Yeah, that is so completely fucked up.

Now mind you I have seen R-rated films that should have been PG-13, Match Point (no language, offscreen violence and an occasional sex scene that features no nudity or motions of sex) comes to mind and The Fountain (although they did fight the rating and got a PG-13), and that is by the MPAA’s standards, not my own little personal opinions/taste. And I have seen PG-13 movies that should have been R…Titanic’s nudity would have given any other film an R rating. I’m not here to argue why you can show bullet headshots but not tits, but just to say, if you’re a regular film watcher, it should be no surprise as to the rating a film gets. But it seems everytime a popular movie gets an R rating, the same people bitch and moan and ask why? Little Miss Sunshine was R and people say, but it’s a great family film with an uplifting message. True, but it features very strong language (mostly from Grandpa) that not only involves f bombs but talk of sex too. More arguably would be Once. Again, I remember Roeper bitching that all teenagers should see this film and steamed it was rated R. Well, the film (being British) also has about two dozen f bombs, although it sounds more like “feck.”

And that’s basically it. If you say more than one f bomb, it’ll probably be R, although i’ve seen films with 2 and 3 and even 7 (Hero with Dustin Hoffman was PG13) or it u show any nudity other than an ass, it’ll probably be an R (although Doc Hollywood had an extended tit scene and it was PG13). Now if u go back to the 80s all the rating rules were fucked up due to the lack of the PG13 rating. Beetlejuice is a PG with the word Fuck and the Beastmaster is a PG with plenty of tit action.

I’m not saying the MPAA didn’t fuch Slumdog over with the R cause I haven’t seen it. But if it has language or nudity, it’s screwed. Violence on the other hand…….

I’m seriously excited about this, so thanks for keeping us informed.
