Now this is absurd...Ban Fahrenheit 9/11??

[cinder]

So...Fahrenheit 9/11 comes out tomorrow and is the most requested movie on moviefone.com

Is that nationally, or only on select screens (ala small movie houses in obscure neighborhoods)?

What, I'm going to think something's not funny because someone used a "bad" word?

I agree. I have never been so embarrassed by the US when Jackson bared her boob over TV. Who cares? Like you've never seen one before. All I have to do is look down, big whoop! Am I getting off topic?

It officially comes out on Friday I think. But small releases are tomorrow...

Thank you. I'll have to have date night with the hubby, go catch some burgers and the movie.

The only problem I had with the Super Bowl thing is that it was unexpected. You're listening to Howard Stern, you pretty much know what to expect. It's not for kids. Same thing with the Super Bowl half time show. You shouldn't have a problem with letting anyone in your family watch it, then here comes the boob. It's like watching the Sound of Music and nudity all of sudden pops out. It's not the act itself, it's the context.

Maybe there will be popping out boobs in the MOVIE, eh?

[cinder]

Thanks for that refurb. I support the R rating, if it's justified, and from what I read, it sure sounds like it.

[fairytalelover]

I agree, however, as our society becomes more accepting of the perpetual use of foul language, then what happens? I do not think that Stern is the cause of any degrading of our societal values, rather a reflection of what is happening in our culture.


(and yes, Cinder, this is getting a bit off-topic)

Yes but we have to cut it off somehwere dont we? Just because we are becomming more used to fowl language we shouldnt just let anyone do anything they want. The fact that we have become so numb to it is not a good thing. Stern did not cause this problem but if we let him do as he pleases on air then we are perpetuating the problem.

You know I think the R rating is justified but many teens I know are quite interested in seeing the movie. I think its great that teens are interested in it, or at least have an opinion...either for or against it. Maybe this means that teens are realizing the importance of politics and we will have a better voter turn out....its sad when American Idol can get five times the voting than does a presidential election.
