Movies I Saw On the Weekend

[Get F***ed]

Lantana (Minus the first 15 minutes) - unless something really important happened in those first 15 minutes,  I wish I'd stayed home, but I was glad when the woman went missing, she was giving me the shits the most.

Black Hawk Down - It had blood n' guts, gore, raw human emotion, err, drama, guns, umm, shooting, comraderie. Not much comedy though.
But gore, oh did it have gore!

Five gory bits:
1) A guy lying on the ground, blown in half, but still alive.
2) When a guy gets shot in the leg, and is bleeding to death, they have to cut the wound open further, so that they can find his severed femoral artery, and stop the bleeding.
3)When a kid finds a severed hand on the ground in the middle of a shootout, and it has a gold watch on it, he picks it up and puts it in his bag.
4) A guy gets his thumb shot off, and tries to put it back on.
5) A guy gets shot through the head, and covers everyone in the humvee in blood.

P.S. Speaking of the weekend, did anyone else think it was wierd that there was a fishing trawler so close to shore at scarborogh beach?

well thanks for telling us the whole fricken movie!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Get F***ed]

Noooooo way, there's heaps more to it than that.
It DID have an R rating, think what they had to cut out to get it to MA.

They probably didnt cut anything, if you make a war movie and its a true story, you can make it as accuratly graphic as you want, and it wont get an R rating, with just a warning of "Graphic war scenes".

[Campbell]

It wasn't extremely graphic by any stretch of the imagination except for the one medical scene which was, a medical scene so it's the same kind of crap you see in medical dramas. It's just the context was different.
And James is right, they didn't cut anything from the film, the ratings board isn't allowed to do that. It's like saying, "Oh, they've re-rated "Hannibal" "R" so the ratings board must have added heaps of stuff into the film.".

The ratings board wouldn't cut anything, the producers would have the option of removing content the censors object to, if they want the movie to have a lower rating, and allowing more people to see it. It's a bit of a trade off, how much of the film they want to cut, in order to get a bigger audience.

Then what the fuck are you talking about Mark?

[Thomas]
