I mean is that really much different than an R rating? It's just for parents to have an idea of what they're getting for their kids

Unless a movie trailer is intentionally deceptive regarding content, would ratings really be necessary after watching a preview? I'm of the opinion many trailers are not honest - they cut out the dirty stuff - but there are Red Band trailers that do basically show uncensored material.

Should every trailer be the Red Band version so you can get a good look instead of wondering if PG or PG-13 or R is really just right? There's not a lot of real critical thinking that can come from "Brief Nudity. Light Drug Use. Violence." hashtags to go with MPAA or videogame ratings I think...
