I watched the Coen Brothers’ version of True Grit last night, and it was great, but how did they manage to get a PG-13? The MPAA is pretty strict about showing gore in a PG-13 movie and this one’s got brutal gunshots, severed fingers, graphic hangings, and a guy biting his tongue in half. I don’t even think it deserves an R, it’s just that movies this violent usually get one.
