Complete BS. One of the last scenes in my favorite movie (Thank you for Smoking) nods to the fact that the world is, in fact, coming to this.

This is a dangerous precedent, as the anti-smoking lobby has realized the power of movies.

I'm taking my kids to see "UP" this evening. And, honestly, I have already begun attaching balloons to my house . . . but I'm an ADULT!

Are you kidding me? That's completely inane. R ratings should be reserved for things that children aren't normally exposed to.....sex, violence, nudity, drugs (hopefully), etc...
