MPAA Gives Film About Ratings an NC-17 Rating

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the defining-irony dept.

jtcm writes "An original documentary by Kirby Dick, called "This Film is Not Yet Rated" has been assigned an NC-17 rating by the MPAA. The film explores the MPAA's own film rating system and "its profound effect on American culture." The NC-17 rating was given due to "some graphic sexual content" and will likely limit the movie's distribution, as many theater chains will not show NC-17 movies. Among the filmmakers speaking openly in the movie are two of my personal favorites, Kevin Smith and Matt Stone. For those who are eager to view this exposé, fear not. The Independent Film Channel (IFC) will present the film uncensored and uninterrupted."

    If they won't show NC-17 movies because of worries, then the terrorists have already won.

    Plus, the X is kind of a bad symbol to have as a marketing tool.

    Yeah, the Xbox, generation-X, X-men, X-games, are all marketing disasters.
