I think the rating system should be completely abolished unless the movie is a porno. There are two reasons why I think this:
(1) Gratuitous sex scenes irritate me almost as much as montages or unnecessary slow motion. I like to know in advance… scratch that, I NEED to know in advance if there is going to be a sex scene because I had the unfortunate experience of seeing William H. Macy buck naked when I rented The Cooler. It was horrible. It made me want to gouge my eyeballs out. I’m not a prude. There are just certain people I don’t want to see naked.
(2) Parents need to monitor what movies their kids watch not the film industry. Rating systems are pointless. This is because some kids are emotionally mature enough at a young age to watch films that are full of violence and cursing and understand it’s just a movie. While other kids have nightmares. Only the parents know what their children can handle. Why should the rest of us suffer?!

just let me know how much free time you have once you have kids. You are commiting the cardinal sin - the same one I used to commit - before I had kids I criticized parents for this kind of shit and I’d say “when I have kids I’ll…” You ain’t gonna do shit! Trust me. In a few years I won’t know what the fuck is playing in the theater or what it’s about or who’s naked or who uses the words that I know and love so much - so I’ll have the rating system to help me decide…it’s a good thing.
