    Senate panel supports
more stringent ratings
RATINGS from page 12
broadcasters to do what Congress en
visioned ... empower parents to pro
tect their children from harmful tele
vision programming,” said the
committee’s chairman, Sen. John
McCain, R-Ariz., who had voted
against an earlier version of the bill.
Existing ratings use designations
from “TV-G,” programs suitable for
all ages, to “TV-MA,” for mature au
diences only. Most shows have been
rated “TV-PG,” parental supervision
suggested.
Though critics also have com
plained the existing ratings don’t pro
vide adequate information about
sexual and language content,
Hollings’ proposal deals only with vio
lence.
The broadcasting and cable indus
tries oppose the bill, saying it is un
constitutional. The best way to handle
ratings is voluntarily, they said.
Supporters point out the Supreme
Court has upheld government limits
on when indecent shows may be aired
on TV and radio stations. Those lim
its were designed to protect children.
The House bill is not likely to be
voted on by the telecommunications
subcommittee any time soon.
“We got a ways to go,” conceded
David Moulton, aide to the bill’s au
thor, Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass.
The panel will hold a TV ratings hear
ing in Peoria, 111., May 19.
Hollings’ bill would require broad
casters and most cable channels to ei
ther provide more detailed informa
tion about shows’ violent content or
air those shows only when children
are not likely to be viewing.
Premium cable channels such as
HBO and Showtime and pay-per-view
programs are not covered by the bill
on the grounds people expressly
choose to have them enter their homes.
Regulating them would pose consti
tutional problems, Hollings’ aides ex
plained.
The FCC is reviewing the TV
industry’s voluntary ratings system
and will hold a hearing June 4. If the
FCC finds the system unsuitable, it can
move to appoint an independent ad
visory board to create a new system.
Amy atypical love story j
AMY from page 12
struggles to grow, they both have is
sues they need to deal with—Alyssa’s
struggle with her sexuality and “be
trayal” to her lesbian friends, and
Holden’s strained friendship with
Banky.
This is the third in Kevin Smith’s
“New Jersey Trilogy,” following the
Cannes and Sundance Film Festival
award-winner “Clerks” and 1995’s
“Mallrats.” Affleck, Adams and Lee
all appeared in “Mallrats,” and, of
course, the first two films’ Silent Bob
(Smith) and Jay (Jason Mewes) make
appearances.
This movie is so refreshing — it’s
raw and painfully honest and it takes
an earnest look at finding the “right
person” in contemporary society.
There’s plenty of “two-guys
hangin’-out” raunchy humor and
sharp-as-a-knife dialogue, skewed
takes on popular culture.
“Gerks” gained tremendous inde
pendent success and cult status, but
“Mallrats” wasn’t as well-received by
critics. They say the third time’s the
charm — it’s safe to say Smith has a
hit with “Chasing Amy.” 1
