Film Ratings Proposal

In the interest of conserving bandwidth, Film Scouts would like to propose an expansion of film rating acronyms, to include editorial opinion not offered by the official MPAA "G", "PG", "NC-17", etc. Here are a few proposals, which (if approved) could start turning up in our reviews. We would love to have comments and suggestions from readers to refine and further define this concept.

LTIC: Laughed 'Til I Cried

MM: Mushy, Mushy

CBTAMTP: [I] Can't Believe They Actually Made This Picture

GSBV: Get Stoned Before Viewing
