Avatar producer explains how to market to kids despite PG-13 rating
- avar 16y agoI don't see the moral problem this article hints at. The film is rated PG-13, not the concept of Avatar or the merchandise. And given the comments about True Lies any subversion of the rating system sounds like a great thing. Obviously otherwise excellent movies are being made into mediocre crap so that they can reach a wider audience and rake in more money.
- lzw 16y agoThe rating system is defacto government censorship. It was created in response to congress's threat to pass laws censoring movies. A better strategy might have been to let congress pass those laws, so fewer americans would be under the illusion that government doesn't control the media. But the only proper response, I think, is to say FoRK THE MPAA! Watching "This movie is not yet rated" is a good way to spend an evening--- streaming on netflix last I looked.
