"Damn You Hollywood! TERMINATOR 4 is PG-13!"

On May 5th, son_of_Jack led the enraged cry over the rumored rating of Terminator 4 -- not the fact that it exists, but that it's rated PG-13. Oh well. At least this means we won't see Arnold Schwartz... Schwartzennemhiemr's (close enough) increasingly flabby ass ten minutes into the movie. Right?

[Hey! Click here to read the original thread!]

son_of_Jack: That's right folks, the studio behind Terminator: Salvation is shooting for a PG-13 rating. First the Alien and Predator films, then Die Hard, and now they're neutering The Terminator. And don't you just love the fucking reason they're doing it:

"...If we can make a compelling film to reach the widest audience, why wouldn't we do it?"

And then there's this one:

A family-friendly rating opens many doors, including a "Terminator Salvation" licensing deal for action figures with Playmates Toys.

This just confirms what I've said all along-- Hollywood has sold the soul of good movies just to make a little more money.

It's true, the classics just aren't getting the rated-R treatment that they so rightly deserve. Why censor great film characters like John McClane? Just so some parent can take their 10-year-old to the movies instead of a kennel?

Joining the call to rage, other posts had more to add...

CHERUB2G: Damn you Hollywood!!!!!!!!! You're making another terminator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Demarius_b: Hey... Christian Bale is playing John Connor... so I can't be that bad!! It's supposed to take place after Judgement Day and its going to be another Trilogy, that shows everything leading up to the defeat of SKYNET

But the name of the movie is the dumbest title EVAR!!! "Terminator: The Return of the Terminator" NO BULLSHIT... that's what the latest name for the movie is!!

donkeykong57: Don't forget about the Sarah Connor Chronicles...(barf)

alexdudecrazy108: I dont know if it will be amazing with the pg13 since terminators have been dark but Live Free Or Die Hard was really good for being PG-13.

But, blueandgreen brings it home with the attitude that will most likely kill the next Terminator movie's chances for an Academy Award...
