Another of My Periodic Rants about the Idiots at the MPAA

Rating: 6/10 (7 February 2009)

The biggest movie last week was the revenge fantasy Taken, with its stabbings, garrotings, explosions, sex slavery, torture, gratuitous murders, manic car chases against traffic, and widespread splashes of blood. It was rated PG-13.
It opened the same day as The Uninvited, which features grisly fright scenes of decomposing corpses and decapitated bodies, along with teenage girls, drenched in blood, wielding butcher knives. Also PG-13.
But Frost/Nixon, a high-class production which is basically 2 guys having a political conversation in a living room, gets an R.
Question: Can anyone explain this?
Answer: No! Nobody can explain this, because it makes absolutely no sense. The MPAA is a bunch of frakkin' idiots.
