THR:
The poster campaign for the DVD release of horror movie Final Destination 5 has been banned in the U.K. by the Advertising Standards Authority for upsetting children.
The ad watchdog ruled that the poster, which shows a skull being shattered by steel rods driven through its mouth and eye sockets, must not appear again in its current form after upholding a slew of complaints from adults with upset children.
Don’t let the cringey awkwardness of The Office fool you: Michael Scott would actually be the perfect boss.
Nekki has announced that the forthcoming gun fu game, SPINE, will receive a movie adaptation to expand the franchise.
Despite the lack of updates from Marvel Studios and Disney, Shang-Chi star Simu Liu says the sequel to the successful 2021 movie is still happening.
Stupid.
Wah Wah I'm a middle aged mother that lets my child meander around walmart dvd store isles and get mad when a CGI skull is rendered with rods wah waaaah!
Back in my day kids would wander down the horror isle with a bewildered look of fear at all the "chucky" and other creepy horror covers.
These are clearly very sensitive kids. Sensitivity in kids is becoming an increasingly bothersome problem in the UK. Its cause is simple. Kids nowadays are not being subjected to enough trauma. In my local community in Ireland, Fr. Paddy the Paedophile was our antidote.
So silly.
1; the skull looks more like a mask.
2; there's no gore or organs exposed.
3; I'm certain they've seen more, if not equally, unsettling things on a weekly basis, whether it's through the web, TV, etc.
Now, the keyword is "unsettling".
I've seen cartoons or animation (aimed @ youths) which feature scary looking mascots/characters,
Which is "unsettling", if you ask me.
really? its not that disturbing
