There is something truly wrong with the world when the dry history lesson of The Conspirator, the bland niceness of Larry Crowne, and the soul-crushing hellishness of Transformers: Dark of the Moon are all rated the same by our entertainment overlords.
I mean, is this insane, or what:
The Conspirator
MPAA: rated PG-13 for some violent content
BBFC: rated 12A (contains moderate violence and a hanging scene)
Larry Crowne
MPAA: rated PG-13 for brief strong language and some sexual content
BBFC: rated 12A (contains moderate sex references and one use of strong language)
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
MPAA: rated PG-13 for intense prolonged sequences of sci-fi action violence, mayhem and destruction, and for language, some sexuality and innuendo
BBFC: rated 12A (contains moderate action violence and one use of strong language)
In what universe — except for the bonzo one we live in — are “intense prolonged sequences of sci-fi action violence, mayhem and destruction” the equivalent of “some violent content” and “brief strong language”?
