"Sexuality/partial nudity" caught my attention when the Motion Picture Association of America on Wednesday released the rating for November's highly-anticipated "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1."

The full MPAA rating of PG-13 says the newest edition in this series features "disturbing images, violence, sexuality/partial nudity and some thematic elements."

I can still remember parents who scolded me for not informing them before loading up their little ones for the multiplex of the scene in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" in which a delusional Ron believes he sees a partially nude coupling of Harry and Hermione. That movie was rated PG-13 also, with a note for that scene that the MPAA dubbed as "brief sensuality."

So be warned, mom and dad (and all the rest of you who weren't aware that kids as young as five or six show up on opening weekend for "Twilight" movies): "sexuality/partial nudity" probably comes in at that point after Bella and Edward get married and before a birth occurs, if you know what I mean.

The adults know what I mean, and that's good enough.

Of course, the next question becomes: real, or stunt bottom? It can be very hard to tell with today's technology, not that I'm looking that intensely. Really, I'm not.
