Comments on: The Boundaries of R-Rated Advertising http://blog.spout.com/2008/08/22/the-boundaries-of-r-rated-advertising/ Daily coverage of what is truly interesting in the film world Sat, 13 Mar 2010 21:02:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Bill http://blog.spout.com/2008/08/22/the-boundaries-of-r-rated-advertising/#comment-111448 Bill Fri, 22 Aug 2008 20:18:35 +0000 http://blog.spout.com/?p=4090#comment-111448 I captioned the Red Band trailer for Tropic Thunder. http://tubecaption.com/watch?v=cQ_XZiXDGPw&vcId=156 It seemed that the trailer was more PG/PG13, compared to the movie. The first part of the movie was really dense with coarse language. I think that the green trailers can be misleading, as to whether a audience might enjoy a flick. But Redband trailers, for the most part, I think, should say in theatres, in R-rated movie previews. Keep the "greenband" for general audience, and promote the part of the rating that says why it's rated that way. I captioned the Red Band trailer for Tropic Thunder.
