Another reason to boycott movie theaters.
Another reason I don't go to movie theaters.
The MPAA ratings fraud.

A woman in a horror movie rated "R" has a breast implant hacked out of her breast by a "mad slasher."

Yet a couple making love earns a movie NC-17.

1. Archae, surely you know that that violence is A-OK these days,
but anything remotely (and I mean remotely) related to anything sexual is XXX rated?

This shit makes my head hurt.

2. If a movie is worth watching, it's worth watching in a theater
Seeing a movie on a TV screen, even a big TV, just isn't the same as watching it in a theater.

3. I love movies....
Not THOSE movies.....so just boycott they psycho ones. Besides I live in a city (L.A.) where we make about the last Made In USA product (films) that have an international market.

GO TO THE MOVIES!
