R-Card dodges rating system, critics say
9:51 PM 7/06/04
Micheline Maenad New York Times
With school out for summer, Kirsten Larson and Sydni Norris of Bloomington, Ill., often head with their friends to the Parkway Cinemas. But they do not always pick the same movie to see. <
Kirsten, 16, and Sydni, 15, can get into R-rated movies that their friends cannot view without an adult along. They each have an "R-card," a parent-permission slip issued by the GKC Theaters chain, which has theaters in 24 cities, including Bloomington, in five Midwestern states....
Per the article this was done by the theater owners not the movie industry as a whole. They are a private company that can make business decisions on there own. I think its responsible of them to offer this service to the parents to have a choice and make a descion as to weather or not there kids can partake in seeing an R rated movie. giving the choice to the parents is alwys the best.It's discusting that the movie industry would even CONSIDER such an action that would allow the parents to condone such behavior. The rating system was a good thing when it was started - now it just shows how pathetic our society has become. It's only going to get worse unless we do something about it.
