And movies like that may win awards, but they rarely make the big bucks. So yeah, I think this ship has indeed sailed.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376065182154885503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-43339782240663475792014-07-15T00:36:32.312-04:002014-07-15T00:36:32.312-04:00Hi, there - here via Ryan McNeil at the Matinee, a...Hi, there - here via Ryan McNeil at the Matinee, and I couldn't agree more! I saw both of those articles, and I pretty much thought the same thing you just said. What's wrong with there being a film that's intended for adults but doesn't happen to have explicit language, sex, or violence? If those things are important to the story, setting, or mood, by all means, have them in and rate it R. But if they're not, why not let it be PG?<br /><br />I suspect this battle has already been lost (as I posted on Twitter in the midst of ranting about this very thing, ratings have becoming more of a marketing tool rather than a content descriptor), but it does irritate me. You can have sophisticated, adult-centric content that isn't explicit.Jandyhttp://www.the-frame.comnoreply@blogger.com
