by Kieth Merrill
"It's a great movie!" "But it's R-rated." "Ya, but there are only a couple of bad scenes."
Sound familiar? Ever caught yourself reciting this dialogue? Ever been
caught in a compromise between 102 minutes of really great cinema

| Story: Can't stop copying, period |
vfposter writes "Magical Thinking
By Shannon Cochran
December 24, 2001

| WhitePapers: Ratings and Revenues |
vfposter writes "Stumbled on this while browsing for film research articles.
