Avatar (movie) rating.

[doucanoe]

My wife is getting off of work early today. I'm going to pick her up shortly and we decided that we would catch a movie. Our kids convinced us the we really "needed" to see Avatar in 3D on the big screen, so thats what we are going to see

I just looked up movie times and picked out a theater. In the process, I read the review and happened to glance at the rating description.

Avatar 3D
2 hrs. 40 min.
(PG-13), for intense epic battle sequences and warfare, sensuality, language and some smoking


Can someone here identify what about the above that I find... well, odd. I can't put a finger on why I find this troublesome exactly. I guess it's not the the fact that it is mentioned or argue that it's not unhealthy, but more to do with ideas implemented for the betterment of all and the progressive and incremental nature of rulemakers.

In the grand scheme of things it is meaningless but honestly, whats next? Can we expect rating descriptions making reference to "Consumption of fast foods" or "Unauthorized use of Non-Green vehicles for travel" in the near future?

I really don't expect all here to grasp my meaning. That too is the nature of things.

I'm thinking only you can tell us what you think is odd. Then maybe we can tell you why. I'd look up what PG-13 actually means first.

And if fast food is ever proven to be as lethal, addictive and insidious as tobacco, then maybe a warning would be in order for that too.

By the way, are you a smoker?

They recently released the first two years of Seseme Street.

Because the Grouch smoked cigars, it has a parental warning.

Last time we were in a theatre they were smoking, and they were not Marlboros.
