1. He claimed '...none of them had violence in them, and none of them had sexual content in them' for the Top-10 movies - the facts show otherwise.

2. I didn't hi-lite the 'R' claim because his claim that "...none of them were R-rated" was true.

3. I certainly don't know how Toy Story 3 got a 'G' - it had some pretty dark and violent elements to it. Joan Graves from the MPAA says that giving this movie a G-rating was a mistake. They said the movie should've been at least a PG, one of the reasons being a scene involving an incinerator almost killing the main characters.

G: THE MOTION PICTURE CONTAINS NOTHING THAT WOULD OFFEND PARENTS FOR VIEWING BY THEIR CHILDREN.

PG: PARENTS ARE URGED TO USE "PARENTAL GUIDANCE", AS THE MOTION PICTURE MAY CONTAIN SOME MATERIAL PARENTS MIGHT NOT LIKE FOR THEIR YOUNGER CHILDREN TO VIEW.

4. If he saw no violence in the movies ranked #3, 4, 5, and 6, he didn't see them and the MPAA which rates them certainly disagrees.
  • Harry Potter: Rated PG-13 for some sequences of intense action violence, frightening images and brief sensuality.
  • Twilight-Eclipse: Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence, and some sensuality.
  • Ironman 2: Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence, and some language.
  • Inception: Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and action throughout.
5. If he saw no sexual content (sensuality) in the Harry Potter and Twilight movies, he didn't see them and the MPAA disagrees with his opinion.

His comments just make me wonder whether the guy is that naive' or has some other agenda for his comments and believes we're so naive' to believe him.
