This Film is Not Yet Rated

[Soubrette]

Has anyone seen this documentary?

We just watched it Friday evening, and it was really interesting and funny.

It investigates the MPAA ratings system in Hollywood, revealing its biases toward the studios and against independent films and questioning why sexuality gets stricter ratings than violence. But the best part is the director hiring a private investigator to find out who the raters are (the whole process is done in secret).

I understand the need for a ratings system, but I do agree that the process shouldn't be done in secret since it effects the lives of so many Americans.

Anyway, it's really a fantastic film, if you like documentaries.

Is it out on DVD? I'd like to rent that.

Yep. I got it from Netflix...I don't think they'll have it at Blockbuster.

I think they're getting more silly with all the additional things they believe people should be aware of. So exactly what does "disturbing scenes" mean? I can understand sex or sexual isn't that hard to recognize but come on, what I think it disturbing may not be to others. And visa versa.
