‘We can’t put Nazis in a G film!’

My wife’s mom use to self edit movies for them along these lines. So she saw all the decapitations and brutal deaths in Conan but didn’t see the Witch fuck scene until she rewatched it with me as an adult.   Her brother still thinks that is perfectly normal.

Finding Dildo

It is part of the problem we have that nudity and sex is considered vastly worse than violence. Parents keep kids from media with nudity and sex but let them be exposed to as much violence as possible. We are a country of messed up violent puritanical prudes with gun fetishes.

It’s going to be the Wrath of Khan of Paw Patrol. Like that classic Star Trek film it will be a sequel to an episode, in this case ‘Paw-lice Bru-tail-ity’ which dealt with the German Shepherd police dog shooting an unarmed Black Lab in the back.

I remember my parents let me watch Annie Hall when I was like 10 because it was rated PG. I still thinks that’s funny. 

Not to mention the scene in the beginning where Sutherland’s health inspector character finds a rat turd in a restaurant kitchen that the chef claims is merely a spilled caper. This introduced me to the concept of health inspectors and the possibility that restaurant food that I might eat might have been prepared in…

1980's “The Nude Bomb,” the “Get Smart” theatrical movie disaster, was initially rated G despite some cartoonish gunplay. The producers though that was the kiss of death so they went back and added a couple of “Shits” to ensure a PG. The ironic part was that despite the title, there was no nudity at all except for a…

I think it’s also that we’ve all looked the other way for way to long on the police brutality wrought by the Paw Patrol.

torn between Adult Toy Story and HORN-E for this one

You have to consider the purpose of the rating system in the context of how movies were seen when the rating system was created in 1968. Back then, movies were seen in theaters. Any movie that eventually turned up on TV was going to cut to the equivalent of a G rating or shown late at night. There was no cable, no…

I read somewhere recently that for Transformers the movie from 1986 they decided to have a character say "shit" because that would guarantee them a PG rating. Which they wanted since movie theaters had more slots throughout the day for PG movies so they could make more money.

Full penetration.

I have to think the violence (and grotesque deaths of Belloq and Toht) would 100% push Raiders into PG-13. Jaws as well. It also does seem that anything that depicts death is now going to get a PG, which could oddly push movies like Bambi into that territory (how many AVC commenters were traumatized as children by his…

“You maniacs! You neutered the G rating! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!”

Planet of the Apes had naked Heston butt and pulled a G. I remember tons of PG films from the ‘70s and ‘80s that had (albeit brief) nudity too, although not anything sensual. But then Temple of Doom and Gremlins pushed the PG envelope, PG-13 came along, and it feels like people’s sensibilities moved up to adjust to it.

Or NC-17. Although there have been animated movies like 1972's “Fritz the Cat” that were that (or rather X as the rating was called then).

Pixar should go for a hard R next time
