*snortles* It was sooo much fun to watch this movie with Crocky and Julez, it nearly did noy matter at all how horrendous the movie was.
And it began promisingly enough, with us missing the bus, being late, that Card-Collection thingy not taking our Switch card, me walking into the glass wall of a revolving door at full steam... *cringes* Thankfully, Julez pretended not to have seen it and nobody laughed, so possibly really nobody saw it at all, us being nearly late for the beginning of the movie... Yeah.
So, it was a completely fun experience, watching the movie, although the actual getting to the cinema and into the seats was already a lot more exiting than the actual film.
What bugged me about both this film and The Da Vinci Code, which is also featuring one of the most predictable stories I have ever seen, was the rating.
12A??? Excuse me??
"Well now, children. You are twelve, so today, Mum and Dad are going to take you to watch a nice film.
Oh, that guy? Yeah, he is chastising himself. You know, the whip which you can see there, in all it's closed-up glory, is a cat o' nine tails. Yup, there's something at the end of each individual whip which makes it more painful. As you can see there. Yup, his back's bleeding now. But don't worry, he is only the bad guy.
Oh, that on his leg? Yes, that is also painful. Note how the blood starts to drip down as he fastens it around it."
And x-men?
"Oh, she? Well, you know how a microwave works? She just pulled his particles apart. No harm done. It does not hurt like it did Wolverine when those strange things the punk thug shot at him were sticking in his stomach. But he's fine now, see? The professor has just been blasted apart, sorry."
And movies like Closer?
Nooooo. Can't have children watch that, sorry. Not until they're 18. They cannot be confronted with bad language and OMG!! sex before they are at least 15. They do say the "f-word" a lot. And that one guy says the c-word for female thingies. Tut, tut.
Homicide and ritual self-mutilation are much nicer and child-safe.
I mean, I know the ratings are crappy, but it is becoming completely ridiculous, especially US American and Irish ratings. I know that there is a trend which condones violence in TV and forbids sexuality, but why does this have to go further and further? It has become so absolutely ridiculous.
