Because all those G movies are filled with loads of scrumping...

Is this seriously what Congress has been worrying themselves with, the fucking rating of some obscure Christian movie? For fuck's sake.

Newsflash: The MPAA is an anonymous group of people who rate things subjectively.

If you didn't know this, and you paid them 500$ to review your movie, then you are dumb.

I thought I was the only one who used "scrumping". Huh.

I was under the impression that exposure to religion was something that fell under parental discretion, no? Surely the G tag is applied to movies ALL parents should be comfortable letting their children see?

Idiot senators abound.

I liked listening to a Kevin Smith director discussion on one of his DVDs...he's basically like "yeah, they can't tell you what is specifically over the line. That's too much like censorship. You can suggest what kinds of cuts might be appropriate, and see if they give it away."

And then you make the cuts.

the trick to faking out the mpaa is do what american pie did.

shoot jim on the table, tablefucking a pie. the mpaa says no, then you put in the shot that everyone saw of jim fucking the pie.

morons. we all know fucking while standing up is hotter.

He also just got Clerks II reviewed, and they gave it back to him and told him it was fine, with an R rating.
That left everyone very confused to say the least.

You know, if these people are right, and the movie got a PG for the fact that it was explictly evangelizing for fundamentalist Christianity, then the MPAA did its job. That's something a parent would want to know, that they should consider if they want their kid to see it or not within what they want them to know of religion.

This is more fundamentalist propaganda to keep up the bullshit notion of a "war on Christianity".

What?!? You mean the ratings process is subjective?!?

OMG! Who knew?

This guy. That's why he brings you "objective" reviews.

OMG, that site is awesome! Now I can know for sure all the ways in which the "anti Christian Hollywood" movement is subversively twisting the youth of our nation against the lord! Oops, I meant The Lord!

i just hope this doesn't inspire Cingress to try and federally mandate movie/tv ratings, or get Holywood to pass another Hays Code like way back in the day

"This incident raises the disquieting possibility that the MPAA considers exposure to Christian themes more dangerous for children than exposure to gratuitous sex and violence," Blunt said in a letter to MPAA Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dan Glickman.


I have been saying THIS for years!!!!!

They only have to threaten to do so, the movie industry always buckles like pilgrim shoes.

The last time Clinton yelled at the movie theaters, because they were not actually enforcing the ratings system by checking ID. Since they never have had to, because the ratings system is a GUIDE, not a restriction. He threatened to start regulating if they didn't make corporate rules to enforce the rating guidelines.

I find it a bit odd that these same republican god bullies who can't define obscenity, indecency, objectivity, WMDs, etc., suddenly find a defined border in media. Jesus, can't be obscene, the Passion of the Christ should have been a "G" rating as well I suppose. Even the director's cut with an extra 45 minutes of scourging.
