Source Information/MLA Citation: Doherty, Thomas. "SEX, VIOLENCE, AND ADULT THEMES: The MPAA and the Birth of the Film Ratings System." Cineaste. 01 Oct. 2017 eLibrary. Web. 25 Sep. 2017
Quotes/Information I Might Include:
1. “...1934, American cinema had been rigorously censored...by the Production Code Administration (PCA), the in-house agency of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (after 1945, the Motion Picture Association of America [MPAA])...was the brainchild of founding president Will H. Hays, who tasked the PCA with enforcing...a deeply Catholic code of conduct written in 1930 by Father Daniel A. Lord, a Jesuit priest, and Martin J. Quigley, a devout Catholic layman and publisher of the influential trade weekly Motion Picture Herald. Hays appointed Joseph I. Breen, a bullheaded, not-to-be-messed-with Irish Catholic, to make sure the studios kept faith with the Code's catechism... Breen’s Office-awarded a Code seal to studio product, an imprimatur testifying to its purity of character.”
2. “By 1967, a cultural and legal consensus was emerging: adults could watch most anything they wanted without government blinders; the eyes of children, however, had no right to see what their parents did not want them to see. The next year, the Supreme Court made it official, striking down local and state ordinances regulating film content, while permitting restrictions on the attendance of children. With the highest court in the land putting the government out of the censorship business, Hollywood had no reason to take up the slack.”
3. “In June 1968, studio executives huddled in New York to plot the death of the old regime. On August 9, 1968, after weeks of acrimonious meetings, the MPAA Board voted unanimously to junk the Code and adopt a new system of film classification.The name of the Production Code Administration was changed to the Motion Picture Code and Rating Administration. No longer a cleaning house but a clearing house, the new agency would be tasked with wedging films into four categories: G, for general audience patronage; P for "parental discretion;" R for restricted; and a final barthe-door category, X. The last category- wherein teenagers under a certain age would be totally blocked from seeing the X'd-out film-generated some heated debate.”
4. “... the grading would be done on a curve-and without a central document to guide it. In place of a purity seal, the MPPA now attached a warning label.”

Source Information/MLA Citation:Afra, Kia. "PG-13, Ratings Creep, and the Legacy of Screen Violence: The MPAA Responds to the FTC's "Marketing Violent Entertainment to Children" (2000-2009)." Cinema Journal (2016) eLibrary. Web. 25 Sep. 2017.
Quotes/Information I Might Include:
1. “...highlights the problem inherent in using the MPAA's own designations as evidence of violent content in rated films. It also reveals the difficulties that hinder a year-by-year comparison of MPAA ratings and the films they are attached to, for the basic reason that ratings are shown to be a somewhat arbitrary gauge of violence in any given film. ...quantifying violence is a highly subjective and unscientific endeavor. Even if standard criteria are established among three independent coders who view and analyze the films, determining "magnitude" and "explicitness" levels cannot be ascertained without narrative and thematic context.”
2. “The domestic box-office ascendancy of PG-13 thus correlates with the R-rated blockbuster's simultaneous decline...R-rated films fell below a 25 percent market share of the annual top-twenty box office, a fall from which they have not yet recovered. As PG-13 is an unrestricted rating that does not enforce parental accompaniment, this rating ensures the widest possible accessibility while maintaining public credibility.”
