Tired of the "not for my family" comments

Ok, I'm in ranting mode. WHY do people rent a film that clearly states why it's rated what it's rated, and then instead of REVIEWING the film, say how inappropriate they found it? I found a comment on a Lewis Black disc that my husband rented about how the comic used vulgar language. UH, yeah. Weren't you familiar with Lewis Black before you rented his DVD? If people can't handle the material then WHY are they members of NF? Maybe they should just sit home and stare at the ceiling. It's called life, people. Get on with it.

I wish i could reach in here and slap them. If they would have read the reviews in the first page they would have known that! Almost all the reviews on the first page say how its more for older children not really any children unger the age of about 9. I just add whatever i want to my queue cause its just me who watches them. But if i were renting for kids AND myself then i would read the reviews and all the info on the movie first.; ▶ Reply to This

Hello? No kids! I'm not the only one either...; ▶ Reply to This

HA HA HA!!

My fave example is Emanuelle in America. Read the 1 and 2 star reviews for that bad boy, preferably with an alcoholic beverage at hand.

A whole bunch of really outraged reviews can actually get me to queue a title because I like it when the Cleavers get provoked. :); ▶ Reply to This

I don't rent the stuff I know I will find objectionable and no one forces me to watch it. Freedom is a precious thing, and seems to be growing more so.; ▶ Reply to This

They rent French, Russian and Japanese movies, then complain that they weren't in English. They rent films rated R for language or nudity and complain about the profanity. I say we fence off Oklahoma and put these people there where they can't annoy or harm us any more.; ▶ Reply to This
