Matrix -- Rated R

Hey,

I know I had a pain in the ass, and then some, on getting advance tickets to see Matrix: Reloaded. And I'm 21. The theatres, at least around here, are being complete asses about the R rating, and not giving tickets to anyone under 17. My brother was 17, yet just barely got a ticket to the movie.

I'm guessing that a lot of kids will have trouble seeing this movie, which isn't a bad thing, since I hate it when teens act like assholes during the movie.

Just wondering what you guys thought. I know I'll probably see it more at my home theatre, since if someone is under 17, they aren't getting in. Cuts down on the assholes...maybe. I actually hate the technical college (wannabe college) students more. They think they know so much. Dumbasses.

Jedi do not fight for peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace.

Why should our government send our soldiers to foreign soil to protect freedom of speech, when our freedom of speech is being taking away everyday by the same government.

I saw it last night. They were carding everyone. I didn't realize it was rated R because I didn't buy the ticket. My friend just called me up and asked if I wanted to go to the premier with them.

Maybe I've just been desensitized, but I didn't see what would merit an R rating.

When you are told something for years, you learn to accept it. But, after the truth is revealed, you feel conufusion, isolation, and depression. Then you ask, where do I belong? I'm searching for that answer.
