This Film Is Not Yet Rated

Got it from Netflix, terrific documentary on the rating system and how crazy it is.
Like if you light up a cigarette = automatic pg-13...or if it shows a penis close up for over a certain amount of time = automatic nc-17...proper use of the f-word and n-word etc.
I suggest it.

yeah...
I would love for that to be my job though. Get paid to watch new release movies all day Monday - Thurday and live in million dollar homes. They must get paid real good.

A fricking great movie, my brother in-law who is in the filming industry never heard of it. He watched and said his fricking eyes were now open to all the Hilter mannerisms from the ratings people.
I never thought that those women were going to pull off the undercover work.

Saw this at South x Southwest Film Festival a few years ago and met the filmmaker, Kirby Dick. He's a pretty cool guy. His latest film is "Outrage" about closeted gay politicians who promote anti-gay legislation.

I watched this documentary on IFC last year, and I thought it was entertaining. I thought the best parts of the film were when Dick interviewed directors who had to give in to the ratings board in order to get an R rating, like the director of Boys Don't Cry.
I never realized that so many petty things, like whether a sex scene is filmed above or below the pelvic area could determine a film's rating.

Great, great documentary/investigation. Everyone in the film industry is thrilled that documentary was made to show the hypocrisy behind the ratings system.
