» In the next few weeks we will be trying out In-Text Advertising, a new type of advertising that we think is less intrusive than many other formats. Basically, keywords on our pages that correspond to an advertiser's product or service will be double-underlined in green. More details here.
Culled from the ancestral memories of director Ron Howard,
the film tells the story of a poor Irish boy with a mean punch (Tom Cruise) and a rich
Irish girl with a mean temper (Nicole Kidman), who arrive in Boston during the early
1800's and join the Oklahoma land rush.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - Scantily clothed dancers in a cabaret, and a brothel. One
scene where Cruise dreams of he and Kidman making love, she is shown in her undergarments.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A lot of fist fighting, with lots of slow motion bleeding.
Cruise is stuck in the leg with a pitch fork, and Kidman is shot in the back, blood but no
real gore.

PROFANITY 1 - None to speak of apart from "bastard" and some
strong Irish slang. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Cultures run by the upper-class, hard-working poor enslaved
by the rich landowners.
