    Lloyd Kaufman (yes, the guy from Troma) has some good insight into the MPAA in his book Make Your Own Damn Movie if I remember correctly. I believe he recounts how they (MPAA) wouldn't give a Troma movie a R rating because it had squibs in it. Lloyd then points out that a movie like Die Hard can have tons of squibs in it and still get a R rating.

    Then again Lloyd is a little bit crazy so who knows if his word means anything.

    You're talking about troma's war. It wasn't squibs. Every action movie uses squibs.

    There's a shot of a of man getting a bullet to the stomach, and he has a peach in his mouth. They suggested cutting this scene to maintain an R rating. According to the MPAA you can't mix food and violence.

    Do random acts of violence against food count aswell?

Even if you didn't find any of them scary or even entertaining, I think anyone who really appreciates horror has to be able to see the value of what's in front of them, especially when it's been created under the restrictions of PG-13 rating.

    Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to M. Night Shamalyan's first R rated movie this summer; think it's called The Happening.
    M. Nights sucks. His best movie was Sturt Little.

    Anyway. I prefer horror as rated r, but sometimes there are gems in a pg13 movie. I think it depends on the type of scare, and type of film. A zombie movie better be rated r. I wanna see blood .ripping skin. intestine eating and so forth. A movie about ghosts can get away with a pg13 though

    I think M. Night's one of the most talented horror movie makers today. He's able to work in all of the traditional ideas of how to go about a horror movie; never showing the monster, tricks with the lighting, etc. He even takes the time to throw in symbolism - which the horror genre may not really be so ideal for, but it's always good to have and look back on in a second or third viewing.

    The thing to admire about him is that he's meticulous. The ratio of good movies to bad ones, more than any other genre, really works against it. It seems like a lot of the best horror movies recently, you can tell the director and writers were like, "Let's just get to work on making a really great horror movie," and they go from there. M. Night makes just makes great overall movies that happen to be horror.

    No M Night makes a movie that has to have some big twist at the end, and also get his face somone where in the flick. Symbolism aside, and mind you CLASSIC horror has symbolism more then M.Night. He is a one hit wonder, and based on that was aloud to make other movies, which all are terrible. Unbreakable, Village and Lady in the water or whatever it was are horrible flicks. Signs was good, and had good elements. And sixth sense was a good movie but not horror.

    Well regardless of what certain places "label" a movie...the original genre it's creators intended is what it is...Both Gremlins are comedies, as well as Hocus Pocus. You should send some e-mails and set em straight

    The only 2 good M. Night movies are Unbreakable and The Villiage. The twist in the Villiage alone makes it awesome...NO ONE saw that coming.

    The twist made it horrible. And Gremlins though a comedy was intended to be a bit of a horror movie. Joe Dante himself told Roger Corman he was out to make a horror movie right before he made gremlins.

    Gremlins set out to be horror and comedy.

    Reptilian creatures destroying a small town and terrorizing its citizens (Horror) Reptilian creatures on a destructive rampage that take time out to enjoy Snow White (comedy).
