“Gunner Palace” Continued.

Posted by Eric at 9:37 am. Filed under: General

Reader James, has pointed me to the fact that National Association of Theatre Owners president John Fithian and former MPAA president Jack Valenti issued a comment Wednesday on the PG-13 rating of Gunner Palace:

According to the MPAA and NATO, the groups decided to issue the additional statement to proactively warn parents of the film’s content because its rating does not reflect the usual guidelines set forth by the ratings system. Both groups made clear that they are neither criticizing the film’s distributor nor superseding the judgment of the ratings or appeals boards.

“The content of this picture deviates so far from any previous PG-13-rated film that we believed it was important to give America’s parents more information about the picture,” Fithian said. “The language in the picture exceeds that contained in any PG-13-rated film in history. It’s important for parents to understand that before making decisions about their children’s moviegoing.”
