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?

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

Oh I thought we only had the 18A in canadian ratings for dvd/vhs releases, not in the theaters. No matter, the teens'll have to find an 18 year old now, because a lot of the movies that would have had a 14A before are getting slapped with 18A.

As for the removal of sex from horrors, no way dude, lots of sex makes bad horror movies good

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.
