I just found a memo from Matt Stone, co-creator of South Park, regarding the MPAA's suggested cuts to the South Park Movie. First off, this was a hysterical memo but secondly it directly shows the double standard of the MPAA and big industry movies. When an independent film like Kirby Dick's This Film is Not Yet Rated, the MPAA gave no notes on how to bring it down to an R rating. I just really liked this memo for it's professionalism regarding the hilariously crude subject matter.
Here is the Actual Memo
That was a fairly amusing memo! I especially liked the "PS. This is my favorite memo ever". It really does show the double standard, I can't believe they got so specific about what to change and yet independent films get nothing. So unfair!
ReplyDeleteI just looked at the memo and it is pretty hilarious. I can't beleive they would make them change what the point of the movie is(crude humor). If you are going to rate a movie R rated then you should be able to say whatever the hell you want since its suppose to be for an adult audience anyway. The MPAA is full of it and they are big time control freaks who want to control what we choose to expose ourselves to. I don't understand why the U.S. still backs the MPAA ratings when they are clearly unjust.
