I just don't see how violence alone can net an R-rated sticker anymore unless were talking its some kind of a gore fest. Maybe I too am just too desensitized to violence to view it as a OMG type of thing anymore, then again i like movies like house of 1000 corpses and the devils rejects. And I don't blame most parents, there just too much to censor to keep your kids unaware of all things in the world. a big thing is the internet. Hell my kid has been interested in the news and even politics for a few years. I remember him asking me what would possess a guy like Vince Li to eat parts of some kid on the bus a few years after the fact. Am i supposed to ban him from watching the news? I do watch movies i think he might like ahead of time and make a conscience decision whether its suitable or not, such as deadpool, which i know he wants to watch really bad, but i said not till hes older. That won't stop him from seeing it one way or another, but I just won't be that access to seeing it. I got in a lot of **** for letting him watch Zombieland when he was 8 - my thought process is when i was 8 i was already up to no good and thought he could handle it. He could... but his mom thought otherwise, even though she lets him watch the child's play movies (hypocritical ***** lol). I did however learn a lesson in there that sometimes i gotta stop trying to be the cool buddy dad and more of a better choice dad and since have really tried to limit the negative stuff he's exposed to when around me. But i can't compete with TV, the internet, print media and society (friends/school) and thats just life. He's got quite the opinion on the american election and the garbage Trump spews out, is watching batman kick the crap out of someone really the worst thing that kids can see lol ** Speaking of Zombieland just read this You let your 11 year old watch The Walking Dead? Do you let him/her watch GoT too?
The Unknown Poster Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 I was with the gf's family last weekend and they complained about their niece being allowed to watch Sons of Anarchy and then let it slip that their kids play Call of Duty. I thought that was a bit odd...

Jackmans last time playing wolverine, and its supposed to be pretty violent bringing a R rating with it. Patrick Stewart is also reported to have agreed to be back as professor X I've read and own Old Man Logan. It's good. The only R rated thing about it is when he slaughters......people....don't want to spoil it. There's no sex shown, only incest mentioned. (Hulk clan ewwww)

Do you let him/her watch GoT too? I wish i watched the walking dead with him lol i always have to have him back at his moms by 7pm sunday night so hes there for TWD. I'd watch it ahead of time, but after 6 seasons, TWD is pretty straight forward just a zombie show. he loves the make up and effects. Having watched GoT i might be a product of what TUP says with violence being acceptable but nudity and sex scenes being a more restrictive. I dont think he'd like GoT tho tbh, it took me 3 attempts myself to get into the show Edited February 25, 2016 by Taynted_Fayth

Logan007 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 24 minutes ago, The Unknown Poster said: Still dont get it. If the option is for both a PG-13 and R rated film, what difference does it make? Its not like they're talking about only releasing an R Rated version... The point is that you shouldn't R rate something that shouldn't be R rated. Batman and Superman and most of the DC hero's shouldn't be R rated. That's not who they are. There are a few anti-hero's like Lobo in DC. But as far as this goes, why R rate it? To me that's just Zach trying to make another gimmick to sell things. You don't R rate something just for the sake of R rating it. It just shows me that Snyder is an idiot.
The Unknown Poster Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 If the film makers have a vision that gets an R rating then that's the creative choice of the film makers. It's not for you or me to say otherwise.
Taynted_Fayth Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) I thought Snyder when on record in liking how deadpool was done, and the R-rating it got. IMO it sounded like if BvS was to be produced again, it would have been R-rated only. but since it was likely done filming as PG-13 prior to Feb 12th, Deadpools success likely just had some influence on him getting green lighted in adding addition stuff which allows for 2 difference versions.

17to85 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Posted February 26, 2016 It's easy to get an R rating, 3 fucks and you're there

The indications are the "R" would come from violence. This reminds me of a terrible joke I like to bust out every so often. "Did you hear about the new pirate move? It's rated Arrrrrrrrrr".

Taynted_Fayth Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Posted February 28, 2016 So i was gonna mention something i read the other day that early prediction for Gods of Egypt was the movie was going to tank at the box office (15 mill for a 170m movie) but i didnt think there was enough merit on predictions at the time with no reviews out or numbers, but it only made 4.76mill opening night yesterday, and is getting bad reviews meaning it might only make 13mill for the weekend. I did read some people were boycotting the movie because it was too "white" for an accurate egypt, and not enough black people (even tho ive always thought egyptians were more middle-eastern/persian then african black, but all in all the movie didnt sound like it was getting good marks on it's own. so maybe ill wait for it to be on dvd which at this pace shouldnt be long at all
Logan007 Posted February 28, 2016 Report Posted February 28, 2016 There's a mix in Egypt of black and middle-eastern types, but in the time they're showing in the movie, it should be mostly middle-eastern types. Aside from the fact that I always thought it looked ridiculous, almost none of the races are correct. Not to mention that almost all Egyption gods have heads of animals, not humans. The whole movie wreaks of stupid.
Taynted_Fayth Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) well they do take shape of metallic animals, but yeah curious why they take human form, unless thats their natural form and the animals form is just part of their divine power. based off the trailers it reminded me of that old cartoon silverhawks Edited February 28, 2016 by Taynted_Fayth

Taynted_Fayth Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Posted February 28, 2016 yep, even that Triple 9 that was getting great reviews and rating was beat out by deadpool, but deadpool is a beast on it's own, high anticipation and it delivered. came out at a time it doesnt have much competition either which just makes for success
Brandon Posted February 28, 2016 Report Posted February 28, 2016 I watched Dead Pool earlier today and thought it was a fun movie, not quite deserving all the hype but it's still a very fun flick to watch.

I think John Carter was more from not being sold properly. They didn't really do a lot to push the movie and let the public know it was out there, so I think that's more why it failed. I watched the movie once it came out and was surprised how much I actually liked it. I thought it was really good. Silverhawks, man I haven't seen that show in ages. But you're right, very similar style.
Taynted_Fayth Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Posted February 28, 2016 Avengers: Infinity War: Russo Brothers Clarify Upcoming Film to Feature 68 Characters, Report Says The film's directors previously said the movie would feature 67 distinct characters but clarified their comments at this year's Wizard World Cleveland Comic Con, Cleveland.com reported 68 characters! seems like an extremely crowed set. Hopefully every one of them will be established by then, as I dont think it would be beneficial just to cameo a ton of super heroes/villains just for the sake of doing so. My hope is part 1 focuses mainly on the background and rise of Thanos until he gets the infinity stones and it ends on a evil wins note, part 2 is more around the story of Adam Warlock and the rise of a group effort to stop Thanos

Taynted_Fayth Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Posted February 28, 2016 Predator: 20th Century Fox Announces March 2, 2018, Release Date for Action Movie Sequel The studio released the first teaser art for the fourth film in the series earlier this month. The original "Predator," which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, was released in 1987. Im a little curious what direction they will go with this one, they've done the jungle, they've done the concrete jungle, they've done the mash up (AvP) I'd maybe like to see an attack on their home world where they become the prey
FrostyWinnipeg Posted February 28, 2016 Report Posted February 28, 2016 Maybe the back story to the Australia incident.
