- sixdust, on 10/12/2007, -5/+79I'm in your MPAA, changing your ratings.
- Lax32, on 10/12/2007, -2/+69Good= MPAA took it up the rear from Spielberg
Bad= If I choose to see it in theaters, I have to deal with highschool and middle school kids. - newezra, on 10/12/2007, -1/+44You here that in R rated movies too. When I saw 300 I had a 4 year old kid next to me.
kid - "mommy, I have to go poopoo right now! mom, mom, mom, mommy...."
mom - "shhhhh, you have to be quite. it's almost over" (20 min into the movie)
kid - "mom, mom. MOM"
kid - "uuuaaaaaahhh... mom, mom, mom"
kid - "poopoo"
kid - "I need to go"
kid - "mom"
kid - "mommy"
mom - "shhh.. not right now"
kid - "POOOOOOOOOPOOOOOOOO"
kid - "mmmmmmmmmmmmmoooooooo... *mouth muffled*"
mom - "listen to me, you have to be quite"
Now repeat that conversation every scene. - binaryspiral, on 10/12/2007, -0/+42I don't go to movies in theaters any more because people do not know how to act in public.
Your story about the kid in an R rated movie is just one of an infinite number of stories I could bring up. Cell phones, constant chatter, snoring, kicking chair backs, multiple trips to the snack counter...
Please... MPAA - allow us to bring baseball bats and tasers to movies. I'll be glad to buy an extra ticket for my duffel bag of "STFU Tools" - Shipley, on 10/12/2007, -3/+39Not cuts were made. RTFA.
- BorsKaegel, on 10/12/2007, -13/+46In Soviet Russia, movies rate you!
- kronix2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25So, a movie which was initially rated R was then rated PG-13 with no modification. How bloody inconsistent are the MPAA ratings?
- holzp, on 10/12/2007, -3/+27Rating: -Y (Some destruction of your youth)
- mnetlucas, on 10/12/2007, -5/+29Yes!
- binaryspiral, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22If the content warranted an R rating... then so be it. If you can appeal the ratings and get them lowered just by bitching about it - then the rating system is worthless. MPAA you can't do anything right... why ***** bother?
It's not like movie theaters actually keep young adults out of R rated movies. The 300 was rated R and filled the movie theaters.
Digg me down! - joxer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20Only if they refer to the decepticons as persians
- eriksanerd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17From the article:
"We went to get our MPAA rating, and this movie is for the masses, and we got an R rating because of the tension," LaBeouf said. He added: "Not because of the curse words or nudity, but for sheer intensity. It's aneurysm-inducing."
This practically reads as a minor publicity stunt for the movie: It was so good, they HAD to keep kids from seeing it. - mc7winkie, on 10/12/2007, -5/+20Your Russian reversal can use some work...
- BorsKaegel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15So, I wonder if Iran is going to get pissed off about this movie, too...
- djphatjive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15God I Love Spielberg, God I love Transformers, God I hope Micheal Bay doesn't screw this up.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15That can mean only one thing since we don't care at all about violence in the meida in the US...there's a hot robot-on-robot sex scene.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10http://joblo.com/r-rated-transformers
It won't be cut from the R cut. Bay didn't want to cut anything out that's why Spielberg strongarmed the MPAA review board into knocking it down to a PG-13 rating. - WhereAmI, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13Uwe Boll I feel is much more deserving of all WHY's until further notice.
- redxii, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10This is America. You'll have high school and middle school kids anyway in an R rated movie.
- BorsKaegel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Why? You have a valid point.
- fudgeigor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8*****, Stupid people don't care about plot
- fudgeigor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7That comment was more useless than this one calling your comment useless.
- sixdust, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9The *****? Only Adults are allowed to see movies with a good plot?
- fantasticFlan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The rating system *is* worthless.
- sacherjj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6@kronix
Check out the movie: "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" All about the hypocrites that are the MPAA rating system. - Sterango, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I can't wait to see this movie now , just knowing that the movie got the R rating based on nothing more than sheer "aneurysm inducing intensity"... Sounds like this is an action packed joyride. And the animation is the most intense that ILM has ever done? Sounds intriguing.
- tdhurst, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6You were an abused child, weren't you? You probably had GoBots, too.
- mc7winkie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Being in high school I ***** hate going to the movies only to see some of my peers being total uncultured ***** ups. They are total ass hats, loud, can't sit still, and don't know when to shut up. I wish that the damned theaters would throw some of them out.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Bad Boys was terrible.
- sathias, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@kronix2
Exactly. The sad thing is if this wasn't made by someone with the industry clout of Spielberg then it would still be rated R. The whole system is set up to protect the "big" guys, whether people see this as a loss for the MPAA or not. - EtherGnat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Transformers aren't into gay sex. Everybody knows they're into autoeroticism.
- tcquad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@YourTechSupport
Good catch. I missed it while reading the sentence initially, but that "the" changes the entire implication of the sentence. - Arbus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3What, does Optimus show his giant garbage can nipples or something?
This "TheBeef" guy sounds like a dink. - sacherjj, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5@bearowned
"Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?"
"Ooohhh. Pretty explosion." -- American Public - YourTechSupport, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Wait.... nudity?
- barius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Just one question, why is it that the MPAA, Spielberg, and seemingly anyone but the public which this rating is supposed to be 'protecting' gets to decide what the rating is?
Exactly where is the accountability? - elvenseven, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6Now I have to hear kids crying at the back.
- RoboRay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2What? There really IS a live-action Transformers movie coming? I seriously thought that was just a joke in Clerks II.
- ApplCmptrDood, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5@ mc7winkie I'm thankful I'm not alone. I'm in middle school, and I can't bear to go to the movies with half of the people in my grade. They are total jackasses - they throw popcorn at other people, and are extremely loud and rude. Then they call me a pussy because I tell them to be quiet. O_O
- jsballardx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm sure that guy watched Gobots every single day.
Tard. - milktea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm gonna have to call ***** on this one.. I can't take anything that ass-hat of an actor says.
- unitethenations, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Save for this line: "Step out or we will kill you"
I think it will be okay. - Sterango, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1woah excuse me, horrible cartoon? Yup, go drink some cyanide.
- cliner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1hey uh ... "Do a barrel roll!!"
- RitzMachine, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Go figure, some of us actually like going to see big dumb thrill rides once-in-a-while and no one does a big dumb thrill ride better than Michael Bay.
Hey, if they were all Shakespeare people would be complaining about everything being so damned serious.
Oh and for all of you complaining about your youth being ruined, go watch the first few seasons of Transformers again. If you consider that to be high quality in any way, well, I don't really need to say anymore. - mabhatter, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2@mindbender
My kids got a boxed set of Transformers season 1 and we sat last Saturday and watched half a season... The first few seasons, there's not really much to the plot of transformers.. Optimus is always right, Megatron is always wrong... mindless robot fighting and really cheesy "do the right thing" is what it's all about... even Michael Bay shouldn't mess that up too much. - JOJOFACE, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I love everything that Shia LaBeouf touches. Even Stevens was ahead of it's time. ^_^
- nelziq, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The MPAA is full of it. To learn more watch: This Film is Not Yet Rated a documentary about the MPAA, their many secrets, inconsistencies, and abuses.
- jpatch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Shia LeBeouf is in it? Well, had it not been once considered for an R-rating, I would have thought this to be another one of those "Kid Power" movies where kids, without any help from adults whatsoever, save the world twice with even better results.
I hate movies like that... (I will kill you and your Thunderbirds blasphemy someday, Mr. Frakes!) - ru1dt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3@mcatrage
Wait...was that sarcastic? -
