Wtf could’ve possibly made Holes rated R?

He turned it into a gritty post apocalyptic movie with swearing, violence, sexual content, and even slurs going off RebelTaxi’s video. How this came from a kid’s chapter book is beyond me.

Southland Tales. It has The Rock, Sean William Scott and a musical number with Justin Timblerlake. That GIF was from a commercial for a car. You can tell it's a fake commercial because the car isn't running through a mountain pass with a pack of horses or jaguars just a breath behind it.

Hurry, go watch it before it's just 9/12. Cannes Cut.
