I think Michael Jackson pretty much is.

[micho]

That's because Michael has turned into a scarey freak!

[Borges]

He's going to be 50 next year!

[micho]

I'm not talking about his age. I'm talking about his botched face lifts and nose that is falling off all the time! There are good-looking 50yrs olds ya know.

Michael is not one of them.

[Borges]

Oh I know. Just commenting on how he set out to be every young and now looks like the Undead.

"There is no point that I can find to the child’s rape."

Sheer gratuitous child pornography.

The DVD will find its way into the libraries of thousands of perverts. The same disgusting middle-aged men who have the entire Shirley Temple repertoire on their shelf.

[micho]

I think Robert Redford should be held accountable for this perverted film and calling it 'art'?

[Palladin]

Did Redford get first dibs on the girl, Fanning? He looks like a rotted old pervert these days.

The Fanning girl's mother is a pimp.

[Palladin]

Jeanine Pirro has sold her soul to the devil. She used to be an ardent crusader agasinst child sexual abuse.

[Borges]

She still is. She merely said that what's on film here doesn't meet the criteria. Any more then a child being killed in a movie is child murder.

A long time ago, there was a movie called "Pretty Baby". Its plot line centered around some photographer (or artist) that fell in love with a 9 year old girl, played by a VERY YOUNG Brooke Shields. The movie was set in New Orleans, circa 1900.

I watched the flick when I was 12 - 14 on HBO and remember it creeping me out even then.

Hollywood has made plenty o' garbage in the last 90+ years. But, could you image the outrage that a movie made about the "love story" between Muhammed and the 9 year old he married? -- a true story, BTW. Riots everywhere if some one dared depict the truth about the Pedophile Prophet (pi$$ be upon his name).

[Borges]

Brooke Shields got fired from her modeling company for participating in 'Pretty Baby' which was a pretty dull film. That director Louis Malle had previously made a film about an underage boy having sex with his mother (Murmur of the Heart) which was quite good.

[television is just wrong]

it was. I read it somewhere else.

old pervert in his old age.

[Continental Soldier]

The Sundance Festival, always second rate, has become cinema's alternate universe where foul and filthy are now insightful and sensitive. Only in a society that has lost the courage of it's convictions could Redford's freak show draw any serious attention.

I remember the hue and cry about it, tho' I was quite young when it came out.

Never saw it.

[L,TOWM]

tho' I was quite young when it came out.

I think I am about 5-10 years further into my old fa___age than you are.

Never saw it.

You did not miss much. Dull, vaguely creepy flick.

Good Job!

Since I am one of the few who’ve actually seen it, let me explain something important. There is no point that I can find to the child’s rape.

Reminds me of the Jim Webb, the Democrat congressman who wrote a fictional novel in which a father puts his son's penis in his mouth and the event is reportedly never referenced again in the book or condemned.

Poor Dakota. She’s going to be ten times more messed up than Brittany and Lindsey.
