FYI...
If you are the parent of a preteen or young child and you took said kids to go see Watchmen this weekend and didn't realize it was rated R...
YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT.
It is not the fault of the advertisers for making a kickass commercial that made you think this was like every other superhero movie. At the end of every commercial they tell you, both printed on the screen and in the deep voice of the announcer, that the film is rated R. In addition, every print ad you see, every time you look up the movie showtime, they tell you the rating. They don't tell you the rating in fucking Sanskrit, people. It takes about 2.5 seconds to find out the rating of a film. You are a parent. IT IS YOUR GODDAMN RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TAKING YOUR KIDS TO SEE. You'll read the label of the food you buy your kids but you won't find out what a film you take them to see is rated?
Fuck you. It's not the advertising's fault. It's yours. You're a grown up. Act like one.
