I mean seriously name any movie in the history of Hollywood and at least 1 line or scene can be highlighted as outdated, offensive or racially ‘whitewashed’. You’d literally have to delete the majority of Westerns from the early Century 30’s through 70’s. How many times did Burt Reynolds depict an Indian ffs. Aliens is a head scratcher. I thought it was for ‘Vazquez’. Ironic though as it spawned one of the most badass characters for a female lead over the movies and stood apart.
Warnings like what? Don't record this & sell on the black market? Or "This movie contains nudity, profane language, sexual content, etc" .....the warnings have only gotten longer you've got to warn people about smoking these days. Why? Who is the target audience for these warnings? And as you see from the list of films the warnings themselves are arbitrary and lump everything together regardless of if it's satire or a comedy or serious. 'Tropic Thunder' is offensive? Really? To who?

As per usual Beanz excuses stupidity.

Nowhere did i condone or approve your stupidity.


If your idea of censorship is not having the right to demand a private company remove a warning from a product they have paid for the rights to, you probably need to have a little more grit sprinkled in your shoes... softy.
Ironic how Mr. Photographer, Mr. Punk Rock is ok with warning labels on art. I guess you wouldn't remember Tipper Gore and the PMRC who slapped a warning label on Frank Zappa's entirely INSTRUMENTAL album, Danzig skirted the PMRC with the lyrics in 'Mother', Dee Snider of 'Twisted Sister' railed against Tipper Gore in front of Congress, NOFX wrote 'The PMRC Can Suck on This'......and yet here you are defending this warning label. How very punk of you


It ain't my place to speak over the artist's meaning or crowd their style. I can have an opinion on art, but I don't require a warning Grandma.
Well yeh the standard rating system warnings they do. As long as I can recall there’s been advisories for shows or movies on public air and sure they’ve added in as times change. Like I said I’d rather that than editing out or censoring movies. But that’s also been done for the longest. Studios often rework versions both for ‘public’ aka free commercial network vs an HBO or theater etc. As long as I can get the uncut version than as a consumer that’s where I’ll go. Do they really have warnings for smoking in movies?? Truth is I haven’t been to a theater in years but haven’t seen a warning for it on a Netflix or Hulu etc. I know they prohibit paid product placement for tobacco but unsure of a mandated warning.
