surely you understand the fundamental questionability of Pre-Crime methodology

Sorry Ron but your way off.

The "X" rating was replaced by NC-17 in 1990, since X was associated with porn in most peoples mind, the MPAA dropped it since it was the only rating which they didn’t paten so anybody could use it. Thus "X" is no longer a rating used to classify movies. NC-17 means the same thing.
Also you had to be 18 NOT 21 to see an X rated film back in the day. On top of this it didn’t matter if you were accompanied by an adult, the theatre was still not supposed to let you in regardless if it was “X” rated.

Y Tu Mama Tambien and Requiem for a dream both surrendered their NC-17 ratings and opted to go "unrated" instead, because the directors refused to cut their films. Strangely enough, more theatres will carry your film if its "unrated" then if it was NC-17, even though the same admittance rules apply to both of them.

Lowes theaters consider them self a chain of “family theatres”. But all the B.S really means is that they won’t carry any NC-17 films because they consider them to be pornographic, when in reality that’s not always the case. The MPAA are just a bunch of stuck up religious pricks, who reside form the suburbs and are a jury of Soccer moms and Dads. Anything to do with heavy amounts of violence, sexual language (Kevin Smiths “Clerks” was first given an NC-17 just for offensive dialogue) and nudity, they feel shouldn’t be seen by anybody under 17, regardless if there’s a moral to the characters actions. (i.e the movie “L.I.E” which came out last year).
