Did you know that the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) can dish out a PG-13 rating for a movie that features an "intense depiction of very bad weather"?
Well it can. All Movie has an entertaining little article today on some interesting wording choices by the ratings board when rating films. Thus, rather than a simple but bland "containing violence", the MPAA allows for a bit of flair to warn viewers that the classic 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up doesn't just feature any old violence, rather "non-stop ninja action".
And after reading that, I want to now see the Ivory and Merchant biopic on Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson in Paris. I mean, it's far too rare an event these days to see a good, old-fashioned bawdy puppet show! Bawdy enough to rate a PG-13.
