So, I just watched this flick called "CleanFlix" about editing R-rated movies, largely a Utah phenomenon.

If I understand, the LDS leader (Prophet?) made a kind of non-binding request that LDS's shouldn't watch R-rated movies. 

My question is, isnt the MPAA kind of an arbitrary/stupid organization? Like, if you're being mindful of what goes in your mind, it's okay to hear "fuck" once per movie, or see buckets of severed heads fly through the air (PG-13 ROTK)? Is something as full of nonsense as film ratings really a good way to judge what should go into your mind? Are "Schindler's List" and "Saw 4" really morally equal?

Do you personally watch R-Rated movies? And whats your take on edited movies?
