I was COOKING Christmas dinner when the decision was made to see this movie, FGS! I had time only to look up the synopsis and the time. You know, there were 3 other people involved in this decision. The synopsis was deceptive, as was the movie trailer I’d seen the previous week. The theatre certainly did not “sanitize” the trailer for “Bad Words” last night. People were booing because the language was so bad and directed at a child, no less! Yet, the same people sat through the main feature.
My computer refused to download the trailer for “Wolf” — probably because of the language, although at the time I just thought there was a glitch; and I went back to my cooking.
There is a difference, you know, between trailers shown when the main feature is PG, PG13, or when the main feature is R. They match the content to the content of the main feature.
I’ll add just one more thought: morality and culture is a lot like accounting, or computers. Garbage in = garbage out! I don’t need to corrupt my life with porn and trash. I hope you enjoy it, if that is your cup of tea.
The synopsis isn’t deceptive, it’s a one sentence description of a 3 hour movie. The trailer isn’t deceptive, it’s a 2 minute set G rates of clips from a 3 hour R rated movie. They probably showed you the red band trailer for Bad Words, which is an R rated movie and most definitely NOT directed at kids.
If the trailer is approved for viewing before a G, PG or PG-13 movie it’s green band, if it’s only approved for R it’s red band.
If you don’t want to corrupt your life with dirty words then you should use this internet tool to find out the rating of a movie and why they gave it that rating. All of the information is there if you’re willing to look. It too me all of a minute to find that MPAA rating info for Wolf, less time than it took you to write this vanity. But you couldn’t be bothered, if it’s garbage in garbage out then what comes out when you put NOTHING in?
