Becouse of my age.......I can buy or watch any movie at any time!The MPAA rating system is for the protection of CHILDREN!It's not perfect,but it's better than nothing.

Yeah, I remember how many times customers at the video store would bitch at us for letting them rent things for their kids that were inappropriate. I always wondered why they thought it was my job...

As I've said before, the problem with it is that it's arbitrary, based on the whims of the current review board. It's the old Supreme Court argument of "I know porn when I see it". The system is worthless without consistent standards. It results in movies being watered down to meet the random standards of a system that no one enforces. The MPAA is utterly pointless.

Without it we would have government censorship which would be 10 times worse...

True, I just want an actual system of regs in place for the MPAA so it becomes more consistent. Course, my luck, any rules they put in would make it more strict...

And it would be tougher for them to change which means we probably wouldn't have seen Grindhouse, Devil's Rejects, or the Saw movies without an NC-17 rating which would destroy their box office numbers and prevent other envelope pushing films from seeing wide releases and making any money. Their "hard R" concept even seems pretty good...

No, what I'm grumbling about is the lack of consistency... filmmakers are required to meet standards that have a lot of gray areas, then are forced to cut their work to fit the current interpretation. |
