Jaws is a special case as it is PG but comes with an additional warning. There is no law to prevent kids from buying PG or PG-13 movies, but some cinemas and stores may set their own boundaries, I guess.
There is an argument to be made that as the internet has given people more violence, gore and sex in abundance and easier accessibility than ever before, movies that don't include any of those elements just don't hold our interest anymore.
It's ironic that the G rating has come to elicit a public bias similar to the NC-17 (formerly X) aka 18, and movies with a G carry marketing problems similar to movies attached to the latter rating; parents don't want to take their kids to see NC-17 movies because they're too adult and they don't want to take them to see G-rated movies because there is nothing adult.
The MPAA in the U.S. also rates all Disney movies PG now. They seem to have retired the G rating (intended for all audiences) for the most part.
Didn't she marry an Arab and convert to Islam? Then shouldn't she be covered up in a burqa? What does her husband think about her singing haram Christmas songs to the infidels?
He said that the charges were dropped. What I find confusing is that he did break out of prison and that is a felony in itself AFAIK.
I doubt Americans really mind if white people cross the border illegally. Before 1917, when the boats all came from Europe, immigration was practically free, and almost nobody thinks that was a bad thing. They're only against it when the illegals are brown.
Going by Tomatometer rankings, it's not in the bottom three. Those are Octopussy, The Man with the Golden Gun and A View to a Kill, all starring Roger Moore as 007. It comes as the fifth worst, while The World is Not Enough is the worst Brosnan Bond at #4. I didn't count the original Casino Royale which is at the bottom.

Amongst the fifth worst on Metacritic, Die Another Day is not included. They are Live and Let Die, The Spy Who Loved Me, For Your Eyes Only, Tomorrow Never Dies and The Man with the Golden Gun.

DAD does rank the lowest based on IMDb ratings, however.

Gosh, I remember when he turned 60. That seems like it was yesterday.
<blockquote>Why don’t you like to be called “Clay” anymore?
Oh, Clay was not my name.
Once we follow the belief, hear the . . . understand the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, and come into a knowledge of ourselves that we want to be called after names of our people, which are names to fit us black people.
<b>And Clay was a white man’s name</b>. It was a slave name. And I’m no longer Clay. I’m no longer a slave. So now I’m Muhammad Ali.</blockquote>
If Clay is a white name, I doubt Muhammad is much less so.
<blockquote>Sahih al-Bukhari, Number 63:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: While we were sitting with the Prophet in the mosque, a man came riding on a camel. He made his camel kneel down in the mosque, tied its foreleg and then said:
“Who amongst you is Muhammad?”
At that time the Prophet was sitting amongst us leaning on his arm.
We replied, <b>“This white man reclining on his arm</b>.”
Sahih Muslim 6071:
It was narrated from Al-Jurairi from Abu At-Tufail: “I said to him: ‘Did you see the Messenger of Allah?’
He said: ‘Yes, <b>he was white with an elegant face</b>.’”</blockquote>
This is Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi, Muhammad's 34th grandson:

In the Sudan, even to this day, Arabic-speaking Muslim East Africans hold Christian West African slaves:
<blockquote>The Society notes that the ruling Umma Party draws its support from the Baggara Arabs, whose militia is responsible for human rights violations that include slavery; that Khartoum, if not advocating racism, is effectively pursuing a racist policy in regard to its African population, in particular the Dinka; and that the Dinka people as a whole are being treated as an internal enemy and are considered synonymous with the SPLA.</blockquote>

Yes, well, but even so, it was hardly the smorgasbord of it like there is today. Going back to the 60's, Playboys were all you had and they didn't even show full nudity. In the 70's, you had hardcore magazines like Al Goldstein's SCUM but most regarded hardcore as something obscene and lowbrow. Larry Flynt's Hustler in that period was shunned by many just for showing full nudity.
Hah, I remember Kazaa. That infected your computer with malware while you were downloading MP3s.
BitTorrent, Direct Connect and Hyphanet.
Yeah, but Playboys were not really hardcore stuff.
Did you even read my post? I said that immigration from a libertarian POV is a good thing when the immigrants come to work fresh off the boats.
Most Western countries save for maybe Canada and Australia no longer have much labour-based immigration as in the past. Rather, the foreign-born populations tend to have statistically higher rates of unemployment than the native population.
Immigrants will get old and need pensions too.
Then there is AI coming to replace the manual jobs anyway.
In the 80's, illegal immigration from a libertarian standpoint was good because it forced the immigrants to work and did not give them handouts which they would have qualified for if they had come legally. But today that is no longer the case because illegals now are given benefits.

My dad is a gynecologist, and he looks at vaginas all day long.
<b>When one gets beaten up every other day in school, one, of necessity, develops a keen sense of hearing. Incidentally, one can get beaten up in school simply by referring to oneself as "one."</b>—Sheldon, The Big Bang Theory, S03E13
Heck, in one episode of Young Sheldon, he got beaten up a by a girl much younger than him.
He had a tendency to mistake his own name for Brian Boitano's.

I'm surprised that cinemas are showing a film that isn't rated. Traditionally you always had to cut it down to an R for the theatres and wait until the home video release to put out the uncut version.
