In regards to BLUE VALENTINE and THE KING'S SPEECH...

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

"Remember what the MPAA says: horrific, deplorable violence is okay, as long as people don't say any naughty words!"- South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut

The MPAA is an outdated and misguided organization.

"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

Violence is not a big deal. But for God's sake, don't show a penis or two men kissing.

Don't show a penis...unless it's been bitten off by a piranha.

Good. I loved This Film Not Yet Rated, but it's about time there was higher profile action taken against the MPAA.

Someone there made an interesting point in saying he should just release them unrated. With these two films, I doubt it would have any impact on where they play an the audience hey would bring in. But I am glad he wants to fight these morons.

I believe it's because many of the major cinema chains (Regal, Loews, etc.) won't release a movie without an MPAA rating. It's supposed to be voluntary, but the way the industry works these days, they definitely force your hand.

Ryan Gosling Tees Off on ‘Misogynistic’ MPAA

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter
