In my enthusiasm yesterday writing about This Film Is Not Yet Rated, I completely forgot to mention the petition. It’s on the film’s website, and it’s a petition for the MPAA not to do away with its rating system or eevn remove itself from the process, but simply to make some fundamental and important chances that would guarantee more fairness and transparency. (You can read all the specific issues and their suggested solutions on the site.)
Again, I encourage everyone to see the movie, and not just because it’s important but rather simply because it’s so enjoyable. Still, afterwards — or right now — go “sign” the petition. It only takes a minute.
(Thanks to Rachel who reminded me about it.)
