SOOOOOO...The new Deadpool movie is gonna be PG13.

PG13

Maybe he can give an anti-drug speech in there somewhere. Or maybe have a cute talking mascot. Soundtrack includes uplifting songs by Elton John.

Weird, because the teaser footage was pretty damn violent?

Yeah, I know.

But PG13 gets one F-bomb per movie, and gore?  You gotta raise little soldiers somehow.

Oh right, I forgot gore was ok in kids movies.

G rated movies get nothing at all.  They are generally restricted to horror stories such as those put out by Disney, in which the scars and conditioning are inflicted more indirectly.  Pocahontas, for example.

Suu

In random movie news, Mr. Suu has been on a western kick as of late. Bad westerns. Though right now we are watching Fist Full of Dollars, which is of course, a goddamn legend among films, but some of these ones he's finding are just atrocious. Not just spaghetti westerns either, which he usually turns off because he can't stand the dubbing, but just old crusty ones from the 50s that are horrific in all the things.  :horrormirth:

I have actually never watched the classic Wild Wild West series until now, and it's FRIGGIN AMAZING.

Get him on some classic spaghetti westerns.  El Topo (if you're feeling WEIRD), or Los Manitas Gehennas.

Is it steampunky too?

...Not like the movie, no. But there ARE random gizmos, like where they hide all the guns on the train.  :lulz:

Just a bit.

He was pretty clever, though, in pointing at "bad apples", rather than the bushel.  Considering when and where he published.

I kinda of want to find a copy of the trippy Pasolini movie from the 70s.  :lulz:

If you're looking for "WTF AMERICA" westerns, try Sam Peckinpah.

My new thing with PD "trolls" is to just change the topic of conversation to something which actually interests me.

I feels that's safe to admit here since David Duke doesn't seem to read anything but his own vanity thread.

No, he'll be sicking it up all over the board by this time next week.
