Per the latest dispatch from the MPAA ratings board, Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest is officially “Rated R For sexual content, graphic nudity and language. Release Date: October 12, 2012.” And thus were dashed the hopes of families everywhere. Maybe the new Kevin James movie is an option that weekend? OK, never mind. [via @ropeofsilicon ]

I get just as tired of writing this crap up as you probably do reading about it, but for some reason it feels like the beginning of the end of Hollywood in a way: The MPAA ratings board is under assault again for determining the oral-sex sequence featured in Blue Valentine is worthy of at least some of the film’s NC-17, while letting the same act — by two women — slide in the R-rated Black Swan . Oh, and then there’s the kid with the knife.

In another era, Harvey Weinstein would have forcibly pulled a PG-13 from the backs of the MPAA ratings board members’ throats if he had to. Not so much today, when he and the makers of the documentary The Tillman Story saw its R-rating upheld for “excessive language.” So, for the record: F-bombs delivered either in a sexual context or one in which your own troops fatally shoot you? Automatic “R.” Are we clear? [ The Wrap ]

The MPAA today upheld its R rating for the Holocaust documentary A Film Unfinished — the same R rating that Beastie Boy and indie distributor Adam Yauch decried as “bullsh*t” ahead of this week’s appeal. The ratings board was not swayed by the citation of the PG-13 Holocaust doc The Last Days , which, like A Film Unfinished features “disturbing images of Holocaust atrocities including graphic nudity,” but which was also produced by Steven Spielberg, so you do the math. Alas. A Film Unfinished opens Aug. 18. [ Oscilloscope Laboratories ]
