Warning
I was watching the tv last night, and saw a new ad for Will Smith’s new film, Seven Pounds. “Ooo,” thunk I. “That looks ok.”
Then I noticed the little disclaimer thing – you know the one – it usually says something like “Contains scenes of moderate violence” or some such. Well this one said “Contains emotionally intense scenes.”
Say what?
That’s worthy of a warning? Are Hollywood now so worried about being sued that they feel the need to warn you that you might make your make-up run? I go to the cinema to have a bit of escapism – I want it to be intense. Surely any film worth watching should have at least a couple of “emotionally intense” scenes? What on earth are the going to start writing on the box for The Green Mile?

They should have a warning on films that people in the movie cry - that always makes me sob. I cried in Scrubs the other day and American Wife Swap.
