Return of the Son of three more questions that weren't worth 5 points to post by themselves (movies)?
.1. When you watched the Epic Battle in "Stars Wars Episode 2," did you find yourself singing, "Send in the Clones."

2a. Did watching the 1999 remake of "Godzilla," Did you find yourself wishing that they’d waited like 3 more years when the CGI Godzilla would look almost as realistic as the guy in the Rubber Suit?

2b. Were you annoyed that the end track was some lame rap song instead of the Blue Oyster Cult classic?

2c. Is it true that they used a CGI Godzilla, because the real one wanted to direct?
2d. (extra credit.) Who gained more weight between "Godzilla, King of the Monsters" and "Godzilla ‘85?" Godzilla or Raymond Burr?

3. Standards and Practices.

a. Would you be annoyed if you shelled out 9 bux for an R-rated movie and found out that the rating was because one of the characters smoked?
b. Should Standards and Practices address the growing problems of Obesity and Diabetes by giving an "R" rating to films where characters solicit a kiss by asking, "Got some sugar for me?" instead of the more politically correct, "Got some artificial sweetener for me?"
Sorry, Fire Opal. Y!A makes me wait at least 4 hours and it’s only been 20 minutes. Besides, you didn’t even bring me an armadillo, much less give me a star.

2a. Actually, I found myself wishing I had just sat in the lobby, eating Milk Duds. You can get about four boxes of Milk Duds for the price of admission.

2b. Absolutely not. Blue Oyster Cult is one of the demi-gods in my rock pantheon. You don’t ask demi-gods to muck out the stables, and you don’t ask them to hand the rights over on one of their songs when the movie is the product of mucking out said stables.

2c. No, that is not correct. He did not want to direct, he wanted to be like Tom Cruise and do his own stunts. Unfortunately, liability insurance for a critter that big is, well, proportionately large. And he has those long claws, which break very easily. A broken claw could set the filming back months, so no insurance company was willing to float them a policy. Hence, the CGI, which is, in essence, a stunt double, but one who delivers all the regular lines and does all the regular acting, as well. There was also the question of the fact that he performs nude throughout the film. CGI monster weenies are okay, but live monster weenies would have garnered at least an NC-17 rating, if not an X. Since the target audience was prepubescent boys, that didn’t seem like a good idea to the producers.

2d. Raymond Burr, naturally. Playing Ironsides and spending all of that time in a wheel chair makes you pack on the pounds. It’s okay though, because he still had the better speaking voice, and those piercing dark eyes.

3a. I would be furious. That’s cutting into my business. I frequently go where the conservative non-smoking businessmen hang out, and set up a booth, and give them peep shows of me smoking. I used to have a very strict no touching policy, but now I let them examine my lighter. They really like to click my Zippo.

Realistically, kids are going to experiment with smoking. I say they show it on Sesame Street, so they can be over and done with it by the time they start school. Worst case scenario, they have to provide an outside smoking area for those in kindergarten who would prefer to smoke after their snack, rather than taking a nap.

If I migh add just one detail, Hollywood always gets the smoking business wrong. They tend to show it as a post-coital activity. Everyone know that the real post-coital goings on are that the man rolls over and immediately starts to snore, while the woman goes and eats a whole pint of Cherry Garcia while waiting for her side of the bed to dry. Hollywood needs to invest more in technical advisors.

3b. Hollywood needs to get serious and start addressing the real issue, which is people getting pleasure. Humans are not supposed to get pleasure from anything. NO ONE should be asking for a kiss. No one should be eating. No one should be doing a job they enjoy. No one should be driving a fast car on the Pacific Highway. The only movie that should really be made, and there’s only one, is screen adaptations of Sartre’s "No Exit." If they want to get fancy, they can make it as a musical. Three actors, one room. And the one who smokes doesn’t get to smoke. That way, we’d all learn the only real lesson we need to know: Hell is other people.

You need to send a petition to Hollywood, telling them how things should be. Please send it to me, first, though. They pay a lot more attention to petitions if there are two signatures.

3.a LOL yes very! Actually, most of the reasons for R-ratings annoy me.
