It’s entirely about money. Statistically, PG-13 films make a lot more money than R films. Most likely because younger people can more easily access them which greatly increases potential audience pool. I don’t think they are even considering the context of the film itself and whether younger audiences would actually…

I wish Prince was still alive to support this petition.

Why on earth would anyone want to rate this PG-13? I have a hard time imagining very many preteens and teens wanting to see a movie about a rock icon from their parents’ and grandparents’ eras.  

Would that he could be so self aware. 

I wish Freddie Mercury was still alive to stop the straight-washing/sanitising of his life in Bohemian Rhapsody.

Seriously, what is with producers trying to pretend this era didn’t happen the way we all know it happened? There is copious, overwhelming evidence of this time period being drenched in chemicals, boning and bad choices while traipsing around in the most fucked up fashions money could buy. That’s why it was FUN.

Fuck Moby.

That’s a good point. I was trying to make it obvious that he was doing the old “I’m sorry everyone got so upset,” without actually apologizing for anything, but I probably should have made it clear that he did not walk back his original statement. I’ll update it to add that now.

He is not sorry.

Moby? Dick?

“And when you come home from your battles, scarred and shattered, we will have decimated the VA so it will be similarly scarred and shattered, a perfect metaphor for exactly how much we love our veterans. Look, a flyover from the Blue Angels!”

The issue of older men creeping on women in their late teens has been a hot one this week. Did anyone see these two stories floating around on Twitter this weekend?

I was all man, this is full on Abraham and Sarah! oh, wait.

Remember when Pence used to write op-eds about how women shouldn’t serve in the military?

My first thought, which utterly chilled me, was that he was talking about deploying troops here, possibly after refusing to accept election results or to promote his vicious “Kingdom of Heaven” here. No real reason, but that’s the first thing that leaped into my head when I read that. 

“...Mr. Trump is the best friend the men and women of our armed forces will ever have.”

“Some if you will die on the battlefield of another unnecessary foreign war!” Encouraging speech, Mike.

“You will lead soldiers in combat. It will happen. Some of you may even be called upon to serve in this hemisphere.”
