Final project

Here is a series of (fake) letters that I sent for my (not really) movie Fast Times at Richmond High to the MPAA for rating.

Mr. Fritz

The MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) has reviewed your submission of Fast Times at Richmond High and have given your motion picture a rating of NC-17. If you feel this rating isn't suitable or desired you may resubmit your movie for another rating review. Thank you for choosing the MPAA for your motion picture rating needs.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Thanks for the letter. I'm not exactly sure why the movie got an NC-17. I'm assuming it's because of the nude scene that takes place during the dream sequence. Since you don't really tell us what exactly we need to change, I'll assume this is it and censor it. Most theaters in the United States won't show NC-17 movies, so not changing it is financial suicide. I never expected this, so our budget wasn't prepared for this kind of post-production work, so I had to make due... I will be resubmitting the movie.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I guess the amount of implied sexuality is the cause for the rating? Again, you don't give us any stipulations or reasons why. There are countless other movies I could site that have more than this movie's nudity that at least get “R” ratings. We have censored the nudity all together and she keeps the top of her swimsuit on. I will be resubmitting the movie.

Dear Sir or Madam,

So you just hate women? As you can see we have added an inter tube and snorkel to Phoebe. Honestly I'm doing this just to see where the line is drawn.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Really?? Ok, Phoebe is now in a Tuxedo.
