Is anyone else as psyched for Underwold as I am?

I am very psyched about this movie. I think it looks awesome.
Chandler Bing? Matthew Perry's character on Friends? You know... could this thread be more off track?

says that the it might be undergoing a title change to "The Covenant" and will probably be PG-13.

However, I for one now could care less about this movie & am utterly pissed off. Why the hell is this movie Pg-13. It's a movie about werewolves & vampires killing each other. Clearly that is not aimed at kids. Clearly that is not the kind of movie most parent would take their kids to see. clearly that is not the premise for a good family movie. I am so sick of this nancy political correct age we live in where studios are so desperate to make a few extra bucks & not offend anyone with violent content or subject matter.

Well, I was the one who started this thread, & clearly I was more excited than most about this movie.

The Matrix is an exception, but most rated-R movies don't do very well at the box office.
If you are talking about millions of dollars of a difference between a PG-13 and an R, it becomes pretty clear what is going to happen.
That being said, most R-ratings come from language and sex. PG-13 movies can still be extremely violent and bad-ass so I'm holding out hope.
Oh, and it's "couldn't care less." Sorry, personal pet peeve.

And by the way, save the grammar corrections for your kid's homework, high & mighty. This is just a message board, I type how I talk, & I type fast, I don't proof read my message board posts. Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine. (See how annoying that is)

A good movie will make mega-millions of dollars no matter what the rating, look at Terminator, Rambo, Aliens, Predator, Gladiator I could go on & on. I said I don't understand why THIS movie is PG-13. Like I said, it's about guns & werewolves & vampires that kill people. It's not a kid theme, it's not a family movie, that is not it's target audience so make it R. If it's just to get a few extra million from older teenagers, well then so be it. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.

And no, it's not annoying to me. I'd prefer to speak (and write) correctly so if someone points out an error, I'm glad to hear it

Family movies are rated G.
Being a family movie and recieving an PG-13 rating instead of an R have almost nothing to do with each other. Do you know the filmmaker, cause if it was his/her intention to make an R film, than yeah, we got a little gyped. If you just think based on your own ideas that it should be R rated, than you are just gyping yourself.
