[Mr.Badguy]

How could a movie about tiny oranges be considered lewd?

Are their navels exposed?

What's the plan? Drive around town like Elliot Rodgers and take'em out of action?

You have laws and enforce the laws.

You have laws and enforce the laws.

So you agree with arresting people for pot. That's fine. It's the law just like tax evasion, perjury and abuse of office.

But its absolutely fine for LGBTQ parades along public streets with their rubber penises and flimsy dress and sado mas dog collars - all in front of children and some including children. Try humping a uniformed cop down your local town centre and see what happens to you??? Apparently this is perfectly OK on gay parade day.

Ever been in NYC on St. Patty's Day?

A lot worse happens, and it's tolerated - up to a point.

Should parents teach any sort of values, or establish any boundaries whatsoever?

Yes.

Do you think you have a right to dictate those values and boundaries whatever they may be? Is so, where do you draw the line?

 

[War=Peace]

No. There's nothign to get excited about which is why I think all the people who are complaining about it 1) haven't seen the fucking movie and 2) just making useless noise because their friends are making noise. You know, like when one dog starts barking, all the dogs start barking. They don't have to know why.

The same noise was made about Martin Scorsese's "The Last Temptation of Christ". A beautiful movie which was protested by RWNJ "Christians" claiming it was blasphemy to show Jesus as a normal man with a wife and child.

This isn't the first time fucking assholes tried to dictate to Americans what they can watch and what they should think. There is nothing in "Cuties" that is sexually suggestive or involves pedophilia. It might as well be a Cheerleading video like the one below...and only slightly more boring.

If you think "Cuties" is too much to handle, then you certainly don't want to watch this either because it's about the same...except it's in the US and they are speaking English, not French or Senegalese:

The movie in question sounds pretty lame, and was clearly marketed in an effort to exploit what it pretends to criticize, but...

Attacking it in particular strikes me as ludicrous and wrongheaded.

You mention Last Temptation, and I'm reminded of The Passion.

Many regarded the latter as a violent and repugnant snuff film.

But they didn't seek to have it hidden from public view.

Artists gotta artist, and whether it kids or Christ or elephant dung, they're going to use the raw materials they're going to use.

I'll take art - including art I don't like/have no use for - over no art any day.

As soon as you two latent homosexuals are done with your fantasies, please consider the difference between consensual and non-consensual sex.

Doesn’t every parent fondly and proudly remember their 10-year-old daughters first twerk?

Ha!

But have you seen film of jitterbuggers in the 40s?

This is an old complaint.

 

[reagansghost]

I couldn't even watch the entire trailer, looks pretty creepy

Not so clearly. How can you criticize dog fighting in a movie without being accused of exploiting dog fighting? The fact remains we probably wouldn't even be talking about the topic of oversexualizing children if the movie hadn't been made.

Those that are most against the movie are also well known to be staunchly authoritarian and dictatorial.

 

[War=Peace]

Should parents teach any sort of values, or establish any boundaries whatsoever?

Yes, and children will often rebel against these.

It's called life.

Legion for the thread win.

^^^Spectacular woooooooosh.^^^

But you can't distinguish me from Legion, so you're easily confused.

I thought you were Legion. Aren't you? Matt denies he's Wolverine despite both of them both being gone for exactly two weeks to the day.
Some people just aren't very smart and Legion is one of them. I could name a few others.

Crystal clearly; they could have marketed it VERY differently. Easily. People talk about it all the time - parents anyway; we're just all helping make money for the movie & Netflix by publicizing it.

Conservatives can be rigid/vigilant for sure; sometimes that's good, and sometimes it isn't.

Okay Legion.

Legion uses WAY more words. No. Wolverine - isn't he Canadian with big claws?

Legion strikes me as one of the smartest people here, as do you - I guess your locking horns was inevitable. You could give it a rest.

 

[War=Peace]

Okay Legion.

Oh I get it - YOU are Legion posting under a different account name.

You figure that accusing other posters of being Legion will put them off the scent.

Well played, Legion.

Also, it's a convenient out when someone crushes your silly argument - just lob a moronic/baseless/trolling/derailing personal attack that's actually a compliment.

Both are senior members of the Asshat Legion, so don't worry about them.

Legion has intelligence but lacks about 20 years of maturity. He's exactly the late 20s/early 30s middle class male who would walk into a building wearing a vest.
