Mother CollateralDamage sent along this gem by A.O. Scott:
“Wendy and Lucy” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). It has some swearing, a little drug use and a brief implication of violence, but no nudity, sex or murder. The rating seems to reflect, above all, an impulse to protect children from learning that people are lonely and that life can be hard.

Collateral Damage
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
Mother CollateralDamage sent along this gem by A.O. Scott:
in 1973 I had this inkling that the society at large was going to be one that didn’t quite fit with my idea of where i’d want to bring children…But if I had had them, i’d want them protected from war, violance, and deceipt…so, how would you do that in 2008..Older minds want to know.

well, given that I just spent the evening working with Greg on a research paper about the Holocaust I’m not all that worried about protecting him from fiction.
