnt been ruined for me.<BR/>im fine with this movies rating dont get me wrong.guesstimate joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11682690018990035717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-46929512888221382622007-12-13T13:43:00.000-05:002007-12-13T13:43:00.000-05:00Cowpattybill said...

Their ratings are often arbitrary (with exactly the same types of violence or profanity rated differently in different films based on favoritism to certain film studios and other factors). It also discusses how the NC-17 rating is the kiss of death for a film because no theaters will show such movies and the big movie rental chains won't rent them either. Which means if your movie is rated NC-17 that you have to change your movie exactly the way this anonymous group of people tell you to or your movie will not get released.Pinkhamsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05791620431728841393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-37628815940696800652007-12-12T22:55:00.000-05:002007-12-12T22:55:00.000-05:00I can't believe anyone cares at all that this movi...I can't believe anyone cares at all that this movie isn't rated R.

You can have great movies without massive amounts of gore. A LOT of R movies even GROSSLY exhaggerate the use of gore to the point it isn't even realistic anymore. <BR/><BR/>Like people said above, Jurassic Park and War of the Worlds were great examples of pg-13 movies that were still realistic.<BR/><BR/>The only real gripe I have about it is really the immature 13 year-olds I have to share the theater with.ThatGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12452084545373391691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-9643012372344384282007-12-12T21:52:00.000-05:002007-12-12T21:52:00.000-05:00nickel i agree some what with you, but i have only...nickel i agree some what with you, but i have only seen one person "explode" so you cant say that this movie will have exploding "people" in it.

Expect really toned down lines in what would otherwise be a high-stress situation that would cause at least more than one F-bomb to pop out of me.<BR/><BR/>Also for a film that is going to have a gigantic monster killing thousands of people, and perhaps even people exploding...there isn't going to be much gore at all. When people get a giant statue head launched at them or stomped on from a giant foot...flowers and puppy-dogs don't come pouring out of them.<BR/><BR/>I'm expecting a very watered down film now, all for the sake of getting kids into the theater. But that is the norm these days and JJ has to get paid. Oh well. As with most films that should have been R but dropped to PG-13, the dvd release might right the wrongs.BHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04077367351313870946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-33388485037787010222007-12-12T18:48:00.001-05:002007-12-12T18:48:00.001-05:00Ooops, still forgot the link.

My point is when JJ thought about this movie he didnt want to make a movie that adults would say was good he wanted a movie that the whole world would say was good(of all age).<BR/><BR/><BR/>I think he really wanted the movie to be seen by teens because when they have kids they can tell there kids about the best movie of the 20th century, CloverField. My parents told me about little shop of horror and war of worlds. So JJ didnt want a movie for ratings he wanted a movie that would be remember (he wanted a American Godzilla and you cant make it happen with a rated R movie).BranJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468847377215421780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-39016951598494131542007-12-12T15:53:00.000-05:002007-12-12T15:53:00.000-05:00From Unfiction Forums:DougBThreeVeteranJoined: 25 ...From Unfiction Forums:<BR/><BR/>DougBThree<BR/>Veteran<BR/><BR/>Joined: 25 Jul 2007<BR/>Posts: 103<BR/>Location: Florida<BR/> [PRESS] Paramount to Advertise Cloverfield on Mobile Phones<BR/>Exclusive Film Clip?<BR/><BR/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR/>Here's a link to an article about some new Microsoft "technology" that's being used to push ads out to cell phones.
