Where is this movie theater?


I have a feeling that other theaters probably didn't enforce the "R" rating.

2. In the MPAA's defense, the movie was pretty graphic
The open shrapnel wounds on Iraqi civilians and American GIs were very graphic, the more so because it was the real deal.

4. But Michael Moore has a valid point
I understand that younger teens probably need adult supervision, but older teens (16-17) should not only be allowed to see the movie heck it should be required viewing.

Right now our military gets the names & phone numbers of all these kids so they can actively recruit them into the military. Heck you saw the scene with the 2 recruiters at the mall; they were worse than someone trying to recruit for a pyramind sales scam. These kids are being told what a wonderful career it is with the military but they should also be shown the downside of serving: That you may be required to serve in wars overseas and this is the type of stuff you will be doing.

I would think that if this theater and other theaters were lax on the "R" rating it is probably for older teenage kids
