...The One-Minute Pundit

Even as vast hordes of unaccompanied kids make it into another R movie, one of THE CONSPIRACY's mouthpieces is worried:

The ultimate fear is that watchdog groups and Washington lawmakers could try to exert political pressure on the industry -- precisely the reason Valenti started the system in the 1960s.

And, of course, there is always the worry that the ratings system will somehow make its way into the 2008 election campaigns.


Pray, brother -- pray!

And of course the biz continues to daydream about The Gene Siskel Memorial Arthouse Rating:

As one studio exec puts it, "There really needs to be a good, commercial movie that can break through the tide. The problem is, most of the NC-17 films have been niche or arthouse. It's unclear whether the problem is the rating or the movie."

How about both?
