The porn industry is trying to go mainstream? Who knew?

I like how this bitch "believes" stuff rather than "know" it.

It will be glorious day when Concerned Women stop annoying the rest of us with their unasked-for concern.

Someone needs to slip some Buspar in their coffee.

Go Charles! \m/

“I doubt that either one of these films deals with the reality of the subject, which would include all of the harms to the individual and to society,” LaRue says.

So she hasn't seen them. I'm not surprised because these types never see what they boycott and protest, but that still makes my blood boil.

It probably wouldn't matter if they did actually see these films. They've made up their minds and would see only what they already think.

folks, can't you see? she's just, like, "concerned" with defending the "prestige" and "legitimacy" of a "well-known event" like Sundance. we should be thanking her for, um, her very genuine and well-intentioned concern.

Does "American society as a whole will [...] pay the price" mean these movies will be showing at a theater near me soon? What are we talking about here, nine bucks? I can live with that.

If you're going to bitch about a movie, at least watch it first. Holy shit what a biatch.

Charles, you lucky bastard! If CWA condemned me in a press release, I would send it to all my friends and family with tremendous pride. You've really made it.

We're going down a slippery slope, eh? Well, it's better than a slippery chute, which, if perforated, can KILL you.

What is the point of making a movie about child rape (unless it's kiddie porn), if it doesn't deal "with the reality of the subject" including "the harms to the individual and to society." It's this head-in-the-sand mentality toward sexual abuse that perpetuates the problem and shames the victims. Fuck right wingers.

The only part that pisses me off here is her complaining about the "humanization of its subculture subjects." A person isn't a legitimate human being if he also happens to have an abnormal fetish? Maybe we should start some concentration camps to send all the paraphiliacs off to?

The joke is on her. "Zoo" has been getting great reviews, "Hounddog" terrible ones. Guess which film is less graphic than the other? (I haven't seen either, but I did interview Devor last fall & can't wait to see "Zoo.")
