"Your dad's name is Martha too?"

At least they reflect how generic and banal the movies are. Maybe it's a way for the filmmakers to feel they aren't trying to cheat people.

And the Christian PG rated version, "Mom's Night Out".

When will this The Onion picture be optioned for a movie?

The idea of a 95-minute fantasy action August throwaway movie has a certain appeal to me.

Most Stephen King tomes do better as TV series. He has TV-episode pacing in the novels, pretty much.

You must be from some other dimension where Del Toro makes that kind of movies.

Why are people wondering why Trump lies about this? He's a pathological liar, that's what they do. He can't not lie about petty shit. It gives him a sense of control, he manages to take a little part of the world and create his own reality around it. He does not think of the consequences, because they don't exist when…

Many other countries have age limits like that, where the theater is mandated by law to follow the rating (I know Mexico does, for example) and where rhe most restrictive ratings allow for no one under the age limit to go in. The US is "self-regulating", so the main reason a theater cares here is that the MPAA would…

Depends on the theater policy, but the MPAA puts no restrictions on you taking your kids to the theater. My theater has a policy of no kids under 6 after 8 PM for R-rated movies, that's it.

I'm not sure that's it. I think it's more related to the seeming trend that movies for adults don't draw in as many people as they used to, nudity or not, and since that's the only type of movie that would have nudity in it, well, then that's gone too.

She points out she didn't care if she got insulted.

Movie audiences have become prudes in general over the last decade or so, lesbian scenes or not.

"Valerian and the city of a thousand planets" is perfectly suitable for kids.

Then again, I saw a family with kids around maybe 6-8 or so see "The Belko Experiment", the hardest R I've seen this year. I felt like calling CPS.

Dunkirk is a shoe-in for a few.
Apes too, hopefully, for Serkis. It's about damn time and he's fantastic in it.

"essentially August" made me chuckle.

It's a grim as hell movie, and the trailers don't make it seem like it is anything else. Maybe people don't want to get bummed out. Beats me, to be honest.

I think it's also the nostalgia factor.

Where is the AV Club article "Is The Emoji movie proof Rotten Tomatoes isn't as influential as we think?" It nearly writes itself!
