[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The film makers are  in cahoots with the ratings people, I think. There is very little difference between an R and PG13 now, too. They want to desensitize everyone to sex and violence so they can get the largest viewership possible. It's very subtle usually, but seems to have taken off quickly in the last couple of years.[/quote]

You need to watch PG-13 movies from the late 70's or early 80's.  There were lots of boob shots in those movies and the dialog, oh, it was about on par with what is allowed in R rated movies now.
E.T. was rated PG and Elliot called his brother "Penis Breath".[/quote]
There are no "PG-13" movies from the late 70s or early 80s. PG-13 was created in 1984. Many thought Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Gremlins were too violent for the PG rating it had so this led to the creation of PG-13. I really don't think Indiana Jones was that "violent". Action packed, yes. Fighting, yes. Blood and gore? No. But you see more "blood" in PG today than PG then. And frankly, boobs and some sexual material were not as "concerning" 30 years ago. Its only since the late 80s that we've gotten overly sensitized about boobs.[/quote] 
OK there are from the early to mid 80's then.  Sorry the time span was wrong, I was going from memory, not Google.  According to a google search it was Red Dawn that was the first pg-13 movie.  A movie I didn't think was too disturbing until I watched it right before bed on Sept. 10, 2001.  [/quote]
