Word of warning: the theatre where we walked out of the DiCaprio film also showed a trailer for an upcoming comedy called “Bad Words” about some adult entering a kids’ spelling bee. That was also a constant stream of offensive language, much of it aimed at children.
What’s up with Hollywood? Who approves these story lines, and how do they get in theatres. The DiCaprio film was rated “R”. I think that it should be “X”. I don’t know the rating for Bad Words, but it also should be X. The theatre claims that it asks for IDs and doesn’t allow kids under age 17 in. I say BS. Nobody checks IDs. We go there regularly and usually one of us buys the tickets for all 4. Nobody checks to see who actually uses the tickets. nybody has access to the lobby where they wait for the person who has all 4 tickets to enter the theatre.
The “R” rating to “X”, is a cliff in the industry.. The only reliable ratings are, “G”, and “X, IMHO.. Knowing they couldn’t bluff a PG 17, which is the safer bet to draw the teen market and adults, thus the most reliable movie market.. They push the envelope on the middle ratings..
PG, loses the Millennials, and older adults, PG 13 is a dud with only families with grown children as the only available target, today’s teens hate this rating in recent years, and you are correct, no one challenges the younger costumers unless it is so obvious that other adults will/might, complain..
Today’s R movies should all be rated X. Or XXX.
We quit going to R movies over 20 years ago. Since then R has gone from soft porn to hard porn.
Poison.
As predicted, simply part of the plan to destroy our nation morally from the inside, lower the moral bar until we collapse morally as a people - which is already occurring.....
