Wednesday is going to be a whole host of other Halloween staples that she hasn't seen yet. Like Practical Magic.

We watched Shock Treatment after that, and for some reason the DVD started smack in the middle of the movie. XD no idea why, we watched from half-way to the end. And I was so confused because I knew we were missing chunks of the movie.

She was mostly confused by the 'plot'.

I did yes. I introduced my friend to Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Soon I'll be poofing for my wine and movie night. :3 I'm going to introduce my friend to Rocky Horror Picture Show and it's 'sequel'.

Smoking is not entirely banned on tv or film, and kind of depends on who's making either. Like sometimes smoking can get you slapped with an R, and sometimes it won't.

Not here. Fuck is a massive no-no. People get really hung up on 'swear words' and sexy sex. But violence and gore is fine, at least here anyway.

I've watched a few UK and Australian crime documentaries, and like they say fuck like crazy. That would NEVER be allowed over here for a documentary. It would always get bleeped. Even the late at night ones. But at the same time it's way okay for NCISs little bits of gore, and that's allowed at prime time. Yes it looks amazingly fake, but still somehow that's less than the word fuck.

Then you get into the really dumb rules on what counts as what, and a lot of it is really sexist. Like Mean Girls was almost an R because of a few vagina jokes, even though the same kind of joke about a dick would be PG-13.

Eeeh yes technically. X did not use to refer to porn, it was more or less MA-17/NC-17. But it was happened to 'pornographic' films so often that it eventually came to mean porn. And PG-13 and R used to more or less be the same thing. Which is how some of Indiana Jones movies are PG-13 when they really needed to be an R. Then you get into the difference between hard and soft R. Basically going by America's rating system is dumb as fuck.

The US is: G, PG, PG-13, R, MA-17, XXX and those all meant different things depending on the decade.

And that is why using movie rating systems isn't such a good idea.
