...give the movie a suitably antique look, the directors have simulated scratches and streaks on the image, the occasional flutter of the faux-nitrate in the imaginary gate and, in each feature, a sign supplied by "the management" reading MISSING REEL. (Both of these are during sex scenes; I guarantee that, if this had happened in the old days, there would have been a riot at the Variety...
...find sex, or even the aura of sexuality, in films by the current generation of pop-referencing auteurs. They swarm all over the violence in '60s-'70s grindhouse movies but are squeamish in showing the eroticism that once was crucial to the genre.

Darling describes...
...adoptions by saying the importance of providing for children gives the state the right to set rules for their adoption. And later that year, it ruled that a district judge in Alabama had erred in using Lawrence to strike down the state's prohibition on the sale of sex toys. Only in Massachusetts, with its famous gay marriage decision handed down four months after Lawrence, has a top appeals court sided with plaintiffs seeking to use the decision to void state laws regarding sex or marriage...
