Ratings

Killshot recommends the docu This Film Is Not Yet Rated.
Based on the trailer, it seems odd to me... Hollywood is a multi-billion-dollar business, and yet nobody knows who the actual people are who decides what can be released and what can't? Sounds odd. It would seem that quite often one of the massively rich people with colossal egos who own and run the studios would blow their stack at such over oppression, and try to do something about it, or at least find out who they are.

I actually just saw this documentary for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It's very interesting, and the investigation does a good job of showing that the ratings board not only goes too far to mask its members' identities, but that the reviewers themselves do not even meet the official, publicized criteria for membership. It's worth watching.

Steven: "It's worth watching."

Me: And kinda sad in a very scary way.

Maybe they think they do, but...

Also, if they were really enlightened, they would see through the illusion, and lose interest in control and money.
