Hi , I am 14 and not "allowed" to see R movies, I am very mature and love horror flicks but can't see any of the cool new ones. I think I has to do with my 10 yr old brother. SOMEONE HELP ME TALK TO MY PARNETS
You say you think it has to do with your 10 year old brother. Why don't you ask them and find out for sure? Discuss your problem with them, telling them that you are mature enough not to take these movies seriously. Maybe you and your parents can work out a deal.
i think horror films desensitizes us. i watch them sometimes, and i am just appalled at how people can sit in a theatre and watch people die terrible, horrible, unthinkable deaths, and be entertained by it. not only that, but they LOVE it!! they make jokes and laugh at the sight of someones guts hanging out of their body!!
Shampoo, who says what is terrible? Who says "*human* should ever have to find entertainment in watching other humans die agonizing bloody deaths" Who says "no one does"? You must be God. Thats why you tell us what to do. Horror films don't desensitize us, some are very valid social critisizms. You fear death. That is why you are confused. You probably don't even know a real meaning of desensitized. "keep your innocence"? You probably don't have a real concept of innocence either. I don't know why I wasting my time.
hey! i said that NICELY!! what do you want me to do, agree with everything everyone else says? I have a different oppinion, and I am allowed to voice it. notice key word *probably*. "you probably don't even know the real meaning of desensititzed"
when my mom or dad won't let me see a movie i go to a multiplex and theatre-hop. it's illegal but it's not like they care. i saw three movies for the price of 1 once! now that's a good deal! i also do this when i want to re'see a movie and my mom won't pay for it the second time. "OK mom, i'm going to see, um, a bugs life!" "ok honey, here's some money" and i go and see pleasantville again.
is pleasantville any good?

horror fan: you'll probably do it anywayz, but i wish you would keep your innocence for a little longer. you're 14 years old, you don't need to be watching this terrible stuff. no one does. maturity has nothing to do with it, no *human* should ever have to find entertainment in watching other humans die agonizing bloody deaths, even if it isn't real.

you probably don't have a real concept of innocence". says who!? says YOU, who read a 3 sentence post by me?
I didn't tell you what to do, i said an oppinion. horror fan is 14 years old, and the legal age for rated R movies is 18. there is a reason for that. I'm not going to say "hey, go ahead and watch people dying in their own pools of blood!! at 14, you're mature enough to make your own decisions". i think if horror fan is so mature, she should be able to find entertainment in something other than blood guts and gore. i'm older then her, and i don't watch that kind of stuff. there is much more quality stuff out there.
and before somebody starts yelling at me (like they always do) for having a different oppinion and not *conforming* to standard nrrd grrl bulliten board thought (like every one else exluding a few select people), i'll probably have to add a little something here: i'm not judging horror fan, i'm not insulting her intelligence, her maturity, the stuff she likes, blah blah blah, i'm commenting on horror films in general. horror fan go do what you like, but i think you raised a very important topic that i would like to comment on, which is:
doesn't anyone else find something wrong in people seeking entertainment in watching others brutally murdered, massacred and chopped to itty bitty peices? is there no one out there who agrees with me that *nobody*, regardless of age and maturity should be watching this kind of stuff? any nrrdgrrl out there who agrees with me, *please please please* say so, because obviously, like every oppinion i have that isn't like everyone elses oppinion, this one seems to be alone, *again*, and i'll bet you anything the very next post is going to be insulting me again, like they always do.
and anonymous, if you want me to take you seriously, you shouldn't be so scared as to hide your name. just a thought. don't bother "wasting your time". obviously, if i don't have the same oppinion as you, i'm not worth talking to. right?
okay everyone, bring on the flaming!! i'm expecting it this time, so flame away! and for the record, i did try to be nice. i really really really tried, because i realize that i wasn't exactly sensitive to people and that's why everyone was mad at me. but it seems like they'll be mad at me *anways*, even when i'm nice. tell me what it is that i don't know and don't have a concept of. and if you want to hide behind *anonymous*, then go right ahead.
