Has anyone else noticed that movies are becoming more disturbing by the year? (Month, really) It seems like people take so much more blood, guts and gore in order to "like" a movie. I personally think movies go too far sometimes. Not that I'm completely against them or anything, but they are so scary that I, as an adult sometimes can't sleep Embarassed

I think movies have gotten tamer. The studios have lately been obsessed with editing movies from R's and PG-13's to PG-13 and PG, respectively. In the past it was just making sure it could avoid an NC-17 rating.

If you've ever seen a comedy afflicated by this you will notice most fo the jokes have disappeared or words are awkwardly edited.

"Kicking and screaming" was obviously planned to be PG-13. I actually noticed the edited out F-Bomb when he spilled the coffee all over himself in that one.

I agree - I think they are getting tamer. Or, at the very least, they are all starting to be just more killing, blood and screaming. I am waiting for something to mess with my mind and give me nightmares again.

I don't think that they have gotten tamer, I think the rating system has just changed. There are still some nasty, gory movies out there (I stay away from most of them).



Bee Bop Bee Bop!

What I notice is improved acting, filming and the growing sophistication of directors to get to the nerves of the audience. Outside of that, I wouldn't say movies have gone worse. Perhaps it's the violent movies that got into you. Yeah, they've gotten more sophisticated too. Take G.I. for instance.

As to me, I'm enjoying pretty well the way they have come up with Avatar, Toy Story, Despicable Me, etc. If you don't like depressing stories, I suggest you simply change the genre of the movies you watch. Watching movies, to me, becomes an investment and not an expense when I come out of them smiling, beaming and feeling better about life.
