I say let the buyer be ware…..

You don’t want you or your family to hear the F-bomb or see some titty? Do some research first, preview and make an informed choice. Don’t like what you see? – don’t watch it. But don’t expect your retailer do your censorship for you and know better than the writers and director on what makes sense for their artistic creation – whether you agree it is good or not and it could very well be crap in my opinion too.

I saw my first R-rated movie when I was in the third grade when my Dad took me to see Patton. He explained to me ahead of time that I’d hear very bad language and see some violence and disturbing scenes but that what I would see was true to history and what he experienced as a WW2 vet. I was not scarred by seeing that movie and I think it made me a better person. I also saw the Green Barets at about the same time.

I concede that Patton did not have “gratuitous” sex, violence or bad language and was a good and patriotic film but then some people would have been happier if the General said things like, gee golly gosh instead of what he actually said. BTW – while we are at it, let’s take the cigarette out of Bogart’s mouth in Casablanca – after all cigarettes are now known to be bad and children could be influenced and after all any censorship is good if “it’s for the children”….

so you want the head of household to go see the movie, or rent it, and spend several hours in doing so, just so he can decide if its fit for his family?.....all along, supporting what could be some piece of x rated trash....

that is too much investment of time and money....

I say that YOU should seek out your F words or your titty peeks at your expense and your expense only.....in fact, maybe you should pay extra just for that priviledge....

I am tired of having to go thru life with my eyes and hears covered.......for a change, lets return to the days where the norm was good and moral or at least right-minded and the abnormal was something that the perverts could seek out at the xrated theatre like they used to do.....
