Gunner Palace and Ratings

by Armed Liberal at February 23, 2005 6:37 AM

Gunner Palace just received a "R" rating from the MPAA.

I've seen the film, and that's unbelievably absurd.

Some other folks agree, and I hope you do too. If you do, click here, and go sign the petition to get it the PG-13 rating it deserves.

If people are curious about the current U.S. movie rating system, the BBC explains the various ratings here.

#2 from Opinionated Bastard at 5:20 pm on Feb 23, 2005

Did some soldiers use a bad word? (Probably)

Does that mean an R rating? (Yes)

Does that really make sense? (No)

Is the petition moot because using the F word means an R? (Yes)

Move along, nothing to see here.

Opinion from a combat veteran (Kosovo), which I heard second-hand:

The show sucks. The major is a lousy leader, the engagements suggest that there is never discipline in combat, the show makes the US army look unprofessional (unfairly).

Haven't seen it. But these seem like more substantive issues with the show than the profanity.

The link seems to be broken...

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.

Finally, note that a constant onslaught of Trackback spams from auto-generated blogspot blogs has forced Winds to ban the blogspot.com domain from use in comments or trackbacks. If you host on blogspot, consider moving; otherwise, the complaints need to be directed at Google not us.
