Funny MPAA Ratings that Ruin the Ending

Tara, Doug, and I were preparing to watch Of Gods and Men, a phenom French film, and we started talking about how absurdly detailed the funny MPAA ratings screens are getting at the start of movies. They’ll say PG-13 and then outline exactly how many scenes and what specific types of adult-material is involved.

Then one of us asked:

What if funny MPAA ratings got so detailed that they ruined the endings?

What if, in the description of why it got a PG-13, the entire movie came out?

These will have spoilers, so check the movie title before you look at the pictures. That’s the only warning.

Enjoy:

    Momento was rated R 🙂

    Seriously, though, great list, Lance! I loved it. What about Sixth Sense – PG-13 – Because he’s a ghost (if someone hasn’t seen that movie yet, I don’t feel bad for spoiling it).

    What a hoot, Lance. I could totally see this happening under some circumstances. Wonder what they would do with The Oddessy?

      Thanks, sis. The other night we watched one that was specific enough to figure out what happened. It was terrible. The Oddessy? haha. not sure. If these are popular enough, maybe I could do another one and even include some books.

  7. Fantastic Beasts Spoilers — Rancid Ep. 00 •

    […] We argued. Took some things seriously. Made some jokes. Achieved a nice blend, I think. The spoiler is half the length of the film, which shows it’s actually exceedingly difficult to properly spoil something. That’s kind of the point: our culture is over obsessed with viewer and reader virginity. I highlighted this in my MPAA Spoilers post. […]
