...polemical documentary about the MPAA board, which charged that the ratings system had a bias toward films from the big studios and against indie movies. I wrote: "Dick takes a deposition from Matt Stone, who created South Park with Trey Parker. Stone says that when their indie comedy Orgazmo was slapped with an NC-17, they were given no hints in cutting the film to get a less proscriptive rating. Yet two years later, when Paramount was behind their movie South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, the board, according to Stone, offered explicit help in which scenes might be softened...
...that the ratings system has two chronic biases: toward films from the big studios and against indie movies; and toward violence and against sex. On the first count, Dick takes a deposition from Matt Stone, who created South Park with Trey Parker. Stone says that when their indie comedy Orgazmo was slapped with an NC-17, they were given no hints in cutting the film to get a less proscriptive rating. Yet two years later, when Paramount was behind their movie South Park: Bigger, Longer Uncut, the board, according to Stone, offered explicit help in which scenes might be softened...

Iggy Pop didn't have that kind...

Orgazmo, which was written before South Park, they say is funny if thought of as a guerrilla film to be shown at Sundance to annoy local Mormons. The Down syndrome tape, which was recently purchased by the BBC, is funny, they say, not because of the newscasters but because of the uncomfortable reactions people have when dealing with the disabled. And the dancing penises? It's just that they still think dancing penises are funny...
...Orgazmo, yet another scandalously juvenile Trey Parker flick, opens tonight. Let Trey molest your virgin eyes as the last action hero in a condom suit. Or not. It's NC-17, by the way. Sorry, cradle robbers, you'll have to leave high-schooly dates from Rindge and Latin at home. Kendall Square Cinema, 494-9800. $7.50 general...
