Reply to What are some weird movie age ratings, like films that don’t deserve this very mature age rating or something like that? by My_cat_is_sus

Ratings in US are strange and UK in some ways is a lot more strict (I’ve come to learn). For example, Titanic has a scene of very obvious nudity and is only PG-13, but there have been films like Halloween (2018) where there’s just a couple of frames of it. Maybe 3 moments where there’s I guess a “decent” amount of blood and it’s rated R. I suppose censors look at the “context” I honestly have no clue because I’m just as confused sometimes. Just like Paranormal Activity is rated R but it’s only because the F word is said a small handful of times along with some minor PG-13 cussing.

Reply to Rocky Horror or Phantom of the Paradise? by l00ky_here

Can’t say anything about the latter as I’ve never seen it. But Rocky Horror will always have a special place in my heart. The only other one I enjoy possibly more and it’s only because of the music is Repo! The Genetic Opera

Reply to Why do so few American movies let foreign language speaking characters speak their own language? Why does everything have to be in English... by _wyfern_

Unfortunately a lot of people I know, my wife, sister, dad, cousins and a few other friends in my life do not like reading subtitles and they will shit on movies that are dubbed because it looks and sounds cheap. I am in a completely different league and have come to enjoy a lot of foreign films over American ones. Particularly in the horror genre but others as well

Reply to do u think this era of up and coming actors could fill the big shoes of legendary actors from the past? by we_are_ghetto

Maybe to the younger generations, but for someone like me not really. I’m sure later on in life when the ones we all know and love have gone, the newer generations are going to look at the ones you mentioned and say so. I really dig Evan Peters and Robert Pattinson has come to surprise me recently. Also Tom Holland for The Devil All The Time (which also had Pattinson)

Reply to Films that are excellent to throw on at night and fall asleep to. I need some suggestions, and I have a few that work for me. by Single_View_3645

I tend to fall asleep well to comedies, I will either pop on Rick and Morty which I’ve probably seen each episode 100 times, Airplane, Spaceballs, Robing Hood Men in Tights. Humor has always been my go to for soothing and to assist in turning my brain off, which is something I have a very difficult time doing on my own

Reply to What fictional movie character do you think should have done more to prevent historical atrocities like the Holocaust? by today_okay

I think Watchmen semi addresses this. For example, there’s a scene where Edward Blake/The Comedian, is walking out of an alley way and you see two parents with a little boy during the opening montage, which we are lead to assume both of Bruce’s parents lived along with Bruce. Also they use Dr. Manhattan in the Vietnam war and he just dominates everything in which the US ends up winning the war instead of just pulling out and giving up

Reply to comment by Jack_Q_Frost_Jr in [REVIEW] "Rocky Horror Picture Show": How a Movie I Knew Nothing About Became the Ultimate Mind-Blowing Experience by [deleted]

Interesting. I didn’t watch Rocky Horror until I meet my now ex, her dad used watch the midnight premieres back in the day when it first started to develop a cult following. So first we watched the movie together, I loved it, I watched it again like 20 times by myself and learned the callouts. But her dad was one of the few people I know to have seen shock treatment and told me not to bother. But as I said maybe one of these I’ll check it out
