Comments on: MPAA Spanks Kevin Smith’s ‘Porno’ with an NC-17 Rating http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/mpaa-fights-to-get-kevin-smiths-porno-an-nc-17-rating.php A Website About Movies Mon, 13 Feb 2012 20:06:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Billy http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/mpaa-fights-to-get-kevin-smiths-porno-an-nc-17-rating.php/comment-page-1#comment-102544 Billy Thu, 24 Jul 2008 09:47:56 +0000 http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/?p=8794#comment-102544 That doc certainly put pressure on the MPAA, and since its release they have changed virtually everything that Kirby Dick criticized them about, all except this attitude to sex being more adult than violence. Here in the UK our BBFC is pretty much the other way round. 'Wanted', for example, was rated '18'. The biggest problem with the US rating system isn't so much the MPAA anymore I don't think, but just the NC-17 stigma. If NC-17's didn't bomb so badly at the box office, films like this wouldn't have to fight the ratings in the first place.
