I rented some DVDs this weekend. One of them is The Missing with Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchett. Rogers Video has put the following information on the DVD package:

Sex/Nudity: mild innuendo; male bare buttocks
Drugs/Alcohol: social/casual drinking; people are drunk; someone smokes
Violence/Scariness: fatal gunplay; dead and bloody bodies seen; kids are kidnapped; someone killed with mystical dust; someone kills herself; kids are physically assaulted; someone forced to eat dirt; an attempted rape; people killed with arrows; people fight; someone beaten to death; horses are shot; a horse shot with flaming arrow; people fall to their deaths
Objectionable Words/Phrases: approx. 5

Am I the only one who thinks that this is weird?

I used to help maintain a list of movies with Suicide in them for the suicide survivors group - for those people that are still trying to recover from a recent family members suicide it is often best not to see suicide when trying to relax and socialize

That's a good point. Thanks for bringing it up.
