And who's surprised? Wasn't the last Terminator film a 12 or some shit?

When I was a kid, I wouldn't have been caught DEAD watching a PG13 movie.

I have 2 conferences next month. Back to back weekends. The first is on Credit and Debt in the Middle Ages to Early Modern Period, that's just one day of panels. The weekend after that is a Classical Symposium focusing on mythology. My nerd cred is going to grow exponentially.

You'll get to sit at the head of the table in the cafeteria where all the other middle ages scholars sit.

I KNOW. With all of their epic moustaches, while we bitch about the latest version of the Chicago Manual of Style and reminisce about the old days of Turabian. All while sipping black coffee and giving dirty, if not sketchy looks to the undergrads that perceive all history professors are batshit.

You get bonus points if you make them recite Chaucer's The Miller's Tale out loud as a precondition for seating.

I'm reading the Decameron right now. My husband wants to know why I keep wincing.

Which one? The 4th on the 1st day? The young woman and the abbot? Yup. It's actually part of my required reading for tomorrow, since we're talking about secular opinions of the church.

TELL US HOW YOU REALLY FEEL, BOCCACCIO.

You'd almost think he felt there was corruption in the clergy.

Just a bit.

Just a bit.

He was pretty clever, though, in pointing at "bad apples", rather than the bushel.  Considering when and where he published.

I kinda of want to find a copy of the trippy Pasolini movie from the 70s.

Weird, because the teaser footage was pretty damn violent?

Yeah, I know.

But PG13 gets one F-bomb per movie, and gore?  You gotta raise little soldiers somehow.
