"Frankly, by dumbing down your movie choices for kids, you end up raising dumb adults who are poor citizens."
...and ones who grow up with a suburban-cocoon-view of adult life. Parents who have to debate whether to let their kids see Hitchcock, who did any number of suspenseful-but-not violent flicks like NORTH BY NORTHWEST or THE THIRTY-NINE STEPS?! Damm, that's just sad. (And if it's the sexual content they are objecting to, they've got to be kidding--that stuff goes right over kids' heads. I didn't pick up any of the NBN-dialogue innuendos till I saw the movie again as an adult.)
