With Lindsay and Britney gone wild, I hope Dakota is better off ten years from now.

Brooke Shields was in "Pretty Baby," not "Atlantic City." Minor detail...

Just what we need, a pedophile's dream.

are going to cause as big if not bigger uproar than when Brooke Shields played a pre-pubescent prostitute in Louis Malle's classic "Atlantic City." That was actually "Pretty Baby."

when Brooke Shields played a pre-pubescent prostitute in Louis Malle's classic "Atlantic City."Do journalists even do research any more so they don't sound like flipping morons?
Brooke Shields as a pre-pubescent prostitute was "Pretty Baby".

What's just wrong? Child rape or movies about unpleasant subjects? I agree with the former but not the latter.

Don't expect the media to get things right. Even with www.imdb.com a click away.
Editors don't use fact checkers anymore.

Regardless of the controversy surronding this film, Dakota Fanning is a brilliant actress. Truly a prodigy.

I'm really trying to think about art here. What's it for? I can understand a novel about a rape of a pre-pubescent or just scarcely pubescent girl, I'm wondering about a movie. And it depends on what scenes are filemd and shown. I can barely imagine an artful portrayal of a rape, but it's hard for me to imagine that I would be in anyway edified by an "artful" portrayal of the rape of a child. And it sounds like that's what they're offering here.

And I thought Brooke Shields was the baby hooker in "Pretty Baby," not Susan Saran Wrap's Atlantic City.
Get me rewrite!!

Well any aspect of the human experience is fair game. Not having seen this I couldn't tell you whether it's in good taste (whatever that would mean in this case). Someone like Hitchcock was known for artful ellipsis in depicting various depravities but when he finally got free of the old Production Code he produced one of the most explicit rape scenes ever put on film at the time (Frenzy).

Both films were made by Louis Malle a couple of years apart that wa probably Friedman's mistaken train of thought.

It's unclear whether the Presley estate will approve the licensing of the ultimate pop idol's voice as the film's backdrop, or even if the writers of the song "Hound Dog" Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller won't do something to keep their famous composition out of it. If the songwriters are made aware of the controversy, I'd be very surprised if they allow a sync license to be issued.
