MPAA

I just watched a film about the how unjust the MPAA rating system is on fucking Netflix. Some of my "heroes" were on there to talk about how "unfair" the mpaa is. How they "ban" pubic hair in "gay" movies because it's too "emotionally powerful" or how they always ban a "women's pleasure" like all these women filmmakers who say if a woman's orgasm is too long they make it NC17 because a woman is experiencing too much pleasure. Bullshit. Shut up. Why on earth would you give a shit if some imaginary MPAA makes your film NC17? Because you lose out on money. That's it. That's the big fucking tragedy. And I know this to be true. We had a legendary filmmaker Ivan Dixon come to talk to our class in college one day. He made the low budget film "The Spook Who Sat by the Door." It's essentially about black power and black empowerment. It's a great film, no doubt. But here's the problem. It has the same fucking ending as Watermelon Man, a movie that made millions and A Spook Who Sat by the Door made nothing. So the director came and gave a talk in our class. Throughout his whole life he was harrassed by the FBI and american government because he made a powerful film. So already I respect him. And I liked his film, and I appreciate the difficulties in which he had to make it. But then at the end of his speech he tries to sell me his movie on VHS for 20 bucks. No problem. But then he is offended when no one in the class lines up to buy his film. All these mother fuckers complaining about the mpaa were upset because a room full of white people were keeping them from money and they made a whole film about it. Fuck man, if you want to make a film about lesbian pubes, do it, but dont get pissed off when you can't make money from it. Films were made from the beginning of time to show and entertain the ones you love. The first films that made it to theaters were films from the Lumiere brothers. what did they shoot? their fucking kids sitting in cribs. If you make a movie in order to make money then you are entering the white man's arena. From the dawn of time, white men have wanted money and success. That's why white men conquered the new world. They wanted to get boats and get out in the world and steal shit while indians were content for thousands of years just being where they were. So if you are out to make money in this world, guess what, you are in bed with white dudes. And I don't want to hear you complain about the games they put you through. If you want to make a powerful film, make one. Fuck ratings. The only thing ratings equals is money. Make films for the ones you love. Thats the truest form of filmmaking. Fuck white people, dont play their games. Dont pretend to be pissed off on principal when really you are pissed off because Aladdin is making more money then you. If its a money game you are trying to win you lose. You will always lose. Fuck money, its just as imaginary as the white control and white approval you so desperetly seek. Marting Luther King wasn't assisanatied because he stood for black rights. He wasnt killed until the whole world abandoned him. He started talking about poverty and how poverty and classses were the route of all evil and everyone turned their back on him. He went to the poor camps in washington and SNCC and other organizations including his closest advisors told him "No Martin, stick with the race thing, poverty is too great a challenge" read his book, Im not bullshitting to make a point like white people do all the time. It's true man. He went out on his own, out all alone, and thats what these bullshit filmmakers need to do. Stop whining that the MPAA is keeping you from millions, stop tallking about them. Fuck them. So what. Be a fucking man, Make a great film. My friend Adam makes films all the time that I think are some of the greatest cinema Ive seen. Im not trying to make money, Im not trying to spread my ideas to the masses, Im trying to make better movies then my friend.
