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"

southeastastra · 30/06/2006 22:13

'contains mild peril' really makes me laugh

hunkermunker · 30/06/2006 22:41

"contains bloody violence and one cunt"

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.

hunkermunker · 30/06/2006 22:52

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?

OP posts:
hunkermunker · 30/06/2006 22:53

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)
