Apparently they’re getting quite good at the appeal process.”

Unfortunately, they’re still not very good at the “getting people to pay to see their movies in the theater” process.

Like Sean mentioned, “This Film Is Not Yet Rated” does a great job of showing how the context is judged by the MPAA, and how arbitrary they can be. It’s on Neflix streaming, but be warned: there’s a whole lotta fuck scenes in it!

I thought they were judging the content, not the context.
