I watched this movie over the last couple of nights.
I am not a movie reviewer so cut me some slack.
I thought it was really good.
Joaquin Phoenix stars as a damaged veteran (but who of us who gives a shiite isn't damaged).
I was warned that it was a gratuitously violent movie. It wasn't.
It reminded me of the Comet Pizza thing of child molestation by those in power.
I thought this movie was powerfully acted and the plot was spot on about what those evil ones in power do to satiate their hunger and thirst by sexually devouring our young.
Check out Tony Podesta's art collection...
These fockers need to go down.
The Phoenix kids were groomed at a young age
Joaquin Phoenix Opens Up About His Childhood in Religious Cult Children of God
By Esther Lee November 12, 2014

...The actor’s parents joined the controversial cult in the 1970s and took Joaquin and his siblings — the late River Phoenix, Rain, Liberty, and Summer — to travel through Central and South America with the group. Eventually, his parents ended up becoming disillusioned with Children of God (now The Family International), which has since been accused of sexual misconduct by former followers...
...These friends were like, ‘Oh, we believe in Jesus as well.’ I think my parents thought they’d found a community that shared their ideals. Cults rarely advertise themselves as such. It’s usually someone saying, ‘We’re like-minded people. This is a community,’ but I think the moment my parents realized there was something more to it, they got out.”...

The late actor River Phoenix, who grew up in the Children of God, told Details Magazine in 1991 that he was four when he first had sex while in the group.
Ugly stuff.
I saw it. Brutal flick.
They are evil.
Rose McGowan was in that group later. Joaquin says he wasn’t harmed but it contradicts River Phoenix’s account.
Rose was in it later than the Phoenixes.
Reviews on IMDB either love it or hate it. No middle ground.
Trailer clips went too fast for me. I couldn’t understand what was happening.
She was gorgeous but from a poor Calif family. She got famous and her parents could buy a house in Big Bear, later in Lakeside.
The execs LOVED her, esp after Poltergeist. They dressed her up in a pedo bikini on a stage. With the floodlights on her, a bunch of them sitting in the dark of the theater went all Pee Wee Herman in the darkness --this was their secret hobby.
You know what I'm talking about.
Later the real big-wheels took her into a back room to do some stuff to her. Apparently they'd been doing that stuff to her for years.
They stuck something up her as$, causing intenstinal stenosis.
Her parents thought she was simply sick, but then her toes started turning blue.
They rushed her to the hospital, her pupils becoming fixed in the ambulance.
She died.
Hollywood f*cked this beautiful child to death.
Complete BS. The following is accurate according to those who knew her:
O’Rourke became ill with giardiasis in early 1987 and was later diagnosed as having Crohn’s disease. She was prescribed a steroid to treat the disease during the time she was filming Poltergeist III.[18] On January 31, 1988, she began vomiting. The next morning she collapsed; she suffered cardiac arrest en route to the hospital and died later that day after surgery to repair an acute bowel obstruction caused by congenital stenosis of the intestine[19] complicated by septic shock.[4][20] She was entombed at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery

I watched the movie and had about the same opinion of it.
What kind of demented, evil freak would paint that?
What kind of demented, evil freak would buy that and hang it on his wall?
Saddest story. And no one in hollywood will admit it.
I still nearly retch when I see everyone deferring to Spielberg as if he is some great person.
If I remember the story correctly, it was assumed her repeated bouts of stomach cramps was an irritable colon from stress.
The intestines twist on and off, cutting off the circulation. Usually they unwrap themselves spontaneously or from an enemy, but if they get badly twisted, you go into septic shock and die within hours from a gangrenous gut.
However, there is a similar problem in adults due to high fiber diet or severe constipation.
Would be nice to the perps killed in the most inhumane way possible — legally of course.
That’s actually one of the less offensive bits of “art”...
I fear that there are so many politicians, executives, and celebrities who exploit children that no justice will ever be permitted by TPTB.
God may act, but I do not think our DOJ/FBI ever will - not on the ringleaders.
Is the whole movie online, somewhere?
