This is what a Teabagger sent me about AVATAR and why his kids are NOT allowed to see the movie |
|
Sex & Nudity A female native(alien) wears indigenous attire. Her bare breasts are pretty much visible throughout the entire film, though there is no discernible areolae.
Male natives wear loincloths that cover front.
Several alien behinds are seen, though most of it is covered by the tail.
A male and female begin to kiss. The female jumps on the man and moans slightly. (Sex is implied.)
An alien character fondles his ponytail (which we later learn is a sensory organ) and is told "If you keep doing that, you'll go blind."
Violence & Gore Numerous scenes of alien creatures being killed, some by other creatures, some by humans. A wolf-like creature has to be put out of pain.
A man gets semi-eaten then thrown by a dragon-like creature.
A man is shot with two large arrows and is seen suffering to expiration.
Intense battle sequences where both vehicles and their operators are destroyed.
Profanity Moderate profanity including: dick, shit
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking Moderate Smoking
Moderate drinking and references to drinking in a positive light
Frightening/Intense Scenes Numerous scenes of pursuit, some by alien creatures, some by humans.
An attack sequence where something important is destroyed is distressful to the characters, so much so that they wail in mourning.

4. Well by god you stick to your guns. And go see as many films as you |
|
please.
For what it's worth, I'd love to see Hollywood make films the way other nations' film-makers make films -- far lower in budget and far greater in quality.
'Haven't seen AVATAR but may pile a bunch of nieces and nephews and grand-nieces in the car over the holidays and give it a try.
:thumbsup:

13. A good writer does not eschew all available implements. |
|
Jack Nicholson's characters are coarsely-spoken, and to very good effect.

8. Why would a teabagger be against their children seeing violence? |
|
They advocate war and violence and seem to even have a lust for it.

9. I saw it Tuesday. It was good. I need to watch the 3D version to see if I |
|
can see all these things. Action happens so fast in the more intense scenes that I could not remember these things.
What the teabagger didn't have on the list was the allusion to our wars of aggression, where the strong takes from the weak, their ways superior to the "primitives."
I find that more offense than men and women in blue body suits, scantily clothed.
Oh, when the one is shot by the arrows, you're practically cheering -- at least I was.

15. That's it? I thought the whole anti-war-for-resources thing would do it |
|
At least, according to a facebook post I saw: "God, why do we always have to be the bad guys, sure bad things happened, but nobody's perfect!"

If he's worried about THAT he certainly better not let them read the BIBLE.

18. Imagine what he thought of Dr Manhattan's Giant Blue Uncircumcised Penis starring in Watchmen |
|

At least James Cameron allowed the male Na'Vi and Jake's avatar to always have strategic obscurations of their naughty bits.

19. Right, I thought they'd be much more concerned about the movie basically shitting on everything Bush |
|
did when he was in Office and America has done for hundreds of years. There are really some blatant digs at Bush and the made up "War on Terror".
I loved the move though and agree that there are definitely some aliens with great asses in it.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0499549/parentalguideAt first I thought it was from one of those fundie/Christian movie review sites (some of them are good for a laugh with their observations/criticisms).

28. Perhaps he should rent a nice wholesome movie from the 1950's, like... |
|
"The Girl Can't Help it".
more feigned indigence from the right wing nuts who fear everything.
Hell, I saw, The Wild Bunch" when I was a little kid, yet I'm a pacifist today.
Critical thinking is an amazing thing.
