Re: Fav question (bad buzz) from PACE 20

"Mars Attacks" was R-rated? (Or was the question
actually about "Freddy Got Fingered?") 

I'd think
twice about writing a TU about a contemporary R-rated
movie for a HS tournament but I'd feel more comfortable
including a question or two about a older movie (say, "The
Godfather" or "The Terminator") that may have gotten such a
rating so long as the question wasn't placing special
emphasis on whatever it was that earned that movie an
R-rating (i.e. a gory depiction of the violence or
explicit references to sex scenes). Even assuming that no
one under 17 ever saw R-rated movies, there's more
than one way to familiarize oneself with knowledge of
the plot of, say, "Saving Private Ryan" or "Pulp
Fiction."
