More Hollywood Studios Say ‘No Smoking’

dar512 · 10-02-2007, 10:19 AM

I find the whole "movies must be realistic" argument laughable. I've seen very few movies that are truly realistic. And there's a lot of real life that doesn't need to be depicted in G and PG movies.

I suspect some of the posters above did not read TFA. It talks about restricting smoking in movies shown to kids.

Don't feel bad dana. you just need to accept that he generally hates everything that doesn't line right up with his little thoughts. He just can't find enough things to be angry about in a 24 hour day.

I am not angry at all, I hate no one or nothing.
You know nothing, you sound like a moron.

Are you kidding me? Nearly every thread you start is about something you are pissed over and has a very angry tone. When you respond to others you are belittling.

If you truly believe the statement above, then you have no idea how your writing comes across to others.

No. My kids are teens now, so we see more teen movies than cartoons.

Are you arguing that they should have been more realistic in this case? I'd have to go along with you on this one, but I'm not sure how it connects back to the main argument.

No, it doesn't relate, your post just reminded me how much that pissed me off. There was no reason for it - the bulls just had udders... totally stupid.

I kept waiting for the "tits on a bull" joke that never happened.

There's a missed opportunity.

I'm not sure my kids would have noticed if they had seen it when they were younger. But it would probably have sparked a discussion. From the beginning we tried to be honest about anatomy and we always used the correct terms for all the body parts.

I do not care. I am sure that is why.

I am not being a snot, hilarious word, do I get a sad-face now? I already made the point about ratings. Though giving a movie raitings because of smoking would be silly. What's next, a PG-13 due to sloth, LOL!!!?

Then you shouldn't be surprised when people think you are angry and bitter.

I believe that we just established that you are being a snot, but you don't care.
