So are we positive this isn't an elaborate PR stunt for the movie? This seems highly suspect.

Yes! Funny sure, but so obviously PR it's insulting

Petition started for PG-13 "Pizza Delivery Three Way" @pornhub in honor of nine year old Mike almost at 1000 signatures in just a few hours!

Well the kid can stream it online like the rest of us who don't wanna wait for dvds

Wow, a 1000 votes from 320 million americans. This will make an impact. Even this post has more votes as her poll. GL with this mom.

They should release a PG13 version, but it's literally just the opening credits, him sat on the bridge doing the doodle, and closing credits

It's a movie about a guy who kills people for a living and cracks jokes about it that an eight year old kid won't understand... So why?

He probably wont understand the jokes anyways just like we didn't understand all the Disney innuendos.

Even if it would make more money, it would also be a shitty Deadpool movie
Sprixxen
I don't get what this is about? Isn't Deadpool rated R? Can't the 8 year old just go see it with a parent anyway?
chocomallow
Considering my SO saw Predator in theaters at 7. Yes, he can see it with a parent.
VonShnitzel
It's not that they can't, it's that parents want it toned down for kids.
Oh I thought she meant she wanted the same movie but for the rating to be changed. I get it now.
JeanZedlav
Because mum/he doesn't know that. They just heard 'superhero'
TheDeckhand
That's the thing deadpool isn't even a superhero he's a mercenary
Yeah, but she doesn't KNOW that. I mean, we do, but she doesn't. She thinks he's like superman and doesn't understand why the kid can't go
argetbrisingr
Did she not see the original trailer where he holds up a guys head through the car window?
Maybe just the valentine one.

The only thing close enough to a pg13 DeadpooL is the green band trailers for the film, and they aren't really pg13 either

She can take her son to the movie if she wants. She would be a horrible parent but she can do it.
GylfieTheOwl
To be fair, my parents let me see whatever movies/games with them that I wanted regardless of rating & age and they had 0 influence of me.
She can also wait until FX starts to show it in their monthly weekend rotation.
TheWorstPirateYouHaveEverHeardOf
Don't they normally cut things out?
That's the point.
somebodythatyouusetoknow
She already is a horrible parent. Instead of saying no and it being firm from her, she's putting blame on the studio so it's not her fault.
Agreed. Not everything made is meant for all ages.
The point is she wants a version appropriate for the kid
CamelSpotter
Simple. Wait until it's on TV.
How will that make murder more kid-friendly?
By the FCC censoring the movie to the point where it couldn't even offend a nun.
I get the feeling Deadpool wouldn't be long enough after that to bother running on TV
superCrow
Ultimate spider man has am episode with deadpool in it.
We're gonna k-word them.
Stumbleine
Honestly, I can't tell if she's being serious or not.. google says she writes comics? Or are they not the type I am thinking of..?
Metalgearslade
She wants a PG13 edit of the R rated movie, released separately. Whats so hard to understand?
I didn't say anything about not understanding it. I was holding out hope that she wasn't being serious. I believe now that she is.
Uuugh. I just watched her video. I guess I just can't wrap my brain around ANYONE being serious about this.. what the fuck, lady..
acrowsong
My 6y.o. loves Deadpool, and she wants to see it. Told her no. She was sad but accepted it- because she knows no means no. Wild concept.
thunderingthighs
My 8 year old really wants to go but he knows why he won't. I'm not really sure at what age I'll start allowing R rated movies but not today
NuttyNatsu
http://www.kids-in-mind.com this website may be of great use to you both
goofyhobbes
Yeah. Your 6 year old really knows who fucking deadpool is. Sure, that makes complete sense for a 6 year old to know who that comic.
Deadpool is in Lego marvel games and shows which are very child appropriate
Actually in the Lego marvel game he's responsible for cheat codes, has his own side quest and is in the background or intro of most scenes.
Iamnotveryclever
Deadpool is in the Spider-Man cartoon, albeit a toned down Deadpool.
What seriously? JESUS CHRIST. They are milking this thing young now. My mistake sir/madame, carry on.
Yeah, she saw him in Spiderman, then in my Marvel Encyclopedia. And I read some about Deadpool from my comics to show subjective morality.
How recent is this spiderman? IMO, C&D is his best run but by no means appropriate for a young aud. Good on ya for teaching the discrepancy!
deadpool is in other comics and games afaik
He's in most Marvel games in some shape or form. He's also in a team-up comic with Spider-Man that just started.
samsonguy920
Or she can just wait for the DVD to come out two weeks later and let her damaged kid watch it anyway.
Gonz000
I'll answer this with....1000 signatures dude. 1000. For 1 kid.What do you think about that? Think that should catch traction? Woof
Doubt it. Editing a movie to re-release on its own separate from the R-Rated version costs a shitton of money.
willowtree88
This kid is probably gonna watch it at his friend's anyways - with or without her permission.
Two weeks? You mean 8 months, right?
I find it a bit sad that you are the first person to actually respond to that part. As if Deadpool would be that shitty a movie to not be >
> in theaters for much longer.
Corrodias
Being a fan of that medium sounds rough. Choose between high prices and uncomfortable cinemas or long waits and high prices anyway.
My usual hangout is rather comfy. The two biggest theaters have leather upholstery, which is a step down for me, but even those aren't bad.
iamthisguy247
Or show the kid to see a more appropriate movie for him. There are other superhero movies he can watch that'd be fine.
Like Hercules
ICantBelieveIGotOutOfBedForThis
Or Gaston hopefully. I would watch that movie.
brownsugarbk
Most places, kids can see r rated movies qith their parents
ShouTuckersGhost
I think she just wants a cut of the movie without the gore and sex
Not to mention swearing. There's quite a few F-bombs in the trailers alone. Bound to be a lot more in the actual movie.
SwanRonsan
Right? There'd be no movie left!
Well yeah, but I'm not sure that she gets that...
She definitely does not
But it will still be rated the same
jinky74
She can take her kid to see it even if it's R. He just can't go alone.
Good luck policing her home movie practices.
comingbacktowhereivealwaysbeen
I think the point is that she wants it to be PG, not that her son can't get in the movie
She wants to be able to let her son watch the movie without looking like an irresponsible parent who takes her kid to R rated movies.
lmGod
Ratings don't matter. Your parents decide what you're mature enough for. PG-13: Parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be (1/2)
(2/2) inappropriate for children under 13. Meaning if the parent pays for the ticket nobody can stop the kid from watching the movie.
LilSis061016
Yup - same with R: as long as one person in the group is 18, everyone can go in. NC17, however, everyone must be 17 or older.
aFadingMemory
Thank god when I was under 18 they didn't card for cigarettes let alone movies.
zxms
21, not 18. I tried to take my little brother to an R movie when I was 18 and they turned us away.
StainedChoniez
Yeah even though the NSYNC and back street boys album had the paternal advisory label on it my parents got it for me and i turned out fine..
I mean other than your recent murders, you've definitely turned out alright.
Misora
You just told us that you listen to NSYNC and Back Street Boys. How is that fine?!
BrendanProvost
Pg13 ...8 year old
CookingBaconDrunkAndNaked
Star Wars VII is PG13, I didn't see anything that was too advanced for my 6 and 4 year old, did you? It really is/should be up to the parent
SomeDetroitGuy
Most PG-13 movies aren't going to fuck up a young kid.
Balletscience
Except for the kitchen scene in Jurassic Park!!!
SgtMichaelCross
And the huge eye in the window. Thought for sure there'd be a T-Rex outside my bedroom for a while.
AntiChrisSmith
Stupid cunt
isolateredux
I don't even know why you Americans bother to have ratings systems you don't bloody understand...
vnqx
PG13: "Parents are urged to be cautious" R: "Contains some adult material"
blitherypoop
PG-13: "Parents Strongly Cautioned: May be inappropriate for <13" R: "Restricted: Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian"
Surefif
You conveniently left out the sentence after and ignored what it actually says under the rating, instead just quoting the explanation.
whyexactly
Probably the same walnuts getting their 8 year olds M rated games.
Shabooya
I mean pirates of the Caribbean was pg-13
It's not as if all the pg-13 rated super hero movies aren't loved by kids
Right!? Put a little logic in your ridiculousness woman.
Carmichael106
Are you trying to tell me you wouldn't take your eight year old to SW:TFA?
I'm saying that movies are movies and if she doesn't like she shouldn't take her kid not change the movie to be available for pg 13.
That's entirely unrelated. The scenario is, you have an eight year old and there's a blockbuster PG-13 movie.
Custardmug
What do you think PG13 stands for?
WisdomPlaytime
She probably doesn't let her son get vaccinations too.
I think she used to write comic books and reviews films. She seems fine.
Linearnova
YESSSS +1
Scarecro3
Dont want him bein all artistic
HerrBisch
He has to be allowed to see the movie because he's going to die of Polio because I protected him from vaccinations.
ATimeTravellingRobotFromTheFuture
Unless the rules have changed, children under 13 can go to a PG13 so long as they're accompanied by an adult. Parental Guidance n all.
HappyColdCut
PG 13 means anyone under 13 has to go with someone over 13.
KojiKnight
Nope.
CorrelatingGIF
Parental guidance (til you turn) 13
MichaelAndersen88
No, Parental Guidance, probably not appropriate for kids under 13.i
BlastedSand
My Dad took me to see the original Scary Movie. We both laughed our asses off.
Khatvogel
In my country the difference can be maximum 2 years if you're accompanied by an adult
padgie
I don't believe we were required to check ages for PG-13, just that it was "recommended." R we could get in trouble for.
uhhhnick
in that case, he can see a rated R movie too
rivenox2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzbE0wpqeKc
Children can also go to an R rated movie when accompanied by an adult. Does not necessarily make it right.
People still go to cinemas, eh. Well, you don't need any kind of guidance to watch them at home, I'll say that.
Definitely right and the real point we should be arguing is why 1 parent is ruining this movie for everyone publicly instead of taking 1/2
2/2 her child privately. And the answer goes to " I'm a bad parent, but I love my child" category.....
spaghettiThunderbolt
Yup. 99% of the time, it is up to the theater's discretion to let them in or not. Around here, 6+ with an adult is the rule of thumb.
anitabieror6
Well right or wrong a petition over it is completely unnecessary.
mcdok
I saw The Matrix (rated R) in theaters when I was a kid. Wasn't bad at all, I was fine.
ThePastmaster
Why was THE MATRIX rated R?! XD
B/c the 90s were an odd time.

YoMTVRapz
I saw barb wire when I was 14...my friends mom bought us the tickets.....it loved very naked minute of it
Melanisia
I took my daughter to see Iron Man when she was 8. Some PG-13 movies are fine with Parental Guidance.
That's why it's called PG-13 and not PG-R. :P
TheLoyalVike
My dad took me to see fellowship of the ring when I was 6.
My daughter was in the front row opening night of Return of the King... she was 6 weeks old, and slept through the entire movie.
stratus41298
Yeah definitely but i don't think Deadpool will be one of those. Maybe for yours but not most.
Oh hell no. She is not seeing Dead Pool. Mommy will be seeing that one without her.
Ezzybells
When I was 8 my favourite movies were Predator and Aliens. I didn't find them scary, just fun and exciting.
Oh, and Terminator!
My daughter went as Ironman for Halloween that year.
DanielBjerke
Jurassic Park!
Airra
Tremors, Jurassic Park and Austin Powers were all Mom ever seemed to watch.
EndersShadow
Mine were always the chuckie movies. They're so damn funny.
tomtomson
South Park bigger longer and uncut
Justapartofyourimagination
When I was 8 my favorite was From Dusk Till Dawn.... my dad's rules were very open....
Right is entirely subjective. Different people raise their kids differently. Your concept of right has nothing to do with it.
UnhelpfulAnswers
You're missing the point
The child would have to be accompanied to either. Why change the rating.
Wouldn't some of the content have to be changed to change the rating?
Oh I totally agree the film shouldn't be changed. If anything it should be changed to include proper Deadpool killing shitty Fox Deadpool.
Only R rated movies require an adult to accompany children. Parental guidance is suggested for PG-13 movies, but no adult is required.
k1drue
who the fuck send an 8 year by themselves to a movie?
Decoyape11
Boom!
As someone who managed a movie theater for years, this. Had kids freshly 13 disappointed I didn't ID them for PG13 tickets.
In what country is this true? In the US, it's typically at 10 you get an ID... 16 is a driver's permit.
frejathorshammer
Rated R = under 17 admitted with parent or guardian
Gawky
stupid muricans
VoltWrecker
Wait wait wait. Is that in the US? Because here in Canada you can't get in unless you're at least 17
GlenL
Yeah, their R is what we'd have as 18A. What we have as R they cal NC-17
fatguyinnalittlecoat
I don't think she wants her kid to be able to go without her, she wants to get all the good stuff edited out. Either way, fuck her.
bardock
having a parent with him isnt gonna make the R rated content any more appropriate for an 8 year old to be watching
noyougofuckyourself
Depends on the family. Of he's read the comic... I'll be taking my 12 year old. He's more excited than his dad and I
If
No but if the point is whether he can technically see it...
Yeah my eight year old wants to see it but NOPE
ARealLivingAustralian
That honestly confuses me. In Australia you need ID to prove you're over 18 to get into an R-rated film .-.
Just here to give you +1 for the upside down smiley
UponFurtherConsideration
In Australia MA 15+ is the equivalent to an R rated movie in America
clickshytango
That would the equivalent of NC-17 rating in the US. No one 17 and under admitted. Most theaters will refuse to show it.
I believe your R is the equivalent of our NC-17. Most theatres don't show those because they don't make any money requiring ID.
jsteelman517
Here you need either a parent or guardian or an ID to buy the tickets, but entry is fine for any age
ArcticPanda
In Holland its 16 and you need ID too. Pretty big fine for the company and yourself if you get caught sneaking in
somebodycallamedic
Because it's up to the parents to decide what their kid sees, not the government.
I dont make the law. I used to work the tills and if I let someone in who wasnt 16 yet I could get fined 400 euros.. But I agree with you
That's some pretty harsh laws, extremely so for the worker. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. It doesn't sound reasonable at all.
PndaCrk
What's a petition gonna do about a privately funded and made film? Or the privately owned and run theaters that show said film? I am curious
xXCutieMomokoXx
This! Just because you make a petition doesn't mean they have to listen to it. Depends on who it''s for but no one pays attention to that.
IvnWng
Attention.
Abbadoll23
Nothing. Nothing at all.
brickonator
A petition doesn't have any binding power, but if the numbers were large enough, a company could see that there is a potential market
Demonstrate to the company that they have another audience.
MasterDefenestrator
Company knows that. PG-13 is the best-selling rating. You make R films to say something, not to hit a big audience.
But that is her point in doing it.
kapp70
Maybe she can get Michelangelo's David's penis covered so his work of art isn't offensive to some people. That is analogous to what she want
Well, yes, but I thought the question was 'why is she bothering' and that is the answer.
Like in the Simpsons episode Itchy & Scratchy and Marge
SomeGeographer
Ha ha ha. I do PR at Marvel you wouldn't believe the thousands of emails our CS reps received that were complaints about the R rating.

I was a teachers aid for 2nd or 3rd graders. I was a senior at the time and those kids saw more R rated horror movies then I did.
It's amazing what some people will let their kid watch.

PatOfEngland

LizLemmon
That is not necessarily a good thing.
Depends entirely on the child. Some have more capacity for these things than others. Not that it should be encouraged, but it's not THAT bad
Tough love is difficult love.
Or learn to raise your kids correctly, by teaching them the difference between fantasy and reality.
sillybananas
As a teacher, here's a general rule: stick to reality-based stories/movies/etc. before age 6.
Reality based...so like the holocaust?
*reality-based and age-appropriate
CHICKINGNUGGER
It's not about knowing fantasy or reality. We keep these things from children because there are some things they don't need to know yet.
Watched movies like Robocop, Alien, Friday the 13th, Terminator, etc. and played games like DOOM and GTA before I hit 10. No problems here.
That said, listening to this woman's reasoning for the petition, I can totally understand where she's coming from.
Quessan
I'm too lazy to dig it up and read it, could ya summarize it for me?
Just that there should be a PG-13 version along side the R version. Not that the R version should be cut down to PG-13. I don't think it (1)
Glumerlink
or...let kids just be kids and not throw them into adult shit and expect them to handle it as well as we do
circuspandabear
Ding ding ding!
Mycologics
I play games which are sometimes violent. And I can explain that it's fantasy but I still wouldn't want him to see me plowing thru a crowd

flyingdutchfrenchman
Started playing GTA when I was 6 years old with my older sister. Played them throughout my childhood. Never killed anyone I think IRL !
ReallyCrazyIvan
Do both, because they're not mutually exclusive.
To be fair, she is telling her kid no to the R version. That's much more than some would do.
Jrax02
she has no choice, she wont be let into the movie with him anyway. But trying to petition a softer edit is ridiculous
nyaore
This. Though she should just tell him to wait until he's thirteen then see if they can re-evaluate whether or not he can watch it.
NeoAcario
Same reason I won't even let my child TOUCH a firearm until he's 10. If he's mature enough then I'll train him good and proper on a .22
Exarous
My Dad didn't let me shoot his 22 until I was 12, BB guns at 9 and pellet at 11. 9mm is hella strong but he's got me to ask if it's loaded.
YouCanChangeYourUsernameAnytimeSoYouArentRelevant
That kid is gonna torrent the shit out of that movie before this year ends.
If the parent's aren't tech savvy, yes.
ArcipluvianCosmicGallows
Fuck that there's no reason kids shouldn't be allowed to watch Deadpool. Parents, stop overprotecting your kids and let them watch R movies.
theluckysuccess
Plot twist: This is a kid.
Hi kid, I'm dad.
At home, sure, but nobody wants kids at the theater during an R-rated film.
Why?
They tend to be horribly disruptive during movies.
When your kids are disruptive you take them out. Why should my well behaved kids have to suffer because of your shit kids?
fairlyfierce
So are we positive this isn't an elaborate PR stunt for the movie? This seems highly suspect.

Yes! Funny sure, but so obviously PR it's insulting

That's the thing deadpool isn't even a superhero he's a mercenary
JeanZedlav
Yeah, but she doesn't KNOW that. I mean, we do, but she doesn't. She thinks he's like superman and doesn't understand why the kid can't go
argetbrisingr
Did she not see the original trailer where he holds up a guys head through the car window?
JeanZedlav
Maybe just the valentine one.
357nb
she could ask someone and not starting a petition before informing herself
DarthGrizzly
The only thing close enough to a pg13 DeadpooL is the green band trailers for the film, and they aren't really pg13 either
ibrokethedam
Have some backbone and tell your kid to go back to calling people racial slurs on Xbox live
ferrants
Yes.
HypoMix
I did but then I found out they were in a relationship with my mother
existanceneverends
If she is so dedicated to getting a deadpool movie her son can watch, why doesn't she just edit out all the adult stuff herself?
beegobuzz
"If there was a PG-13 version he could, and his mom Kristina could be a superhero rather than a super-villain..." This can't be real.
Veggisaurus
Is that kid dying or something?
NerdWithDreads
Fuck kids. Always trying to ruin shit. Go watch pixar and shit
MadiCorax
Or Lord of the Rings. That's PG-13 and we can then stop to overblow of Pixar.
MaximumSausage
Yeah, fuck kids! With their tiny horns and their hooves, eating all my fucking grass.
Crevek
I am literally rofling on the floor laughing. That deadpool fellow sure is hilarious

You're literally rolling on the floor laughing on the floor laughing? Shit. That's a lot of rolling and laughing. Literally.

PG-13 for and 8 year old? probably doesn't let her kid get vaccines either.
GavinScreaming
you never watched any PG-13 rated movies at that age? I find that hard to believe

BigGip
She can take her son to the movie if she wants. She would be a horrible parent but she can do it.
GylfieTheOwl
To be fair, my parents let me see whatever movies/games with them that I wanted regardless of rating & age and they had 0 influence of me.
BigGip
She can also wait until FX starts to show it in their monthly weekend rotation.
TheWorstPirateYouHaveEverHeardOf
Don't they normally cut things out?
BigGip
That's the point.
somebodythatyouusetoknow
She already is a horrible parent. Instead of saying no and it being firm from her, she's putting blame on the studio so it's not her fault.
BigGip
Agreed. Not everything made is meant for all ages.
JeanZedlav
The point is she wants a version appropriate for the kid
CamelSpotter
Simple. Wait until it's on TV.
JeanZedlav
How will that make murder more kid-friendly?
CamelSpotter
By the FCC censoring the movie to the point where it couldn't even offend a nun.
JeanZedlav
I get the feeling Deadpool wouldn't be long enough after that to bother running on TV
superCrow
Ultimate spider man has am episode with deadpool in it.
JeanZedlav
We're gonna k-word them.
Stumbleine
Honestly, I can't tell if she's being serious or not.. google says she writes comics? Or are they not the type I am thinking of..?
Metalgearslade
She wants a PG13 edit of the R rated movie, released separately. Whats so hard to understand?
Stumbleine
I didn't say anything about not understanding it. I was holding out hope that she wasn't being serious. I believe now that she is.
Stumbleine
Uuugh. I just watched her video. I guess I just can't wrap my brain around ANYONE being serious about this.. what the fuck, lady..
acrowsong
My 6y.o. loves Deadpool, and she wants to see it. Told her no. She was sad but accepted it- because she knows no means no. Wild concept.
thunderingthighs
My 8 year old really wants to go but he knows why he won't. I'm not really sure at what age I'll start allowing R rated movies but not today
NuttyNatsu
http://www.kids-in-mind.com this website may be of great use to you both
goofyhobbes
Yeah. Your 6 year old really knows who fucking deadpool is. Sure, that makes complete sense for a 6 year old to know who that comic.
thunderingthighs
Deadpool is in Lego marvel games and shows which are very child appropriate
thunderingthighs
Actually in the Lego marvel game he's responsible for cheat codes, has his own side quest and is in the background or intro of most scenes.
Iamnotveryclever
Deadpool is in the Spider-Man cartoon, albeit a toned down Deadpool.
goofyhobbes
What seriously? JESUS CHRIST. They are milking this thing young now. My mistake sir/madame, carry on.
acrowsong
Yeah, she saw him in Spiderman, then in my Marvel Encyclopedia. And I read some about Deadpool from my comics to show subjective morality.
goofyhobbes
How recent is this spiderman? IMO, C&D is his best run but by no means appropriate for a young aud. Good on ya for teaching the discrepancy!
GavinScreaming
deadpool is in other comics and games afaik
CamelSpotter
He's in most Marvel games in some shape or form. He's also in a team-up comic with Spider-Man that just started.
samsonguy920
Or she can just wait for the DVD to come out two weeks later and let her damaged kid watch it anyway.
Gonz000
I'll answer this with....1000 signatures dude. 1000. For 1 kid.What do you think about that? Think that should catch traction? Woof
samsonguy920
Doubt it. Editing a movie to re-release on its own separate from the R-Rated version costs a shitton of money.
willowtree88
This kid is probably gonna watch it at his friend's anyways - with or without her permission.
stylinchilibeans
Two weeks? You mean 8 months, right?
samsonguy920
I find it a bit sad that you are the first person to actually respond to that part. As if Deadpool would be that shitty a movie to not be >
samsonguy920
> in theaters for much longer.
Corrodias
Being a fan of that medium sounds rough. Choose between high prices and uncomfortable cinemas or long waits and high prices anyway.
samsonguy920
My usual hangout is rather comfy. The two biggest theaters have leather upholstery, which is a step down for me, but even those aren't bad.
iamthisguy247
Or show the kid to see a more appropriate movie for him. There are other superhero movies he can watch that'd be fine.
samsonguy920
Like Hercules
ICantBelieveIGotOutOfBedForThis
Or Gaston hopefully. I would watch that movie.
brownsugarbk
Most places, kids can see r rated movies qith their parents
ShouTuckersGhost
I think she just wants a cut of the movie without the gore and sex
CamelSpotter
Not to mention swearing. There's quite a few F-bombs in the trailers alone. Bound to be a lot more in the actual movie.
SwanRonsan
Right? There'd be no movie left!
ShouTuckersGhost
Well yeah, but I'm not sure that she gets that...
SwanRonsan
She definitely does not
Toqueman
But it will still be rated the same
jinky74
She can take her kid to see it even if it's R. He just can't go alone.
samsonguy920
Good luck policing her home movie practices.
comingbacktowhereivealwaysbeen
I think the point is that she wants it to be PG, not that her son can't get in the movie
samsonguy920
She wants to be able to let her son watch the movie without looking like an irresponsible parent who takes her kid to R rated movies.
lmGod
Ratings don't matter. Your parents decide what you're mature enough for. PG-13: Parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be (1/2)
lmGod
(2/2) inappropriate for children under 13. Meaning if the parent pays for the ticket nobody can stop the kid from watching the movie.
LilSis061016
Yup - same with R: as long as one person in the group is 18, everyone can go in. NC17, however, everyone must be 17 or older.
aFadingMemory
Thank god when I was under 18 they didn't card for cigarettes let alone movies.
zxms
21, not 18. I tried to take my little brother to an R movie when I was 18 and they turned us away.
StainedChoniez
Yeah even though the NSYNC and back street boys album had the paternal advisory label on it my parents got it for me and i turned out fine..
lmGod
I mean other than your recent murders, you've definitely turned out alright.
Misora
You just told us that you listen to NSYNC and Back Street Boys. How is that fine?!
BrendanProvost
Pg13 ...8 year old
CookingBaconDrunkAndNaked
Star Wars VII is PG13, I didn't see anything that was too advanced for my 6 and 4 year old, did you? It really is/should be up to the parent
SomeDetroitGuy
Most PG-13 movies aren't going to fuck up a young kid.
Balletscience
Except for the kitchen scene in Jurassic Park!!!
SgtMichaelCross
And the huge eye in the window. Thought for sure there'd be a T-Rex outside my bedroom for a while.
AntiChrisSmith
Stupid cunt
isolateredux
I don't even know why you Americans bother to have ratings systems you don't bloody understand...
vnqx
PG13: "Parents are urged to be cautious" R: "Contains some adult material"
blitherypoop
PG-13: "Parents Strongly Cautioned: May be inappropriate for <13" R: "Restricted: Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian"
[deleted]
[deleted]
Surefif
You conveniently left out the sentence after and ignored what it actually says under the rating, instead just quoting the explanation.
whyexactly
Probably the same walnuts getting their 8 year olds M rated games.
Shabooya
I mean pirates of the Caribbean was pg-13
GavinScreaming
It's not as if all the pg-13 rated super hero movies aren't loved by kids
willowtree88
Right!? Put a little logic in your ridiculousness woman.
Carmichael106
Are you trying to tell me you wouldn't take your eight year old to SW:TFA?
willowtree88
I'm saying that movies are movies and if she doesn't like she shouldn't take her kid not change the movie to be available for pg 13.
Carmichael106
That's entirely unrelated. The scenario is, you have an eight year old and there's a blockbuster PG-13 movie.
Custardmug
What do you think PG13 stands for?
WisdomPlaytime
She probably doesn't let her son get vaccinations too.
Custardmug
I think she used to write comic books and reviews films. She seems fine.
Linearnova
YESSSS +1
Scarecro3
Dont want him bein all artistic
HerrBisch
He has to be allowed to see the movie because he's going to die of Polio because I protected him from vaccinations.
ATimeTravellingRobotFromTheFuture
Unless the rules have changed, children under 13 can go to a PG13 so long as they're accompanied by an adult. Parental Guidance n all.
HappyColdCut
PG 13 means anyone under 13 has to go with someone over 13.
KojiKnight
Nope.
CorrelatingGIF
Parental guidance (til you turn) 13
MichaelAndersen88
No, Parental Guidance, probably not appropriate for kids under 13.i
BlastedSand
My Dad took me to see the original Scary Movie. We both laughed our asses off.
Khatvogel
In my country the difference can be maximum 2 years if you're accompanied by an adult
padgie
I don't believe we were required to check ages for PG-13, just that it was "recommended." R we could get in trouble for.
uhhhnick
in that case, he can see a rated R movie too
rivenox2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzbE0wpqeKc
BrendanProvost
Children can also go to an R rated movie when accompanied by an adult. Does not necessarily make it right.
Corrodias
People still go to cinemas, eh. Well, you don't need any kind of guidance to watch them at home, I'll say that.
Gonz000
Definitely right and the real point we should be arguing is why 1 parent is ruining this movie for everyone publicly instead of taking 1/2
Gonz000
2/2 her child privately. And the answer goes to " I'm a bad parent, but I love my child" category.....
spaghettiThunderbolt
Yup. 99% of the time, it is up to the theater's discretion to let them in or not. Around here, 6+ with an adult is the rule of thumb.
anitabieror6
Well right or wrong a petition over it is completely unnecessary.
mcdok
I saw The Matrix (rated R) in theaters when I was a kid. Wasn't bad at all, I was fine.
ThePastmaster
Why was THE MATRIX rated R?! XD

B/c the 90s were an odd time.
Refmylife

YoMTVRapz
I saw barb wire when I was 14...my friends mom bought us the tickets.....it loved very naked minute of it
Melanisia
I took my daughter to see Iron Man when she was 8. Some PG-13 movies are fine with Parental Guidance.
ThePastmaster
That's why it's called PG-13 and not PG-R. :P
TheLoyalVike
My dad took me to see fellowship of the ring when I was 6.
Melanisia
My daughter was in the front row opening night of Return of the King... she was 6 weeks old, and slept through the entire movie.
stratus41298
Yeah definitely but i don't think Deadpool will be one of those. Maybe for yours but not most.
Melanisia
Oh hell no. She is not seeing Dead Pool. Mommy will be seeing that one without her.
Ezzybells
When I was 8 my favourite movies were Predator and Aliens. I didn't find them scary, just fun and exciting.
Ezzybells
Oh, and Terminator!
Melanisia
My daughter went as Ironman for Halloween that year.
DanielBjerke
Jurassic Park!
Airra
Tremors, Jurassic Park and Austin Powers were all Mom ever seemed to watch.
EndersShadow
Mine were always the chuckie movies. They're so damn funny.
tomtomson
South Park bigger longer and uncut
Justapartofyourimagination
When I was 8 my favorite was From Dusk Till Dawn.... my dad's rules were very open....
ATimeTravellingRobotFromTheFuture
Right is entirely subjective. Different people raise their kids differently. Your concept of right has nothing to do with it.
UnhelpfulAnswers
You're missing the point
BrendanProvost
The child would have to be accompanied to either. Why change the rating.
Ezzybells
Wouldn't some of the content have to be changed to change the rating?
ATimeTravellingRobotFromTheFuture
Oh I totally agree the film shouldn't be changed. If anything it should be changed to include proper Deadpool killing shitty Fox Deadpool.
vnqx
Only R rated movies require an adult to accompany children. Parental guidance is suggested for PG-13 movies, but no adult is required.
k1drue
who the fuck send an 8 year by themselves to a movie?
Decoyape11
Boom!
KojiKnight
As someone who managed a movie theater for years, this. Had kids freshly 13 disappointed I didn't ID them for PG13 tickets.
[deleted]
[deleted]
KojiKnight
In what country is this true? In the US, it's typically at 10 you get an ID... 16 is a driver's permit.
frejathorshammer
Rated R = under 17 admitted with parent or guardian
Gawky
stupid muricans
VoltWrecker
Wait wait wait. Is that in the US? Because here in Canada you can't get in unless you're at least 17
GlenL
Yeah, their R is what we'd have as 18A. What we have as R they cal NC-17
fatguyinnalittlecoat
I don't think she wants her kid to be able to go without her, she wants to get all the good stuff edited out. Either way, fuck her.
bardock
having a parent with him isnt gonna make the R rated content any more appropriate for an 8 year old to be watching
noyougofuckyourself
Depends on the family. Of he's read the comic... I'll be taking my 12 year old. He's more excited than his dad and I
noyougofuckyourself
If
frejathorshammer
No but if the point is whether he can technically see it...
thunderingthighs
Yeah my eight year old wants to see it but NOPE
ARealLivingAustralian
That honestly confuses me. In Australia you need ID to prove you're over 18 to get into an R-rated film .-.
comingbacktowhereivealwaysbeen
Just here to give you +1 for the upside down smiley
UponFurtherConsideration
In Australia MA 15+ is the equivalent to an R rated movie in America
clickshytango
That would the equivalent of NC-17 rating in the US. No one 17 and under admitted. Most theaters will refuse to show it.
frejathorshammer
I believe your R is the equivalent of our NC-17. Most theatres don't show those because they don't make any money requiring ID.
jsteelman517
Here you need either a parent or guardian or an ID to buy the tickets, but entry is fine for any age
ArcticPanda
In Holland its 16 and you need ID too. Pretty big fine for the company and yourself if you get caught sneaking in
somebodycallamedic
Because it's up to the parents to decide what their kid sees, not the government.
ArcticPanda
I dont make the law. I used to work the tills and if I let someone in who wasnt 16 yet I could get fined 400 euros.. But I agree with you
somebodycallamedic
That's some pretty harsh laws, extremely so for the worker. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. It doesn't sound reasonable at all.
PndaCrk
What's a petition gonna do about a privately funded and made film? Or the privately owned and run theaters that show said film? I am curious
xXCutieMomokoXx
This! Just because you make a petition doesn't mean they have to listen to it. Depends on who it''s for but no one pays attention to that.
IvnWng
Attention.
Abbadoll23
Nothing. Nothing at all.
brickonator
A petition doesn't have any binding power, but if the numbers were large enough, a company could see that there is a potential market
JeanZedlav
Demonstrate to the company that they have another audience.
MasterDefenestrator
Company knows that. PG-13 is the best-selling rating. You make R films to say something, not to hit a big audience.
JeanZedlav
But that is her point in doing it.
kapp70
Maybe she can get Michelangelo's David's penis covered so his work of art isn't offensive to some people. That is analogous to what she want
JeanZedlav
Well, yes, but I thought the question was 'why is she bothering' and that is the answer.
BhataktiAtma
Like in the Simpsons episode Itchy & Scratchy and Marge
SomeGeographer
Ha ha ha. I do PR at Marvel you wouldn't believe the thousands of emails our CS reps received that were complaints about the R rating.

I simply just wouldn't have watched.
lizwah
I would still watch it, but begrudgingly
P0oPfAce
Parents, learn to say NO to your kids.
Illinifan88
As a teacher, please. And they don't need an alternative every time. Sometimes they just to know no means no.

Watched Family Guy as a nine year old. I've only violently assaulted a couple of people this week.
Idkimadeanaccountjustforthis
I was a teachers aid for 2nd or 3rd graders. I was a senior at the time and those kids saw more R rated horror movies then I did.

Depends entirely on the child. Some have more capacity for these things than others. Not that it should be encouraged, but it's not THAT bad
LizLemmon
Tough love is difficult love.
vnqx
Or learn to raise your kids correctly, by teaching them the difference between fantasy and reality.
sillybananas
As a teacher, here's a general rule: stick to reality-based stories/movies/etc. before age 6.
vnqx
Reality based...so like the holocaust?
sillybananas
*reality-based and age-appropriate
CHICKINGNUGGER
It's not about knowing fantasy or reality. We keep these things from children because there are some things they don't need to know yet.
throwthisaway83
Watched movies like Robocop, Alien, Friday the 13th, Terminator, etc. and played games like DOOM and GTA before I hit 10. No problems here.

That said, listening to this woman's reasoning for the petition, I can totally understand where she's coming from.
Quessan
I'm too lazy to dig it up and read it, could ya summarize it for me?
throwthisaway83
Just that there should be a PG-13 version along side the R version. Not that the R version should be cut down to PG-13. I don't think it (1)

Do both, because they're not mutually exclusive.
brickonator
To be fair, she is telling her kid no to the R version. That's much more than some would do.
Jrax02
she has no choice, she wont be let into the movie with him anyway. But trying to petition a softer edit is ridiculous
nyaore
This. Though she should just tell him to wait until he's thirteen then see if they can re-evaluate whether or not he can watch it.
NeoAcario
Same reason I won't even let my child TOUCH a firearm until he's 10. If he's mature enough then I'll train him good and proper on a .22
Exarous
My Dad didn't let me shoot his 22 until I was 12, BB guns at 9 and pellet at 11. 9mm is hella strong but he's got me to ask if it's loaded.

CamelSpotter
At home, sure, but nobody wants kids at the theater during an R-rated film.

CamelSpotter
They tend to be horribly disruptive during movies.
ArcipluvianCosmicGallows
When your kids are disruptive you take them out. Why should my well behaved kids have to suffer because of your shit kids?
