Larry Miller Boycott

Earlier this week I published the call for a Larry H. Miller Boycott due to his action of removing the film “Brokeback Mountain” from his Megaplex Theater Complex. Someone responded to that post stating that they will now choose to purposefully patronize Miller’s businesses beause he did a “great thing for the decreasing morals in the United States.” (I responded to that – you can click the link to read my response.)

So I looked at the Megaplex Theater website. Here are the films being shown that are rated “R”. All of the “R” rated movies have this disclaimer:
For the comfort and convenience of our Guests, no children under the age of 5 will be admitted to movies with R ratings after 6:00 PM. (Does this mean that children under the age of 5 are admitted to “R” movies before 6pm????):

Casanova – In Venice, a fifth-generation Casanova meets his match when he falls for the sister of the boy he is hired to tutor on the ways of seducing women. A re-telling of the Casanova story set in the 18th century. Genres: Comedy, Drama and Romance Running Time: 1 hr. 48 min. Release Date: December 25, 2005 MPAA Rating: R for some sexual content.

Hostel – Two adventurous American college buddies, Paxton and Josh, backpack through Europe eager to make quintessentially hazy travel memories with new friend Oli, an Icelander they’ve met along the way. Paxton and Josh are eventually lured by a fellow traveler to what’s described as a nirvana for American backpackers–a particular hostel in an out-of-the-way Slovakian town stocked with Eastern European women as desperate as they are gorgeous. The two friends arrive and soon easily pair off with exotic beauties Natalya and Svetlana. In fact, too easily. Initially distracted by the good time they’re having, the two Americans quickly find themselves trapped in an increasingly sinister situation that they will discover is as wide and as deep as the darkest, sickest recess of human nature itself–if they survive. Genres: Suspense/Horror Running Time: 1 hr. 35 min. Release Date: January 6th, 2006 (wide) MPAA Rating: R for brutal scenes of torture and violence, strong sexual content, language and drug use.

All others are rated PG, PG-13 or no rating and there is only one rated G.
One of those movies, “Memoirs of a Geisha” has this synopsis:
Love story of a tormented young geisha and a kind man who was her anonymous patron.

Now I ask you readers: What constitutes “decreased morals” in the United States?
