AND in Disney, so who knows what changes will be brought to the table.

If it helps, imagine a wrestling match between Michael Eisner and Harvey Weinstein. Now imagine one between Eisner and Stan Lee. (and yes, I'm aware that none of them <em class="bbcode-em">technically</em> run their respective empires anymore.)

The demographic downloads films for free instead of watching thema t the cinema and buys DVDs of the ones that get good reviews in small independent shops a couple of eyars later, imported (if possible) from Japan, or some other place that's suitably non-mainstream. Even so, Disney never stopped Miramax using violence and sex, and if anything it encouraged them to use it more. Yeah well, people don’t pay enough to see stylish violence.

I really want to read the first book I listed to see just how it slid into irrelevance, after wielding such power over an entire medium for decades. Of course, now that Disney owns Marvel, maybe the Code will be revived.
