Put That Out

I don't usually pay any attention to movie ratings.  Though sometimes when the rating appears on the screen, I will read the reasons behind the rating.  I watched Midnight in Paris this weekend and was surprised by the reason for its PG-13 rating.  Some sexual references and smoking were what earned this movie the PG-13.  Is smoking so bad that you need to be thirteen to view it?

  1. Yes. There was a movement to go back and ret-con old movie ratings because of smoking. I remember reading an article about whether or not Casablanca ought to be rated R because of all the smoking in it.
