anybody over 17...really?

so rated R movies are bad i get it, but are they all equally bad? isn't it fair to say that one man's R is another's PG? their is indeed merit to the idea that everything after a certain point gets cast into R-land. seems to me that their is a disproportionate amount of movies then that get lumped together that are of very different spectrums. if 5 f__ks qualifies a movie as R then does over a hundred f__ks qualify another as more R?

that there is a difference is the unavoidable truth. the focus of ratings should be to define infractions and relate frequency. as shown above there is an attempt to further regulate and define severity but really this also is too vague. detailed descriptions allow for the viewer to make an informed choice and not be exposed to something that might damage themselves.

i walked out of funny games today. wasn't funny at all. i try to be open to art and expression but i know myself and the things that i just can't stand for and wish that there was a way to expand on that distinction before i set foot into a theater.
