McG, the director of this summer’s Terminator: Salvation, is possibly being faced with a studio-mandated PG13 rating for his movie and he is unhappy about it. Now, I will admit that I prefer my dark dystopian post-Apocalyptic nightmares to be rated R, for REALISM. Because the truth is that when the robobombs fall and we’re all pushing our shopping carts through the snow-like ash down Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, trying to keep our son from going crazy or dying of starvation while the roving gangs of cannibalistic nightmares hunt us down like we were barrels of precious gasoline, it is not going to be “age appropriate.” But, um, this guy? This McG? He’s the fucking worst. From Vulture:

Apparently WB is trying to get him to remove a scene in which actress Moon Bloodgood appears without a shirt. “Do you want to see Moon’s boobs in the picture?” he reportedly asked an all-male crowd yesterday (you can imagine the response) while actually seated next to the poor actress.

Oh gross. Not that I would expect much more from a full grown adult who calls himself McG. Of course he thinks it’s appropriate to pander to a hormonally-imbalanced audience of socially awkward teenagers at a comic book conference by aggressively stripping (metaphorically and literally) someone of their humanity. So chill.

Even sentient machines know that this guy’s a total 101011100010101er.

"Terminator 5" to be R-Rated
The first three "Terminator" films were all R-rated, but then McG's "Terminator Salvation" decided it would be best to lower the rating to PG-13 in hopes of making the franchise for a more general audience that could result in higher grosses. It turned out ...

    With the AD clip and feminist outrage, I was expecting this post to be by Lindsay! Good for you, Gabe, for sending McG to jail on this one.

    I’ll post something on topic just after I wrap up this email to my parents entitled, “Fuck you, mom and dad, for not naming me Moon Bloodgood”

  3. I agree that McG is horrible but at the same time it’s not like Moon Bloodgood has anything else to offer.

    How would one pronounce his name? Like McGee? Emcee G? I mean, come on!

    If we don’t get a nude scene, Moon Bloodgood’s boobs and I are F@cking done professionally…

    Eh, sorry everybody… it’s 3 in the morning, that’s about all I can come up with.

  6. That’s so weird. I never heard Moon Bloodgood’s name before & now I’ve read it twice in one day. From here & from a review of the original Street Fighter movie from Eric D Snider (his bad movie reviews). She apperantly keeps putting herself in sucky flicks.

  7. Oh good. Good. Having never, ever seen a picture of this fully “grown” male who calls himself McG, I would have absolutely fucking totally called it that this douche looks just. fucking. exactly. like. he does. Douchechiiiiiiiiill.

    How did this McG (is the c for crap?) manage to have a part in Chuck. Chuck is great. Maybe thats the problem. The terminator is not supposed to be 100% tongue in cheek ‘drama’.
    Its supposed to be freaking gritty SciFi.

    He succeeded in creating a D- in an other wise B+ Terminator series. (that is A A B)
