To generalize, the europeans I know would be less obsessed with sexual content (which is what the MPAA focuses on and removes) and more disturbed by the violence. The right approach, IMO. The fact is United shouldn't be showing a PG-13 movie to a G audience (which is what you get when you show it on cabin wide screens. It's just that simple. If it's on individual screens with a choice to shut it off, that's a different matter.
