"Parents Strongly Cautioned"

I am neither a TV viewer nor a movie-goer, so until I looked into it, I did not know much about ratings for viewers.

It seems the movie scheduled for viewing at the Aug. 28 event, "The Fast and the Furious 4," is rated PG 13, a category for which all may be admitted but for which parents are strongly cautioned for content.

Click here for an explanation of ratings.

We have no idea what age ranges will attend the movie night, but on the face of it, a milder rating might have been more suitable so as to safely include younger children.

The City Council approved a budget for the Music in the Plaza events, but if you are a resident and want to know how come it expanded to a car show and a dubious movie filming, let your elected officials know what you think. Here are links to your elected officials.

Just what we need, the public showing of a movie about car theft. Brilliant.

Anything new on this? Are they still planning on showing this violent movie? Who decides that this is suitable for families with children? Since this is the mayor's event it would follow that she chose the movie. If she didn't, she needs to check the judgment of whoever did and change it. What's the point of all this anyway? It seems like it would incur additional costs to the city.
