Return of the R-Rated Movie

I noticed that studios are pushing a lot of R-Rated blockbusters this summer. The Matrix Reloaded already proved that a movie can be rated R and have a great run at the box office, but if T3: Rise of the Machines, Bad Boys II, and American Pie 3 all turn out well, maybe studios will get some sense in them and start producing more R-Rated films. It pisses me off when a studio has a potentially good movie on their hands and then butchers the hell out of it to get it down to a PG-13 rating. This seems to happen ALL the time nowadays. Hopefully this new slew of films will bring things back in order. What does any1 else think regarding this topic?

You forgot the other one, Wrong Turn. OUT TODAY!

Well also i dont think R-rated movies mean the same as they did before i mean look at like network TV some of those movies show enough as far as violence and language to be considered R rated. As times have changed where the stuff that makes an R-rated movie an R-rated movie becomes more common place and more accepted in society we have to re evaluate how they rate the movies

Or atleast thats what I think in my little world

Thats why i enjoy leaving in Canada almost all R rated movies in the US are AA here

bobby, we've always had 18a its just very rarely used. i cant remember a movie thats had 18a. almost every movie is rated 14a up here so its good for all of the younger people.

i want to see a r rated hoe-ror movie with no sex. that would be some sort of milestone. sex has ruined horror movies for 20 years. i say no more!!!

Son-Pet, I think the point of this thread was that, Last Summers Box Office had No R rated movies in the Top 10. Now with the release of The Matrix reload and T3, this summer should be hot.
