Re: snakes on a plane
 

you dont need to apoligize for anything man, i like a good discussion, thats why i keep coming back to argue it further, this place would be deader then it already is if everyone agreed on everything.

i guess what it comes down to to me, is if you were to keep the EXACT same movie and make it pg13, i could agree with it further because of the rep it got after being out.

but being R to me was just part of its whole image. and to change that, your not only changing its image, your changing the very movie, and as far as profits go, you can never tell what kinda profits a different movie would bring. to me, without its 'bad-ass, rediculously stupid R rated' image, im not sure if it woulda been interested in seeing it.

Theres no disputing the fact as you mentioned tho that PG-13 is the biggest money making crowd. im not trying to say different on any of the facts you mentioned.




Dylflon, im curious about canada, does each providence do ratings different or how do you tell? because i take a trip up to canada (ontario) a few times every year. and whenever i see a commercial for any movie, they have Never said what its rated. Here, after every movie they say, RATED R, or RATED PG-13 or so on.

A: Yeah, you should put that in the movie, that would be hilarious! I'd be just like that R rated movie I rented the other day.

B: Fair enough... now, come watch the movie.

Days pass and the movie is released

C: Woah there kid, where are you going? Got some ID? This movie's rated R.

A: What? An ID? But this movie is going to be great.

C: Sure. Wait till it's out on video so that you can rent it with your mommy. Move along.

I'll be the acting-Dylflon.
Each Province has enough power to make it's own laws, which is why the driving ages, and drinking ages arent the same across all of Canada.
As for the movie thing, I dont know about Ontario, obviously, but in BC the rating on movies are always at the end of the credits of the commercial. No flashy voice says what it's rated, and the rating doesnt encompass the whole screen, but if you squint hard enough you can usually see it. ;)

Re: snakes on a plane
 

well yea... driving and drinking ages and such arent the same for each state in the US either. but theres more of a standard for things like movie ratings it seems.. i was just curious tho, someone once told me theres no ratings at all in canada. which i knew was not correct. just never looked it up.

Re: snakes on a plane
 

there are ratings...but i think people do pay less attention to them up here. snakes was rated 14A here in Ontario too...which it should be. to say you need to be 18 (that's R right?) to see this movie is ridiculous...14 is more than fine.


and did you just say "most scarriest" up there a few posts? Null... :nono:

I'M TIRED OF ALL THESE MOTHERF***ING ROCKS ON THIS MOTHERF***ING FORUM!!!

Re: snakes on a plane
 

Everywhere else in Canada seems pretty similar in their movie ratings and whatnot.

BC is usually the only province you'll see getting a downgrade.

It might be because the film industry is so big in this province. Or maybe everyone here is just too stoned to care.

Re: snakes on a plane
 

Snakes was 14A here...

Re: snakes on a plane
 

get off my dick!

Pretty cool, but is it as controversial as the video of the young man biting a mouse's head off?
