Why Fear the End of the R-Rated Superhero Movie?
brumgrunt writes "Last year, Marvel said that R-rated comic book superhero movies weren't in its future plans. Now, in the light of Watchmen's box office performance, Warner Bros is going the same way, meaning high-profile comic book superhero films will be restricted to the PG-13 rating at most. But is this a bad thing, and should we fear the end of the R-rated superhero movie?"
it was Dr. Manhattan's package that those seven people were turned off by (my sister said it was like watching porn)
If your sister likened the Doctor's blue dong to porn, she is into some freaky shit.
Linux, you magnificent bastard, I read the fucking manual!
I'm looking forward to NC-17 rated superhero movies instead.

... you've been playing too much Grand Theft Auto, and he hasn't.
For some reasons parents don't mind violence,
We are born selfish and violent, lashing out (stomping feet, hitting, biting, scratch, hitting, etc) when we don't get want.
About half of us were also born with schlongs.
Europe is so ass backwards with its, socialism, communism, capitalism, dictatorships... FFS pick one!
Pick a straw man, you mean?
At least we have a Federal Reserve and a single currency. Are you using Lira or Euros? Pounds or Euros? Duetchmarks or Euros? Franks or Euros?
The continent of North America has a single federal reserve, and US Dollars are the standard currency throughout? I don't think so.
However, suggesting that Europe is LESS screwed up is pretty offensive to the descendants of, and the people, that sacrificed their lives to rescue Europe from the Germans, Russians, and Japanese.
You lose the thread.
Additioanlly most of us have/will have sex,...
Remember, this is Slashdot...
Yeah, I almost feel bad even going for such low-hanging fruit.
My grandmother used anecdotal evidence all the time, and she lived to be 120 years old.
About half of us were also born with schlongs.
And HALF of those have schlorts, if you suffer in the comparison the blue guy, I can see why you'd rather not be reminded that schlongs exist.
This issue is a bit more complicated than you think.
We get it, we get it, you really liked Dr. Manhattan.
Nerd rage is the funniest rage.
Anonymous Coward? You're so old you don't even have a user ID!
Just because this is Slashdot doesn't mean we don't have sex.
Nobody specified it had to be with someone else.
You are welcome on my lawn.
my sister said it was like watching porn
Your sister watches Smurf porn ?!?!
