...movie companies, who want to squeeze every dollar out of young teens, hate to see their most reliable audience barred at the theater door. Not that moviemakers can't get away with a lot. Baron Cohen's last jape, the 2006 Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, contained a nude-wrestling scene that had the star's face in the genitals of his fat, hairy assistant - but it received wide distribution and grossed $129 million domestically on an $18 million budget because the MPAA withheld the taboo rating and gave it an R, which...

...Bloom's collaboration is upcoming. Obama, in putting new conditions on any more billions being handed to Detroit, gave Chrysler 30 days to strike a partnership with Fiat and GM 60 days to avoid bankruptcy court. Rattner will have to browbeat intransigent bondholders. Bloom will have to force major benefit cuts on the unions. And both will have to sell management on a radical reordering of their companies, one in which both capital and labor take a serious hit in order to keep the machine running...
