FUCK JACK VALENTI AND THE MPAA

[toothbeaver]

The real issue about the MPAA is their stranglehold on the studios. They have to "sign off" basically or the film has to be released independently so say goodbye to any sort of marketing or screenings in multiple theaters. It's really hard for film makers to please these old fogies and get a hard hitting flick into mainstream movie theaters. But you're right, the average person thinks it's just a rating. It's a death sentence if they dont like your message.

[asskakakaka]

the esrb is a secret ratings board, right?

[EagleOnTheRhine]

I dont know why Michael Tucker was angry with the MPAA. So they rated it R. Ok, anyone can still see it, they just have to be accompianed by a +17 yr. old to see in theaters, and with a tape or DVD, anyone can see it whenever. They didnt censor anything, just rated it. ok, get over it.

30+ uses of "fuck"? What did michael tucker expect? This isn't fucking france.

[crackmunkay]

seriously? you would rather a 11 year old see someones head get fucking chopped off then hear the word FUCK??? a word they hear everyday??? really?

[e5154]

I don't have kids, but most of the people I know that do would not want them to hear the word "fuck" or see someone beheaded.

When Tucker submitted that film, I don't know why he expected a PG-13 rating. It does not matter what the context was, what matters is that the film contains 30+ uses of "fuck."

o.o; sell a birthday cake with the Mouse, earn 5 years in prison... >.o remind me not to go into the baking industry.

[abba149]

R means its a good movie

[i2aymond]

What does NC-17 mean?

[abba149]

Real: Not Correct for 17 years of age

Fake: Now open for crazy Fun Viewers

[SuperDuperSentinel]

MPAA does suck but did this guy with the Iraq film really expect a PG-13? If the film has a lot of profanity then it gets an R but who cares, a film like that has demographics that appeal to adults...I just feel there are films that have gotten unfair ratings and that movie wasn't necessarily the best example

[seangamble2]

It's time that we the people get a say in our media.. anyone wnaan lobby congress to shut down the mpaa. I doubt it would work but.

[rammsteinrules4ever]

fuck the MPAA

[Havenscope]

Very powerful video.

[SwollenEyeAgent]

why did you blure the pictures?

[HatTricksInc]

I know, it's ironic, but I didn't want the video to get flagged or removed.

Thought it was worth making it so most people would see the majority of it, rather than none at all.

[SwollenEyeAgent]

It is a really funny irony. In order to show a disussion on censorship you must censor? Freaky.

[Tiwaking]

So the MPAA doesnt protect the interests of the public and it doesnt project or support a realistic view of life, it protects its own interests and the interests of those who fund it/keep it in power?

Thankfully I live in New Zealand!

[TheCheetahwings]

@HatTricksInc you dont get flagged for violence only nudity and too sexual
