The sad state of things is that, although the technology evolved to our current 21st century level, the legislation didn't follow suit.
Here is the 11 titles available for international markets (like Brazil, for instance):
Blue Mountain State: The Rise of Thadland Deck the Halls Leprechaun Leprechaun 2 Leprechaun 3 Leprechaun 4 movie collection Leprechaun 4: Lost in Space Natural Born Pranksters Return of the Living Dead 3 Russkies Two Family House
Excellent selection if you are the #1 fan of the Leprechaun series, not so much otherwise.
Thank you for helping rational behavior continue.
It's not all bad everywhere though. When he was in elementary school, we were asked to come in and pick our son up one day. Apparently he claimed that he was going to "blow up the building and kill everyone." The principal understood that as a 7 year-old he was probably kidding, but had to make a point that the behavior was unacceptable so he had to leave for the rest of the day. No police being called, no lockdown, no suspension. Just go home and talk to your parents and come back the next day.
(And a bit later, I realized the reason the phrase sounded so familiar is because he heard it in a movie ("Deck the Halls") we had watched a week earlier.)
On the other hand, when a bomb threat was found in the High School in the same district, the entire school district was locked down, kids in the HS evacuated, bomb disposal teams called in and the kid responsible tossed in jail for making threats of terrorism.
Point being is that some school districts do take care to have a measured response to these things.
