“This Film Is Not Yet Rated is rated (oh the irony!) at least fairly highly by the critics. Now’s Deirdre Swain asks, however ‘Aside from being a nifty coup, what does revealing the raters themselves accomplish?’ Which reminds us of The Golden Globes: Hollywood’s Dirty Little Secret, the documentary that reveals the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to be a bunch of star-obsessed nobodies. The answer to Deirdre’s question? Well, probably not much, but it’s good to know, don’t you think?”

I particularly wanted to mention The Golden Globes: Hollywood’s Dirty Little Secret in this post because the Golden Globes was on recently, and when you know how weird the Hollywood Foreign Press Association are, the fact that stars always thank them specifically in their acceptance speeches seems incredibly creepy. There’s only about 90 of them, they all write for completely inane, meaningless publications, and they demand that each individual member gets a photo with the stars on their lavish, freebie-filled junkets. Weirdos.

I guess (and so early in my career!) I’ve just made sure that I’ll never join their ranks. Thank goodness.
