I understand what you are saying and that is a good point. I would be happy with something that simple, as long as there was a detailed place online that I could find the "content" information. No matter what rating is in use, it will be considered subjective. Everyone has different ideas/beliefs/morals and that is fine. The rating system should not push one set of beliefs more then another, that is not it's job. Its job is to inform about movie content. I like keeping it simple. By having the content available, (online per se) anyone one would be able to make informed decisions if they deem the content appropriate for their kids.

agree. I never said there should not be something more that is available on-line. But in the end anything but a good synopsis that deals with what you care about won't really tell you much about the film. But I also don't think everyone has the time to research every film completely, so you need an easy system that can be with the film (be it film poster, ticket counter, BD, DVD...) and that is what I thought we were discussing. Here it consists of the rating (like the ones I posted earlier) and maybe a few lines dealing with content like on the back jacket of the Matador BD http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/4...nadabluray.jpg (that is the Canadian rating)

I just moved to Utah. I grew up in California.

It does not take time do research the rating. It would only take another 90 seconds after checking a movie time online.

maybe but if you need to go through a list of bad words and a list of nudity and a list of violence and gore and.... my guess it might take a bit longer than that but evgen if we assume 90 seconds ratings are for more than just theatrical presentations and so there is no reason to go on-line if someone is buying or renting a film at a B&M location or Kiosk.

The issue is that what you want already exists there are many different "parenting" sites that give more info.
