Okay, he stacked the deck by including clips from NC-17 films, but it's still a delicious irony.
This Film Is Not Yet Rated is an IFC Films documentary that goes behind the shadowy world of the MPAA's vaunted (and infamous) ratings system. (You know, the one that seems to freak out anytime any kind of indie movie comes near, but who rolls over and plays "rub my belly" for the crapulent product that oozes forth from the great studios?)
Filmmaker Kirby Dick was nominated for an Oscar(TM) this year for Twist of Faith.
As quoted by Reuters, the filmmaker's reaction:
"We encountered what many indie filmmakers encounter," he said. "There are a great many inequities and inconsistencies in the rating system, in part because it is so secret. The ratings board is reluctant to be specific, which can be maddening."The film will premiere at Sundance.
Say it with me in your best Mr. Burns, now, kids....
