Kirby Dick has fired a massive cannonball in the war against censorship. It's called This Film Is Not Yet Rated, and it came into being when the Oscar nominated documentary filmmaker decided to call the Motion Picture Association of America out on their bullshit lies. He hired a private investigator to determine who the MPAA ratings and appeals boards are actually composed of. It turns out that almost nothing the MPAA has said about their members is true.

The MPAA Greatest Hits timeline is interesting. We owe it all to Jack!
And there are more reasons to despise the RIAA- .i mean MPAA for just ratings.

After reading this interview last night, I went and saw the 7:30 showing at the Nuart in LA. The movie is awesome, full of very interesting information as well as funny as hell. I also got to meet Kirby Dick and talk to him a bit which was only slightly fucking sweet.

Go see this movie.

Hey Kirby, try making movies in China, y'know, where censorship actually exists. The MPAA ratings process is voluntary. The only reason one would have their movie rated is to increase their chances to get it into a theatre, so that they can make more money, which, of course, it what art's all about, right?

why would he make movies in china? he lives in America.

See you are commenting on something you dont know about. one of the points of the film and something that is pretty obvious is that MPAA may be voluntary but you cant get an unrated film into most theatres and certainly cant get any ads for it.

It's not really voluntary if you have to submit to the process in order to have your movie play on any non-arthouse screen.
