...often get a pass. Leos Carax's 1999 Pola X contained a love scene with a somberly lighted but unmistakable view of an erect penis, yet it received a U in France, the equivalent of our G. (The film had a limited, unrated release in the States.) Y tu mama tambien, Alfonso Cuaron's Mexican comedy-drama about two teenage boys and the slightly older woman they take on a jaunt, could be seen by 12-year-olds in France but was forbidden to under-18s by the MPAA...
...Occasionally, a film goes into the marketplace unrated and finds a welcoming adult audience. Y tu mama tambien earned $13.8 million at the North American box office, along with lots of critics' awards, and $19.8 million abroad. That cume, $33.6 million, is pretty good for a sexy little art film with a budget (according to the Internet Movie Database) of about $5 million.

After I paid, I took the train back to Manhattan. I was still wearing Barber's clothes and was now filled with his food. I'm not sure I was "impregnated with nutrient density...
...have to talk to smart single women for long before the subject moves on to the difficulty of finding even a standard-issue male. The more powerful the woman, the more elusive the match. Nor are married women above a little Y-chromosome deflation. "What Shamu Taught Me About a Happy Marriage" was one of the most e-mailed stories from the New York Times archive in recent weeks. It's a woman's account of using taming techniques on her spouse that she picked up from animal trainers. Apparently, if it works on a cricket, it works...
