Revenge of the Sith a "Blood Bath"
An anonymous reader writes "The BBC is reporting that the Revenge of the Sith is a blood bath and is to recieve a PG-13. One notable point from the article is Lucas is quoted as saying "But I have to tell a story. I'm not making these, oddly enough, to be giant, successful blockbusters. I'm making them because I'm telling a story, and I have to tell the story I intended." As he lit a cigar with a large stack of burning 20's."
Yuh-hunh. Sin City and Kill Bill Volume 1 move over, this one's a blood bath. OOOOooooo....
That's the problem with them damn Brits, they don't realize it's boobies in movies that's the real corrupting influence, not a little innocent killing and maiming.

...would love to see Jar Jar Binks' death scene.
Circumcision is child abuse.
I love it when a good plan comes together.
Unfortunately it won't stop parents from bringing their five year screaming, whining kids to the theaters so they can throw popcorn around and kick our seat backs. Of course if the movie's as ultraviolent as everyone's making it out to be, they'll just add to the illusion of debris flying through the air and the solid punch of the subwoofer.

Spoiler Alert: Jar Jar drowns during the MonCal Water Spectacular gurgling "OH NOES! ITSA BEESA TRAP!", while a young Ensign Ackbar holds up a sign reading "9.8".
"Problem Child 2"? I'd say the theater did you a favor no matter what you age was.
"So why'd you leave Tatooine? Was it the desert?"
"No."
"The criminal element?"
"No."
"The poverty?"
"No."
"The slavery?"
"No."
"Well what was it?"
"Some jackass threw Jar Jar Binks into a pit of man-eating Sarlacc. He's been screaming 'Meesa needs help! Meesa ouchies! Help meesa!' for the last 300 years. Only 700 more to go."
I dunno, but I could have sworn I saw my ex in the scene. The staff with feathers on it and the bear-claw-laden necklace was throwing me off a little though.

Degenerate Jedi: Yeah know, they say once you go darkside you never go back.

George Lucas does not use cash to light his cigars. And I really wish people would stop characterizing him as such.
He uses the $20 bills as toilet paper (due to their cottony softness). He uses orignial Shakespearean manuscripts to light his cigars.
In the future, please be more sensitive.

To think that this movie is somehow more violent than *this* planet is amusing. It is a restless day in which somebody is not blown to smithereens in Iraq yet I am supposed to feel outraged that the new Star Wars movie earned a pg-13 rating?
I'd say the Iraq war should be rated at least an R.

I did a quick search, and sadly can't find the part where Jar Jar get's decapitated. Can you help me find this? I know it's in there. It has to be in there.
If we go with our kids, it'll be because we can't find a babysitter and so decide to drag our kids along with us rather than the other way around.
When I went to see LOTR: Return Of The King during the day, a very young father brought his little girl with him so he could see the movie. Bad move. The kid was very interested in the cartoon advertisements just before the movie started, and when the first scene opened with Gollum biting into a fish, the poor kid went berserk and started balling at the top of her voice. I wondered if he ever tried to get a refund for his tickets since he didn't see the movie, and if anyone cited him for child abuse.
Don't know about anyone else, but my brother-in-law just spent 7 hours standing in line at the Star Wars convention to get a special Darth Vader action figure. He's 30, a married college grad in the Army and thus not exactly a kid.
Perhaps it has something to do with getting back from a tour of Afganistan. I think his wife hopes it was.
"Seven Deadly Sins? I thought it was a to-do list!"
Or, as we used to say when we were kids:
G = Good
PG = Pretty Good
R = Really Good
X = Xcellent
Young anakin is actually DARTH VADER!!!
Meh.
So at the start of Episode 4, Yoda and Obi-wan are like the only Jedi still alive. This movie starts out with a bunch of Jedi living. BUT I NEVER EXPECTED A BLOOD BATH!!!!!!!!

Hi, I'm from a little place called America.
I think that's an unfair comparison. People have been fighting bloody, dangerous, daring wars since the dawn of man. It's a natural part of our culture, our species, and our instinct. Sex, on the other hand, is dangerous, dirty, disgusting, and objectifies people. Sexual education should not be tought to our impressionable children before they turn 21, and Sexual intercourse should only be practiced to create a child, and even then nothing fancy. And if you recieve pleasure from such an act, you must immediately repent, or you, most likely, will go to Hell.
Remember, fear the lord, kill Arabs, and God bless America!

I'll admit that I've not seen the movie so forgive me, but wouldn't the above certainly warrant at least an R?
