Barker in Entertainment Weekly

Just wondering if anybody saw the article on the decrease of R-rated movies
in the June 10th Entertainment Weekly. The last paragraph is some
commentary by Clive.

"When one looks at the pattern of the best movies made in this country, many
of them have been R-rated and, I woul say, high art - Taxi Driver, the
Godfather pictures, Apocalypse Now.

OOPS, I accidently sent that off before finishing........ here I go again:

"When one looks at the pattern of the best movies made in this country, many
of them have been R-rated and, I woul say, high art - Taxi Driver, the
Godfather pictures, Apocalypse Now," notes Hellraiser's Clive Barker. In
response to what he sees as a softened PG-13 horror genre (e.g., The Ring
Two, The Grudge), Barker is creating a series of intentionally hardcore
fright flicks- in the vein of the epitome of the genre: "Almost everything
(that happens) to Linda Blair in the Exorcist would have to go with a
PG-14," Barker says. And that's enough to make anybody's head spin.
