My parents rented Starman, or what they thought was Starman. I watched it by myself and it was actually some old blaxploitation movie. It opened with a pimp feeding a prostitute drain cleaner and then chasing a guy into a bathroom. He shot the gentleman over the toilet and said, 'die mother fucker die'. Change scene to Mr. Bigshot on a yacht surrounded by topless women. It was glorious.

And I turned out ok.

I figure that half the time people screaming about "TEH CHILDREN" are really just looking for an easy way to complain about something that they just don't like.

Excellent point, Jox. American films/TV shows do need more gratuitous panty shots.

Why is it hundreds of years ago. Violence was a part of daily life, so was cruelty, and people getting married at 13+ years old was okay? And now its not only a taboo behavior, but it gets you arrested?

Don’t give me nonsense about our society “growing up”: and crap like that. Somewhere along the line our morality evolved into something different for no actual good reason that I can see.

“Kids”, grew up mentally, socially, and emotionally faster until we started retarding that behavior.

In another 200+ years or more, we may come to wonder why in the past things like Homosexuality and bestiality were odd behaviors (Not like Greeks and the Mongolian Anda had a problem with being Homosexual).

Why are we shocked or ashamed whatsoever by the behaviors we say in media today exactly? We used to be exposed to similar or worse, at much earlier ages in the past, and we survived, we must have, the future generations that turned into us survived it, we’re here aren‘t we?

And I know it says somewhere in the Bible about not taking God’s name in vain (Duh), but where the fuck does it say “Thought shalt not curse like a sailor”?

That’s another thing that is based PURELY on social convention. Who decided these words were improper for conversation exactly anyway? And if they hadn’t, would you even think of them as anything other than normal words? Would you bitch when you heard them? Are you only complaining about them because your parents complained about them?

Not that I think the Transformers thread is a place for this discussion, but I think a quick mention on the 13 year old maturity thing.

I think you're making a huge error in assuming the children "grew up mentally, socially, and emotionally faster".

First, realize that "hundreds of years ago" there was no impetus to move away from the family, so even if a young man were to marry young, he still will be living with or very near his family, and there was a strong support center willing to assist him.

Second, for the females who were married off at 13, the only thing that mattered was that she could spread her legs and later pop out a kid. Nobody gave a fuck about her emotions or social maturity.

The fact that you would likely be dead by 30 - 35 meant marrying earlier made sense, too.

Both points are true, we live longer there for we can accept as a civilization that you can mature slower, and that it is acceptable for other people to decide what is right for you and your kids.

I didn't think it possible that they could make keeping up with shit happening on screen MORE DIFFICULT than the first transformers movie.

God damn. It looked more like watching buildings fuck each other in a blind drunken orgy than giant robots fighting one another. Add in Cloverfield jerk off shakecam and this movie would have everything.

aside from actual physical abuse or other obvious neglect, you can raise your kids however you want, Devil. It's a bullshit statement.

Whatever, you ppl refuse to see that this thread is all about what your kids should watch, and saying that this movie should not been seen by kids because of the language and the violence.

There is constante censoreship going on and ppl saying that can't be on TV kids could see that. Oh that vidio game should not be made kids could get ahold of it. all of that is ppl telling me how to raise my kids.

If you want to take your kids to see that, you are welcome to. If you don't want to take your kids to see that, that's fine too. No one is *forcing* you to do anything in terms of raising your kids, sir. That doesn't mean it's bad for someone to have an opinion on what you should or shouldn't do, either.

The best part of the whole movie was the flying goat. If you blinked you missed it. There should be flying goats in all movies.

And whats wrong with Megan Fox? I mean, of course she looks awesome but why is she always so shiny? Like she just got a new coat of paint. They must have recorded the whole desert part on bluescreen or sand would have stuck on her face.

It did. At least in one close-up she had sand all over her chin (and probably elsewhere, I had a difficult enough time looking as high as her chin).

This is pretty great. Soem Michael Bay crew members responded to Megan Fox trashing the director. Great quotes:

Quote:
megan-fox-michael-bay-7-29-08This is an open letter to all Michael Bay fans. We are three crew members that have worked with Michael for the past ten years. Last week we read the terrible article with inflammatory, truly trashing quotes by the Ms. Fox about Michael Bay. This letter is to set a few things straight.

Yes, Megan has great eyes, a tight stomach we spray with glycerin, and an awful silly Marilyn Monroe tattoo plastered on her arm that we cover up to keep the moms happy.

Michael found this shy, inexperienced girl, plucked her out of total obscurity thus giving her the biggest shot of any young actresses' life. He told everyone around to just trust him on his choice. He granted her the starring role in Transformers, a franchise that forever changed her life; she became one of the most googled and oogled women on earth. She was famous! She was the next Angelina Jolie, hooray! Wait a minute, two of us worked with Angelina – second thought – she’s no Angelina. You see, Angelia is a professional.

We know this quite intimately because we’ve had the tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox on both Transformers movies. We've spent a total of 12 months on set making these two movies.

We are in different departments; we can’t give our names because sadly doing so in Hollywood could lead to being banished from future Paramount work. One of us touches Megan’s panties, the other has the often shitty job of pulling Ms. Sourpants out of her trailer, while another is near the Panaflex camera that helps to memorialize the valley girl on film.

Megan has the press fooled. When we read those magazines we wish we worked with that woman. Megan knows how to work her smile for the press. Those writers should try being on set for two movies, sadly she never smiles. The cast, crew and director make Transformers a really fun and energetic set. We’ve traveled around the world together, so we have never understood why Megan was always such the grump of the set?

When facing the press, Megan is the queen of talking trailer trash and posing like a porn star. And yes we’ve had the unbearable time of watching her try to act on set, and yes, it's very cringe-able. So maybe, being a porn star in the future might be a good career option. But make-up beware, she has a paragraph tattooed to her backside (probably due her rotten childhood) -- easily another 45 minutes in the chair!

So when the three of us caught wind of Ms Fox, pontificating yet again in some publication (like she actually has something interesting to say) blabbing her trash mouth about a director whom we three have grown to really like. She compared working with Michael, to “working with Hitler”. We actually don’t think she knows who Hitler is by the way. But we wondered how she doesn’t realize what a disgusting, fully uneducated comment this was? Well, here let’s get some facts straight.

Say what you want about Michael – yes at times he can be hard, but he's also fun, and he challenges everyone for a reason – he simply wants people to bring their ‘A’ game. He comes very prepared, knows exactly what he wants, involves the crew and expects everyone to follow through with his or her best, and that includes the actors. He’s one of the hardest working directors out there.

He gets the best from his crews, many of whom have worked with him for 15 years. And yes, he’s loyal, one of the few directors we’ve encountered who lowered his fee by millions to keep Transformers in the United States and California, so he could work with his own crew.

Megan says that Transformers was an unsafe set? Come on Megan, we know it is a bit more strenuous then the playground at the trailer park, but you don’t insult one of the very best stunt and physical effects teams in the business! Not one person got hurt!

And who is the real Megan Fox? She is very different than the academy nominee and winning actors we’ve all worked around. She’s as about ungracious a person as you can ever fathom. She shows little interest in the crew members around her. We work to make her look good in every way, but she's absolutely never appreciative of anyone’s hard work. Never a thank you. All the crewmembers have stopped saying hi to Ms. Princess because she never says hello back. It gets tiring. Many think she just really hates the process of being an actress.

Megan has been late to the sets many times. She goes through the motions that make her exude this sense of misery. We’ve heard the A.D’s piped over the radio that Megan won’t walk from her trailer until John Turturro walks first! John’s done seventy-five movies and she’s made two!

Never expect Megan to attend any of the 15 or so crew parties like all the other actors have. And then there's the classless night she blew off The Royal Prince of Jordan who made a special dinner for all the actors. She doesn’t know that one of the grips' daughters wanted to visit their daddy’s work to meet Megan, but he wouldn’t let them come because he told them “she is not nice."

The press certainly doesn’t know her most famous line. On our first day in Egypt, the Egyptian government wouldn’t let us shoot because of a permit problem as the actors got ready in make up at the Four Seasons Hotel. Michael tried to make the best of it; he wanted to take the cast and crew on a private tour of the famous Giza pyramids. God hold us witness, Megan said, "I can’t believe Michael is fucking forcing us to go to the fucking pyramids!" I guess this is the “Hitler guy” she is referring to.

So this is the Megan Fox you don’t get to see. Maybe she will learn, but we figure if she can sling insults, then she can take them too. Megan really is a thankless, classless, graceless, and shall we say unfriendly bitch. It's sad how fame can twist people, and even sadder that young girls look up to her. If only they knew who they're really looking up to.

But ‘fame’ is fleeting. We, being behind the scenes, seen em’ come and go. Hopefully Michael will have Megatron squish her character in the first ten minutes of Transformers 3. We can tell you that will make the crew happy!
