Am I the only one...
...who finds this irritating?

(My rant is forthcoming, but I've got to run out for a couple of hours. I'd like to hear what other people think...)

My rant has had time to simmer, so it won't be as exciting as I promised, but here's the cliff notes:
The MPAA bugs me in general. The completely arbitrary nature with which they determine what counts as "G" vs. "PG" vs. "PG-13" vs. "R" is ridiculous to me. They're inconsistent, for one, and they demonize language and sex far more often than they demonize violence, which irritates me to no end.
The other thing that bugs me is that the original ("R") version here in the United States got a "12 and Older" rating in the UK. I'm sick and tired of the puritanical nonsense in this country. How is the movie fine for European pre-teens but not acceptable for anyone under the age of SEVENTEEN (without parental supervision) in this country? Mind blowing.
To top it off, I think this is yet another example of other people wanting the rest of the world to do their "jobs" for them, especially parents. I sincerely doubt that there is a large enough percentage of people out there who went, saw the "R" version of The King's Speech, and thought "Gee. I let my 14-year-old to see this if the content was sanitized down to a PG-13 level." No. People just wait for the MPAA to sit around and make decisions for them. It p!sses me off.
Okay. Rant done. And I'm hoping the original/R version remains available, because the film truly is brilliant and worthy of being seen as is.
