Me: "Hey mom and dad, would you mind coming to the movies with me?"

 

 

 

Mom: "Awww, we haven't seen a movie with you since you were little. We'd love to come"

 

 

 

Me: "Well you don't actually have to see it with me"

 

 

 

Dad: "Well what do you mean son?"

 

 

 

Me: "Well it's just that Cyborg HornDogs from Hell Part 5 is rated PG-25 and I'm only 20, a college student that can buy alcohol, drive a car, and go to war for his country but apparently this movie is just too hardcore for most people my age and I need you guys to tell the guy at the Ticket Booth that I'm allowed to see it anyway."

Sounds like government censorship to keep young people from getting any ideas.

Although a certificate of 25 may be taking things too far, I'm in agreement that certificates do require adjustment.

 

 

 

I mean, I can't believe Beowulf was rated 12. No 12 year old should see that movie. That's just one example.

 

 

 

Images and scenes from movies DO influence us all. Usually it's in a good way, but there are those of us who are inspired to do nasty stuff.

I have a good friend who is 24 and has a kid, and a wife. He's also served in the Marines (and had serious back pains for more than a year), pays his mortage and car payments...

 

 

 

But the government would have balls to tell him he can't go and see "Saw 5" (hypothetical future film) because he's underage? :lol: :lol: (I just can't express how stupid the idea is)

 

 

 

Way to encourage the thais to online movie piracy...

It's already happening, this is just a way to fortify it :P

Is this only in Tailand? (has nothing to do with anything...just thought I'd ask)

 

 

 

 

 

I definitely agree that this is going to far. What happens if other countries(U.S., England, ect.) try to impose this kind of thing on people aswell. Can you spell "riots"? :P

Wow. This makes me REALLY want to see Cyber HornDogs from Hell Part 5!!!! :twisted:

I don't think its actually a movie :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

Try googling it...I got some pretty R rated(hehe) website links :oops:

Because that 7 years between being an adult and an adult with a mortgage makes all the difference.

I'm going to guess this is more or less for movies with a lot of nudity aka pron.. Psh, the internet has more than enough of that. I'd rather see that alone on my computer than in a movie theater with a bunch of other dudes..

Yeah, BlueLancer pretty much sums up my views on that. I don't know what more we can do, though. Protest?

Thanks for that. :|

 

 

 

OT: I would be outraged if i lived there. I even think the drinking age of 21 for some countries is pathetic.

Wow, that's pretty bad...

 

 

 

The Culture Ministry is also calling for an X rating, under which films would be banned outright, and their distribution outside the Kingdom would be prohibited. Films falling in this category would be ones that, in the view of the proposed Film and Video Board, "impact sovereignty, religion, and the monarchy."

 

 

 

:ohnoes:

Methinks these movies won't be very successful. :-w

What? First I needed to get a Over 18 card faked to get into movies, and now I need a Over 25 one? I don't think I'll be able to pull that off. Anyways, what kind of movies are these ratings for, ultraporn?

Nah, usually never. Try 'ultraviolence', 'ultragore' or films which make an extremely strong and valid point against dictatorship/tyranny/protocols.

 

 

 

I guess it's easy to make PG-25, and next thing you know, PG-35 when you are a conservative 62-year old thai politician who's only ever seen idyllic comedies and propaganda films...

 

 

 

Exactly the reason why most countries need more younger politicians... While the politicians get their paycheck raised every 6 months, get unlimited benefits, start new pension funds... Who's controlling them? Who's placing a PG-70 on overdrawing of public funds?

I find it ironic that one of the worlds most famous prostitution tourism stops has the most restrictive movie rating. Go figure. :-k

No, ultraporn you need a fake id for at age 58.
