Is small print on film warnings getting more and more mental?

"may contain acting"

daisy1999 · 30/06/2006 21:53

All Barbie "films" " may seriously annoy you"

'contains mild peril' really makes me laugh

Mild sexual swearing. Now what might that be?
PMSL at daisy. "It doesn't usually".

Gingerbear · 30/06/2006 22:50

that must be from 'Over the Hedge' Hunker.
Made me say WTF??

Marina · 30/06/2006 22:51

I would sooner take ds to see Raging Bull than Over the Hedge. Found Chicken Little bad enough.

WHY do they need to warn anyone about slapstick?!

Are there really parents out there who won't take children to see films with slapstick in them?

I mean, it's often fairly shit humour, but can anyone object to slapstick? Really?

Yes, it's from Over The Hedge. Looks bollocks.

Marina, would that be 'cos of the 'Mild Slapstick' then?

Marina · 30/06/2006 22:56

"Mild beating to a bloody pulp". Ds will love it and more importantly so will I.

Gingerbear · 30/06/2006 22:56

LOL!

controlfreaky2 · 30/06/2006 22:57

may make you want to slap someone with a v big stick...

Marina · 30/06/2006 22:57

Maybe they have maxed up the annoyance factor for the trailers then gingerbear. The one I saw made me contemplate eating my young so I'd never have to take either of them to the cinema again.

Gingerbear · 30/06/2006 22:57

I wish there had been a warning on 'Reservoir Dogs'.
I fainted at the ear slicing scene. DH thought I had nodded off.

Marina · 30/06/2006 22:58

"nodded off" he mistaketh it for The Ages and Ages of Innocence surely? How long were you out for?

Gingerbear · 30/06/2006 22:59

I thought you had posted 'Mind-beating to a mild pulp'
That is what most kids films do to adults.
I do like the Shrek-type ones though.

Gingerbear · 30/06/2006 23:00

I dunno, a few minutes - I had slumped in the seat apparently, so DH nudged me and said ' hey, you are missing the best bit!!"

fattiemumma · 30/06/2006 23:01

i actualy know someone whose sil will not allow her children to watch disney films as she thinks the baddies will teach them about evil!

i kid you not

Gingerbear · 30/06/2006 23:02

I remember taking a keema nan into the cinema to watch 'Ghandi'
Everyone thought it had 'surround-smell-o-vision'

Gingerbear · 30/06/2006 23:03

Some Disney baddies are vvv scary (the witch on Sleeping Beauty and wicked queen on Snow white still scare the shit out of me)

Snafu · 30/06/2006 23:05

PMSL Ginerbear

Admit it, you were so tempted by the wobbly, scratchy advert that came on just before the ice-cream break: "After the film, why not visit the Taj Mahal, right around the corner from this cinema?"

TinyGang · 30/06/2006 23:06

Some films should have 'Warning: May contain Americanisms that'll mean nothing to you'

I sat through Chicken Little in utter bewilderment at the 200mph smart ass dialogue. We don't do 'closure' round these paaarts like.

Gingerbear · 30/06/2006 23:10

Snafu, 'Ghandi' was so long, there was an 'interlude' -Pearl and Dean though, not the Potter's Wheel.
and yes, the Taj Mahal actually WAS around the corner (Flock wallpaper, the moving waterfall picture, and sequinned elephants)
