This is just too silly.
Back in 1903 when a character pointed a gun at the screen audiences freaked out because they had never seen that before.
105 years later, the MAPP still thinks we might be afraid.
Good job MPAA!

So they didn't mind when Joe Pesci fires into the camera in GOODFELLAS?
It isn't like the MPAA has much in the way of credibility, anyway.

Posted: 7/25/08 at 4:19pmI'm so sick of agencies telling us what we can/should see. What happened to personal responsibility?

Posted: 7/25/08 at 4:29pmit went out the window when trial lawyers started convincing people that they copuld sue for anything and everything. now, we have a nation that believes that everything is someone else's fault. hence, no concept of presonal responsibility.

Posted: 7/26/08 at 8:13amI had Easter Parade playing for my young nieces one time and my sister-in-law complained about the smoking in it and other old films.

It's only a matter of advertising, not full films, thank God.

Posted: 7/27/08 at 12:22pmMy eight year old niece was terrified to the point of tears by the glowing auras around the actors in the movie Xanadu. Perhaps the MPAA could get that banned?
