apollaWHAT THE FUCK IS THE 'FAMILY MOVIE ACT'?
ARE THEY FUCKING KIDDING ME? ARE THEY KIDDING ME? DID WE ACTUALLY RESURRECT JOE MCCARTHY AND HIS MATES AND GIVE THEM TECHNOLOGY?
A good point: "Hollywood isn't made on politics, it's made on profit. If Mussolini's dog came in with a script and it was good, they'd make him a producer and making it."
Another good point: If you are a parent and you do not approve of sections of a film for your children: DON'T LET THEM WATCH IT! Every kid is different. My brother was watching Robocop when he was eight, I didn't and was older. I liked Tommy, it freaked Mikey out. Allowing children to watch a film with sex or whatever but making them miss the 'naughty' scenes is liable to just confuse them.
Come on, guys, let's not be stupid. If it's not suitable for your children in its entirety, don't let them watch it. Then, when they've reached majority, they can decide for themselves. That's what FREE SPEECH is about.
And don't get me started on potential copyright issues.
To... I'm too fuckin angry. This is what tars the Repubs and the 'religious right' and 'middle America' with the same nasty brush. This is what makes Founders roll in their graves.
