Nobody said anything about terrible violence :) However, I wouldn't want
things like you see in those kids' cartoons, where the whole screen is red
from the laser bolts, and all that gets hit is a robot, out of 100 enemies
walking into the hail of fire.

I don't want cleaned up versions of things, or "Parental advisory" stickers
on them -- I think they're just pathetic. I'd want an SR cartoon or movie
or whatever to be as the SR world is portrayed in the novels and
sourcebooks.
