Film School Rejects: MPAA Spanks Kevin Smith’s ‘Porno’ with an NC-17 Rating

J Macgon · 1 year ago

"This Film Is Not Yet Rated."
Mathieu Lalonde · 1 year ago

Yeah, check out the excellent doc â€œThis Film Is Not Yet Ratedâ€ !!!
Billy · 1 year ago

That doc certainly put pressure on the MPAA, and since its release they have changed virtually everything that Kirby Dick criticized them about, all except this attitude to sex being more adult than violence. Here in the UK our BBFC is pretty much the other way round. 'Wanted', for example, was rated '18'.

The biggest problem with the US rating system isn't so much the MPAA anymore I don't think, but just the NC-17 stigma. If NC-17's didn't bomb so badly at the box office, films like this wouldn't have to fight the ratings in the first place.
