bluegargantuaHey,
So sure, there's lots of other great things to talk about, but I'm most interested in the fact that Jack Valenti died.
Y'know how you can shoot someone and still get a PG or PG-13 rating, but you can't show a boob without it automatically going to R and an erect penis puts you squarely in X? Yeah, that's all his fault. I'm sure he was a very nice guy personally, but his ratings system is a complete disaster.
Will this change? Well, probably not anytime soon, but with the chief architect gone and growing criticism perhaps a more realistic (or at least more transparent) process will come along.
