WTF is Going On? 4th Edition

I was in the car today and I heard a commercial for the new movie Sorority Row. It sounds like the typical teen horror/slasher flick, nothing special. But that wasn't my problem with the commercial.

My issue with the ad came at the end when the announcer claimed that the film was rated R for "Some sexuality, nudity, and party".

Party? What? You can't rate something obscene for "Party". What the hell does that even mean? Is it supposed to be a euphamism for drugs or drinking?

Party is a pretty general term. I mean is this party like a four-year old's birthday at Chuck E. Cheese's or is it a party where people are wearing masks, throwing their keys in a jar, and snorting crack off someone's junk?

So long as we're using generalities in our rating system, why not rate a movie R for Eating. It could mean someone is enjoying a BLT in the film, or it could mean two girls are eating each other's poop.

Eventually no one under 17 will be allowed to see any movie ever. Disney/Pixar's new family film? Rated R. A Dora the Explorer movie? R. A flick featuring The Wiggles? We'll give that one an NC-17.

High School Can Be Murder

The Chicago Tribune reports that producers of a remake of Nightmare on Elm Street are negotiating with Chicago school district 214 to do some filming at Elk Grove and John Hersey High School (my high school)!

I can't think of a more perfect place for a horror movie to be filmed. High school is very much like a torture chamber, and my school certainly serves as a great example of suburban hell.

It would be SO cool if Freddy killed someone in one of my former classrooms! If it is shot at Hersey, chances are good he'll be putting some unfortunate soul out of his misery.
