I don't want to talk to your parents.

Now with some R rated movies I don't see how they got the rating. I let my kids watch an R rated movie, but first I watch it and then decide. If I think its to gory or to scary, then no they don't get to watch it. Of course I can't think of any off the top of my head. Does that make me a bad parent?

Actually, use of the word "fuck" pretty much guarantees an R rating. Sometimes, if it only occurs once, you can still get a PG-13. I find it absolutely ridiculous.

I'm not worried so much about my kids seeing naked bodies as I am about them seeing violence and/or sex. I don't want them uncomfortable with naked, but I don't want them comfortable with sex yet, and I don't want them comfortable with violence ever.

From memory Snakes on a Plane got a much higher rating than it otherwise would for the line "Get these mf snakes off this mfing plane"

The writer was reviewing 'The Hitcher' and was seated behind a 4 year old and his dad. "It's scary. It's really scary. Can we go and come back when it's not scary?"

the worst is when I went to a rated r gorey movie at 11pm on a tuesday and there was a family with kids there ranging from 4 to 8! number 1 why the hell are they watching this kind of movie? number 2 why are they not in bed on a school night? know what I mean?

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles got a R rating just because of that scene where Steve Martin has that meltdown at the car rental place.

What kind of moron brings his kid to the hitcher? I didn't even see the remake but the original is creepy enough to imagine what a gore fest the remake would be.
