Default Adam Yauch Spoke on his Film's Rating Today!

And he is pissed!!!!!!!!!!!

Beastie Boy Calls Bullshit on MPAA Rating

Beastie Boy Adam Yauch today called “bullshit” an MPAA’s decision to rate the Holocaust documentary “A Film Unfinished” with an ‘R’ for “disturbing images of holocaust atrocities including graphic nudity.” Yauch’s Oscilloscope Laboratories is releasing the film in North America. The distribution company plans to appeal the MPAA decision for the film, which had its U.S. premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
“This is too important of a historical document to ban from classrooms,” said Adam Yauch in a press release. “While there’s no doubt that Holocaust atrocities are displayed, if teachers feel their students are ready to understand what happened, it’s essential that young people are given the opportunity to see this film. Why deny them the chance to learn about this critical part of our human history? I understand that the MPAA wants to protect children’s eyes from things that are too overwhelming, but they’ve really gone too far this time. It’s bullshit.”
Oscilloscope has set the appeal with the MPAA for Thursday, August 5th.

what this film needs is public discussion. Adam's unothodox display of anger in public may have an effect in doing so. if you're interested in helping this film reach students, talk it up live and online. if the MPAA won't relent, it's up to those who identify with the cause to shape public opinion ahead of its availability to schools.



Oxtail, rice and peas, and ginger beer.

Um, how do you know it's not warranted? Even Spielberg couldn't shake the R for Schindler's List.

I obviously haven't seen Adam's movie, but even if it gets an R, there are such things as permission slips. It's not that big of a deal.



Has anyone in this family ever even seen a chicken?
