Fair enough, then - the number of movies in each category, and their total
gross. That should tell you the relative power of the rating classes.

I think in most cases you can assume that the number of movies made in any
given catagory closely tracks the amount of revenue earned in the previous
few years by movies in that category.

We don't believe that Hollyweird has figured that trick out yet.

When blind idiocy can replace pure reason at will, like that, it's no wonder
the planet's still in such a state.

I've sort of managed to lose the thread here, but I would remind folks
that free-market theory claims that all profitable projects will be done.
Thus, even if one proves that a PG-13 movie is more profitable than an
R-rated movie, as long as the R-rated movie can be made profitably,
it will be.
Michael Medved, who used to be a fun bad-movie critic before he
veered off into cultural conservatism, complained that Hollywood creative
types make movies which offend mainstream America in order to gain
status with their peers, and he mostly thought this was a bad thing.
Seems like normal human behavior to me, though. Arts markets are
not entirely about return on investment.

Being offensive for any other reason than that you've got something to
say that just happens to be offensive, is -- offensive.

Hey, the 2006 Grammys are tomorrow night. Maybe this years will generate
some interest, eh? I'm looking foreward to the Gorillaz/Madonna bit!

(( I started a new item for the 2006 Grammy Awards, so it can be
linked into the new Music conference which should open to the
public any hour now. item:211 in the old music conference. ))

Note from the future...
I wish I'd backed up this conference before response deletion became
such a fad.
