This is what a Teabagger sent me about AVATAR and why his kids are NOT allowed to see the movie

[HipChick]

Sex & Nudity
A female native(alien) wears indigenous attire. Her bare breasts are pretty much visible throughout the entire film, though there is no discernible areolae.

Male natives wear loincloths that cover front.

Several alien behinds are seen, though most of it is covered by the tail.

A male and female begin to kiss. The female jumps on the man and moans slightly. (Sex is implied.)

An alien character fondles his ponytail (which we later learn is a sensory organ) and is told "If you keep doing that, you'll go blind."

Violence & Gore
Numerous scenes of alien creatures being killed, some by other creatures, some by humans. A wolf-like creature has to be put out of pain.

A man gets semi-eaten then thrown by a dragon-like creature.

A man is shot with two large arrows and is seen suffering to expiration.

Intense battle sequences where both vehicles and their operators are destroyed.

Profanity
Moderate profanity including: dick, shit

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking
Moderate Smoking

Moderate drinking and references to drinking in a positive light

Frightening/Intense Scenes
Numerous scenes of pursuit, some by alien creatures, some by humans.

An attack sequence where something important is destroyed is distressful to the characters, so much so that they wail in mourning.

1. Sounds awful scary.

[HipChick]

2. I know it's his choice..

I grew up in liberal socialist Europe..apparently this also makes me a sexual deviant in his eyes..:evilgrin:

[saltpoint]

4. Well by god you stick to your guns. And go see as many films as you

please.

For what it's worth, I'd love to see Hollywood make films the way other nations' film-makers make films -- far lower in budget and far greater in quality.

'Haven't seen AVATAR but may pile a bunch of nieces and nephews and grand-nieces in the car over the holidays and give it a try.

:thumbsup:

21. what a prude

[Hannah Bell]

11. "and is told "If you keep doing that, you'll go blind." == no, sounds awfully stupid.

[saltpoint]

13. A good writer does not eschew all available implements.

Jack Nicholson's characters are coarsely-spoken, and to very good effect.

[Hannah Bell]

14. stupid = cat-creatures from another planet talking about masturbation by using

stale cliched american joke line.

[saltpoint]

17. Well hell, Hannah. Lighten up a bit. Some of my best friends are

cat-creatures from another planet.

If you want some good film recs, PM me. I've got a good handful to keep you busy through April.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

26. Was it an alien that said that line or a human? -nt

[Myrina]

3. ... sounds like an eppy of Housewives combined w/ 24 ...

:shrug: So what's the 'Bagger's problem with it?

[pokercat999]

5. Depends on the age of his kids. I take it this movie is PG13? nt

[madokie]

6. I wouldn't go because of the ties to rupert murdock

and his treasonous assssssssssssssssss

[POAS]

7. That email includes the words

shit and dick therefore it is inappropriate.

[HipChick]

10. Ironic..his name is Richard, and I often call him Dick..

I dont recall hearing shit or dick or where it is in the movie either

[mmonk]

8. Why would a teabagger be against their children seeing violence?

They advocate war and violence and seem to even have a lust for it.

[davidwparker]

9. I saw it Tuesday. It was good. I need to watch the 3D version to see if I

can see all these things. Action happens so fast in the more intense scenes that I could not remember these things.

What the teabagger didn't have on the list was the allusion to our wars of aggression, where the strong takes from the weak, their ways superior to the "primitives."

I find that more offense than men and women in blue body suits, scantily clothed.

Oh, when the one is shot by the arrows, you're practically cheering -- at least I was.

[HipChick]

12. I think I'm going to see it again on Xmas day..Imax this time

[PVnRT]

15. That's it? I thought the whole anti-war-for-resources thing would do it

At least, according to a facebook post I saw: "God, why do we always have to be the bad guys, sure bad things happened, but nobody's perfect!"

[Locrian]

16. good lord

If he's worried about THAT he certainly better not let them read the BIBLE.

[baldguy]

18. Imagine what he thought of Dr Manhattan's Giant Blue Uncircumcised Penis starring in Watchmen

At least James Cameron allowed the male Na'Vi and Jake's avatar to always have strategic obscurations of their naughty bits.

[cbdo2007]

19. Right, I thought they'd be much more concerned about the movie basically shitting on everything Bush

did when he was in Office and America has done for hundreds of years. There are really some blatant digs at Bush and the made up "War on Terror".

I loved the move though and agree that there are definitely some aliens with great asses in it.

[bamacrat]

20. Bet they let or even made their kids watch Passion of the Christ. n/t

[StarfarerBill]

22. And how many times did they all see "The Passion of the Christ"?

...

[Motown_Johnny]

23. how old are the kids? Honestly, it does sound inappropriate for very young children

I am certian there will be some saturday morning cartoon version of Avatar fairly soon. The kids can watch that.

[givemebackmycountry]

24. "though there is no discernible aureole"

Bare breasts are pretty much visible throughout the entire film, though there is no discernible aureole.

WELL THANK GOD FOR THAT!

What a loon.

25. It's a cut'n'paste from the IMDB

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0499549/parentalguide

At first I thought it was from one of those fundie/Christian movie review sites (some of them are good for a laugh with their
observations/criticisms).

[Stevenmarc]

27. Tell the teabagger that it might bankrupt Fox and see him rush to put coats on the kids

[Javaman]

28. Perhaps he should rent a nice wholesome movie from the 1950's, like...

"The Girl Can't Help it".

more feigned indigence from the right wing nuts who fear everything.

Hell, I saw, The Wild Bunch" when I was a little kid, yet I'm a pacifist today.

Critical thinking is an amazing thing.
