RC, I'll be ready to re-format the hard drive on my old computer on Sunday, same time as last week, will you be around to help me? I think you're 10 hours ahead of me. so, if I get on about 10:00 AM my time, that's 8 :00 PM your time. Let me know if we have to adjust our time so you'll be able to be here to guide me, since I don't know what your plans are. Thanks.
Texas is watching us and taking notes, I think, for when he has to do the same to his computer.
😄 😄
Just returned from seeing Captain Corelli's Mandolin, with Nicholas Cage. It's a good movie. Mind you, it's R rated, but there wasn't that much R in it. There were 4 f*** ***'s, 3 scenes showing bare boobs, war violence of soldiers being gunned down. I think that was it. Bet the R rating is to draw the audience. Liked it very much. Love story set in WWII on a Greek island. If Nicholas Cage did his own singing, he's got a pretty good voice. Just like I didn't expect Ewan to have such a good voice in Moulin Rouge. 😄 😄 😄 If it weren't for the f's and bare boobs, I think it would have been less than a PG17, closer to a mature PG13. I would rate it a European PG13.
I did wonder that. Not sure about the rest of Europe but in the UK we have;

Before anyone asks in confusion, that's NOT a trick on the last one, just a slight typing slip, I assume.
Also on vidoe there is a special sub-category of U for Universal called U:c, which means Universal (specially suited ofr children).
The early video releases of Star Wars got a U:c rating, somewhat inexplicably. You see, kids film or otherwise, U:c is used for things like Care Bear movies and Teletubbbies, and is massivley inappropriate to a film with death and gunfights and scary guys in black.
They realised their mistake later and changed it to a normal U. Still, there are still people that think the skeletons in ANH warrant a PG.
