Cranky Hanke’s Screening Room: What offends you?

I was talking to an old friend about movie ratings. He mentioned that on military bases movies were rated in pre-MPAA rating days—something with which I was unfamiliar.

What slightly surprised me was my immediate response, “And so it ought to have been,” and the realization that I find this movie offensive.
