You're basing all this off of your opinions of how scary or how intense you find something. I al ready told you - you aren't on the MPAA. Stop complaining about what they view as terror or intense.
Yes I do. (2) I couldn't believe how many of my Freud s and family on Facebook were aware of the film. The premise ALONE got it multiple headlines. You are seriously a joke if you try and deny it wasn't promoted. (3) I never said TGI didn't manipulate the MPAA. (4) It also isn't torture ****. It just happens to be a film that is more brutal in concept and execution. It's a horror film.
(5) Horror fans DO prefer R rated horror films. The GP prefers PG-13 (light) horror because most don't like straight horror. So nothing I said is contradictory. You just didn't think of that I guess. (6) There have also been some effective horror films (The Ring) that satisfies horror fans and the GP alike.
(7) I already stated that the MPAA is inconsistent and nit picky. That doesn't change the ratings films get. I could care less what anyone feels about the content not being as scary as a film with a weaker rating. That's a waste of energy because it can't be changed. And I will not be watching The Final Girls and I am perfectly content with that. I don't think I'm missing much. |
Genuine question: Is English your first language? Not only are you misreading my posts which are clearly written but twisting my words also. I'm going to lay this post out real nice for you, reference points and all.
1) Where did I deny that The Conjuring had multiple sequences of violence and terror? I didn't. I am saying that just because a film HAS sequences of violence and terror doesn't mean it's a terrifying movie. And okay at you ignoring my point about Annabelle.
2) I can use the same logic and say that none of my friends or family talked about TGI. Because they didn't. Most of my friends are horror fans and none of them mentioned it. That doesn't mean it wasn't promoted. Obviously it was promoted, it was given a wide release, but it wasn't a "crazy" amount of promo. It didn't get nearly as much promo as the usual Blum film.
3) What? You said "That film [TGI] is the definition of doing that [manipulating ratings for publicity]." I rebutted that that makes no sense because it would be nearly impossible to make a film about cannibalism that isn't rated R.
4) It's a horror film with heavy amounts of gore, torture (including of genitalia), and nudity. That's torture ****.
5) If the GP prefers PG-13 then why are they so hard to come by these days? Why are R rated horror films so successful?
6) If the PG-13 film The Ring satisfied both horror fans and the GP, why do you refuse to watch The Final Girls?
7) No, you haven't.
This is really just a waste of time at this point so think what you want. I think you should take a Sociology course though.
MY POINT: Horror producers manipulate MPAA ratings by including just enough scenes of
something to require an R rating, even if the majority of the movie doesn't warrant the rating, because an R rated horror movie is going to be interpreted as more scary than a PG-13 and generate more hype.
Does that mean Annabelle is more scary than The Conjuring? Using your logic that must be so?
it's a movie about people getting kidnapped and terrorized by a cannibal tribe... please explain to me how a film like that can be anything below R. And mess at you resorting to technicalities to try making a point 
Loved Tracy too, such a mom they were such a good
So far so good! I'm actually already wondering what season 2 of SQ is gonna be like. A whole new setting and story.
