Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (March 24th, 2016)

[Khev]

Back in 1939 there was no MPAA. There was the Hays Office and the Motion Picture Production Code. No rating system at all.

Then it was the Motion Picture Code (which did ban words from many films) that only allowed Rhett Butler's line as long as emphasis was not on the word "damn."

You are correct. Just trying to clear things up.

They had movies when you were a teenager, Khev?

They had to have some standards to justify their existence. Slasher movies had the golden recipe for getting an R rating. Nudity, Sex, lots of blood, and lots of violence and all the screaming. They couldn't give them a PG rating so R was the only choice. The sequel Elm Street movies really shouldn't have been R rated though. I don't recall much nudity in them and Freddy became a comedian as the series progressed. The only thing that was really scary was the theme music.

Even when they were given their R ratings they were still cut to ****!

MPAA screwed them hard.

Hopefully Wonder Woman needs to take a dip in a magic hot tub in order to figure out what's going on.

Really? You have insider info????????????

 

[rushmore223]

Not factual. The ratings used from 1968 - 1970 were G, M, R, X. Midnight Cowboy's and A Clockwork Orange were originally rated X. So your interesting fact is actually not a fact.

I should have amended it instead of just adding that last line, "X" was never a rating given by the MPAA, It was self assigned. "XXX" was a rating created by the **** industry. I would have clarified further, but I had to run out the door. My bad.

Where do you sign up to watch movies decide a rating on it and get paid anyway.

Henry Cavill is great, but #TeamBatman always and forever:

I think you want to check out a documentary called 'This Film Is Not Yet Rated'.

Daaaaaaaw!

This is such am obvious case of trying to drum up buzz for this steaming pile its not even funny.

Fury Road was R for no reason except Miller wanted to be sure it would be viewed more adult than Thunderdome.

Same basic concept here, they want it to seem special, and in the end it will not be. More corporate shills cooking up background gorilla marketing for a film that obviously cannot stand on it merits.

Can't compare 80's MPAA to anything else. It was a lot looser back then. Check out the Sheena movie with Tanya Roberts, which was rated PG, and you'll see a prime example of how loose they were.

Looser? Tell that to the Friday the 13th flicks. The CSI shows on network TV got away with far more gore and violence.

A pregnant chick getting run over by a monster truck will prolly get an R every time.

Theatrical release is still PG-13.

Plus the milking scene, no way that would fly in pg 13

Superman: 'Only in the directors cut'

I'd assume it would have to be for the fight against Doomsday. Although, but if something is in an extended edition, is it considered part of the continuity? I'm assuming it will be inconsequential stuff for us fans.

 

[EVILFACE]

Generally only the theatrical release is canon, but in the end, it doesn't matter.

Thank you sir!
