THIS FILM IS NOT YET RATED.
A very enlightening movie. But more proof that everything is in some way, in some proportion, corrupt. I don't think I'll be able to take an MPAA rating seriously after watching this documentary. Or maybe I shouldn't take the director seriously, especially with a name like Kirby Dick. AHAHAH. Actually, I found myself agreeing with and relating to a lot of what the man was saying.
Oh. And am I the only person alive who hasn't heard of the NC-17 rating? Apparently The Dreamers (my movie recommendation to anybody if ever I had one) had this rating due to the explicit sexual scenes. Veeery interesting.
I learned that female orgasms in a movie that last more then a few seconds tend to earn that movie a NC-17 rating.
I learned that if there's a scene of anyone going down on anyone else (especially guy-on-guy or girl-on-girl) then they get an NC-17 rating.
I learned that the MPAA is more secretive than the CIA (which is saying something about the CIA).
I learned that Joan Craves, or Joan Graves, or whatever her name is (the "president" of the MPAA rating "board"), is a narrowminded fool and shouldn't be let near movies.
I learned that the independent films tend to have a harder time with the MPAA board, because the board is made up of the big-wigs from all the leading studios.
How sad. Especially since independent and foreign movies are THE BEST. Yet, the MPAA seems to give them more NC-17 ratings (which incidentally means its harder for the filmmaker to distribute the movie) for minor things like pubic hair. But, as long as you're making a big-name studio movie, you can show the whole damn crotch. Heh?
Veeeery interesting, indeed.
