Since we have no children and, despite my baby face, I actually AM old enough to watch R rated movies (take that old lady who carded me last time I went to the theater) I've never thought to check out the parental advisory notes posted on Netflix. Why would I? But for some reason Nathan did, and it turns out that whoever writes the warning notes can be a funny little guy. Or gal. Or hermaphrodite. Whatever, I don't judge.
It's not so much that the writer is trying to be humorous, but there's something in the tone that cracks me up. See?:
Sin City: Social Behavior - Diverse characters; women are strong and capable but also mostly hookers and/or nude.
Pulp Fiction: Violence - Rape, drug overdose, car accidents, shootings, killings, vast amounts of blood, and so much more.
Alice in Wonderland: Violence - The Queen of Hearts yells "off with her head!" but as a card she's hard to take too seriously.
The Big Lebowski: Violence - Men threaten to cut off the Dude's penis; fighting between the Dude and some nihilists; a police chief throws a coffee cup at the Dude's head
March of the Penguins: Social Behavior - Penguins are very determined and very cute.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: Social Behavior - All major characters white.
Stranger Than Fiction: Commercialism- A wristwatch figures prominently in the storyline. Also guitars.
At least, I find it funny. But then again, I'm also the person who thinks that Basket Case is one of the finest pieces of comic cinema ever created, so what do I know?
