-Can't speak to them about any problems you have
-They can't always come up with a reason for their rating
-Rated by average parents, and not a professional critic
-Ironic that the rating system is trying to protect children, by acting childish about why they rate certain films
-Studios wont release their films if the ratings are too high
-Positives get from MPAA quotes
Kimberly Pierce
'Boys Don't Cry'
NC-17
"The studio wont release it"
Matt Stone
'Orgazmo'
"Didn't receive any notes"
'South Park'-(Paramount)
"Cut this, this...treatment was a completely different experience"
Kevin Smith
Director
"If you choose not to except the rating, you cant market it"
Ex MPAA Raters
-Jay Landers
"Each member of the MPAA must sign a confidentiality agreement"
"They leave the writing 'fuzzy' so that they can sue an ex-employee"
-By censoring you they are taking away their ability of having a choice.
The MPAA have an ideology. They don't like things that make them uncomfortable, and they don't want anyone else to see it.
-A lot more temperamental about films with sexual content rather than violence
Jamie Babbit
'But I'm a Cheerleader'
If she wanted an R rating, she had to cut out the sex scene between two girls, the MPAA are quite homophobic
Joan Graves
Only rater known to the public
Joanne Yatabe
Her children are between 20-23
The MPAA say the eaters children are between the age of 5-17.
The MPAA are liars
A film was still cut because they said they "don't object to a 'better R' "
The system is corrupt and bias as they came to a decision on a rating, an the film was still cut.
No homosexuals are on the rating board
The board wanted to change America phsyco to an NC-17 because they didn't like the tone of the film.
MPAA is different to BBFC, because the BBFC are more open about sex than violence.
The Matrix is blamed for the 'name of the massacre' massacre, people said that they did it because of what they herd from one of the characters.
Jack Valenti said he wants ordinary people on his rating board, none who have children with behavioural issues.
MPAA are bowed to pressure rather that making ratings that are suitable for certain ages to watch.
They don't know about their own statistics
Some film makers feel that the MPAA hold a grudge
You can appeal your rating but you cannot use another film to defend yourself
They don't like to be challenged about their ratings
The raters were quite old and their children weren't in the 5-17 age range, one of the raters had no children?
They know people with power and they can get away with things.
The appeals board have most of the major cinema chains that will show your films.
They have priests on the appeals board.
