This Film is Not Yet Rated: See it!



When we went to see Who Killed the Electric Car? the other night, we saw a number of good movie trailers, and this one stood out. The movie's called This Film is Not Yet Rated, and it deals with the Motion Picture Association of America, and how this somewhat mysterious organization rates movies across America with its controversial ratings system.

More accurately, it deals with how a few select people are imposing their morality on the rest of the country. And that just about always fucking pisses me off. And here, I separate from my traditionally Democratic Party roots - the MPAA was headed for years by Jack Valenti, a special assistant to President Johnson. When Valenti resigned in 2004, he was replaced by Dan Glickman, agriculture secretary under President Clinton.

Anyway, the movie should be an interesting one. As usual, I'll bring you a review after I see it.
