The two leads nail the sibling chemistry. The monster design is cool.

I had the pleasure of watching them for the first time recently. They are both good films, and the monster design is great. There was a third planned but 'for some reason' it didn't quite get made.

The third movie would be the length of a robot chicken sketch as the monster awakens, crucified, with homemade ballista aimed at it. The movie would not be very long.

Set in the future, the farmers kid's having forgotten the importance of protecting and murdering a gargoyle. Then you have him become like, a cyborg or something. The climax will be the leading man riding Jeepers through space as Earth's gravity pulls them both in and disintegrates them both. Jason X

Speaking of movies that never get made, where the hell is my Shantaram movie? It seemed to have got screwed during the writers strike and has somehow been stuck in movie development hell ever since.

How many PG-13 anti-drug movies show drug use beyond marijuana? The only example I've been able to find on Google is the all-but-forgotten 1990 film The White Girl. It's weird that the anti-drug film niche isn't being filled.

MPAA is not even close to that smart. Their rules are not based on any kind of logic. Did you see that thing where people complained about seeing the contour of Olympic athlete's packages through their spandex runing shorts? Those are the kind of people who make MPAA rules.

The MPAA also likes to rate even the faintest whiff of queer sex way, way harder than hetero sex, because the MPAA is made up of (wow!) old white men.

Also a lot of old white women, if "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" is to be taken as truth (seems likely imo) The morale is: White people are garbage, especially if they're old. Except my grandma & so on.

The MPAA's mission is basically to protect "family values". We all know what that means.

If you haven't seen it, it's Devon Sawa plumbing the depths of the horrors of being addicted to LSD and following Phish around the country.

It would be really cool if somebody could actually suggest a legitimate alternative to the MPAA instead of just parroting the same handful of arguments and unproven speculation they saw in This Film Is Not Yet Rated over and over, year after year.

Just think of any other media or country that doesn't use an MPAA-style system. Otherwise, specifically you could do: -No rating system -Content descriptions only -Rating/descriptions provided by the studio -Rating/descriptions provided by fan or industry sites

The loving TV rating system is way better than the movie rating system. Firstly, don't restrict who can see a movie in the theater. Pay money? get ticket. It's a parent's job to restrict what a child watches, and no one elses. There, now the stake a way lower for films getting certain ratings, and they can serve more as guidelines than rules.

From my admittedly limited experience, the rating systems of other countries aren't any better than the MPAA. Edit: Though I'm not sure if it's really that big of an issue. Hollywood still makes a ton of R-rated films, and the PG-13 rating is a lot more lenient now than it was in its inception. Samuel Clemens fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Sep 24, 2016 |

One nice thing about the MPAA is that unlike most western countries it doesn't have the force of law behind it. Rating boards in other countries are usually government entities and can force cuts be made from movies or ban films outright. Directors and studios in America always have the option of releasing things Unrated or release what they hoped would be PG-13 as an R if they don't want to make cuts. It does suck that there's usually an economic price to pay for that but there's a difference between "If you release this movie without these cuts it'll have a rating that might cost you money" and "If you release this movie without these cuts you will go to jail."

I also didn't mean to imply that it's safe to use heroin if you don't snort it. I just meant that in the movie she's is already hosed up and mistakes it for coke and does a big ole line. At least that's the impression I always got. That she didnt realize it was heroin till she snorted it.

At least that's the impression I always got. That she didnt realize it was heroin till she snorted it. quote:Following a dinner party, they had "snorted" (inhaled through a straw placed in one nostril) a small amount of cocaine and a quantity of white powder believed to be cocaine. All eight were reported to have snorted at least two "lines" (rows of powder measuring approximately 3 x 4 x 30 mm) of the second substance. Within 5 min they experienced anxiety, restlessness, generalized parasthesias and muscle discomfort, vomiting, and physical collapse.
