Side question--what's the deal with everyone using the pound signs at the beginning of their thread titles?

It doesn't promote pedophilia, it's just really really creepy.


Gah.

Best Thread Title. Ever

Side question--what's the deal with everyone using the pound signs at the beginning of their thread titles?

I blame OcceanDrive, he started it. Though I always thought it was annoying.

probably the best advertisement the makers could wish.

A Catholic group is coming out agianst a movie where creepy child actress Dakota Fanning is violently raped. It seems showing a violent rape of a kid constitutes promoting pedophilia. Just like showing Jesus whipped and nailed to lumber constitutes promoting deicide, right?

Luporum NOT opposed to raping Dakota Fanning.

When commented, the poster had this to say:

"She tried to ruin one of my favorite movies, Man on Fire, and being raped is a pretty lenient punishment in my opinion."

It was a joke, I don't actually want her to get raped. Holy step son of Joesph you guys are anal.

Mainly to piss off OceanDrive2. He did to to make his thread stand out. Now the rest of us do it so his threads can't get any more attention than any others.

The OP is the seventh post?? :eek:

A sure sign of the apocalypse! Run away!!

OcceanDrive2 starting doing it with his threads, then DCD starting doing too, it to annoy him, then a few other people jumped on the bandwagon.

Frankly, it's just not funny anymore. It makes it harder to tell threads apart.

It doesn't promote pedophilia, it's just really really creepy.


Gah.

But what parents could possibly let a director say to their child, "Now, in this scene, there's a guy violently raping you. You need to scream like you're being sexually violated for the first time, with some guy ripping you apart."?

And no, it doesn't promote pedophilia, as I'm sure it's cast in a bad light, but then Trainspotting cast heroin use in a bad light, but idiots didn't get it, and heroin use spiked (no pun intended) after its release.

Actually it's the sixth post where it becomes the apocolypse.

When the OP is the seventh post only one of the four horsemen appear: Troll

so, do you guys think a movie (or in fact lets say a TV show) that shows a rape (or eludes to one) glorifies rape? (assuming it’s all adults involved)
No. Of course not.

It’s the same with video game violence, or any other non cuddly-wuddly fiction that is opposed by reactionary groups. I worry about these people who complain.

Can they not tell the difference between fiction and reality? Or depiction and glorification?

Wow. The last thing I wanted to do after reading/watching Trainspotting was go near any skag.

, I don't really care.

No, all it does is show a rape.

I try to ignore the time warp most of the time, but even I have to say that that's ridiculous.

Why can't Jolt just set their clocks right? It can't be that hard...

Forums(1) and forums2 are now five minutes apart.

So just wait five minutes if the OP in a thread was made at a time later than your clock displays, and you'll be fine.

and if a certain depiction of rape was glorifying it, would that be a reason to ban it?

(and how exactly would one manage to glorify rape?)

Without having seen it, I'll have to say that I doubt it in any way glorifies rape. Though it sounds disturbing enough to make me think that this is a movie I'll avoid - at least not see at the cinema.

Kinda like the movie Irréversible (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0290673/). That did not glorify or promote rape!

Pfft! It's a movie! People just need to get over it. Rape happens in real life. Why get all upset over it just because it was put into a movie? It promotes nothing.

so, do you guys think a movie (or in fact lets say a TV show) that shows a rape (or eludes to one) glorifies rape? (assuming it's all adults involved)

No. Showing a crime doesn't promote the crime. If it did then we'd have to ban damn near every movie out there for promoting assault or murder or something.

Or The Accused. Still, though, what kind of parents expose their 12-year-old daughter to something like that?

You realize that in England it's called a "Hash" sign.

Ones paying for their new boat with her money?

it would probably not be something I would want to see, but to ban fictional representations of things......it's just not something I am going to be out there fighting for.

I often wonder the same thing when watching "The Exorcist"

so, do you guys think a movie (or in fact lets say a TV show) that shows a rape (or eludes to one) glorifies rape? (assuming it's all adults involved)

Only if immediately afterwards the rapist is showered with confetee and prizes, the 'arresting officer' actually says that all women are just asking for it, what with their walkin' around and such, and even hands over two burlap sacks of money with dollar signs on them and the rapist is thrown a victory parade and congratulations from the President of the USA and Secretary General of the United Nations ending with the rapist giving a thumbs up to the screen saying, "You should totally try this, kids!" then, yeah-that glorifies rape.

But seeing as it is usually depicted as the most debased thing you can do and horribly damaging to the victim and their family, not so much.

The kind who wants to make lots and lots of money?

First and foremost, Dakota Fanning's parents need to be bludgeoned.

Seconded.

With a hard, not-so-blunt object.

I'm not religious at all, but I still find it disgusting. First and foremost, Dakota Fanning's parents need to be bludgeoned.

Do the parents of every child actor who is asked to play the emotion in a scene in which something really scary or awful is happening deserve to be bludgeoned?

I agree..These are actors and know that what they are doing isn't real. And the parents of said actors also know this. Would I object to my daughter playing the role of Henny Penny because she gets eaten? I think not.

She didn't even have to act like she was being raped. She had to shout and look frightened in extreme close ups, and then clever editing makes it look like she's being raped. She probably never even had to have some guy on top of her.

Why can't you find a better title you perverted sick troll.

No, she didn't - at least according to those involved in making the film. There was no point at which a rape scene was acted out. The child actors in Jurassic Park probably suffered more trauma than Dakota Fanning did making this movie - they actually had a robotic T-Rex truly bearing down on them.

This movie will probably be more traumatic for some of us to watch than it was for Miss Fanning to make.

I blame OcceanDriveof course you do
and I fully expect you to.. :fluffle:

Side question--what's the deal with everyone using the pound signs at the beginning of their thread titles?

dunno, they look like hash's to me: #, not £

I guess the creepiest part of it is this:

Fanning's mother Joy was present during filming.

Well, that and Dakota Fanning sounds like a robot from Tom Cruise's Scientology-otory.

So it's softcore.

I don't find that to be creepy. In fact, I think it demonstrates that her mother was looking out for her - making sure that the directors didn't put her in a harmful situation.

Eh, she's probably running out of things that she can be called a celebrity for when her only real talent is screaming at the top of her lungs.

I hate her....

Why can't you find a better title you perverted sick troll.

Are you kidding me? That's a great title.

1) It's true. Catholics in general are against raping Dakota Fanning.
2) It's relevant to the thread topic. Catholics are protesting a movie where Dakota's character gets raped.
3) It catches people's attention.

Also I'm offended that you've called me a sick, perverted troll. It may be true, but you don't have to say it like it's a bad thing.

Yeah, that's the answer I would put if I was writing an essay. In the meantime, I find it creepy.

Ever hear Fanning interviewed? She talks like she's posessed by the unquiet spirit of some jaded over the hill Hollywood leading lady. That's creepy.

This whole thread is creepy.

Grapes $1.99/#

that's one dollar ninety-nine cents per pound.

Once again, I disagree with the catholic church.

What I was surprised at is no one said it before me.

i think thats still pretty sick even if it is a movie. I know several rape victims, some from my family and some being my friends. i don't agree with it and i probably wont be watching it at all but it is their movie and if her and her parents think its ok then i guess it dosen't matter what i or anybody else thinks. i still think its disgusting but hey, what can you do.

GGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

+1

an imaginary bludgeoning,but they deserve it.

totally exploiting the kid,whats next for the poor kid..a snuff film?

it's not like she does not have enough money(or her parents off her work) that she needs to do this.
and i dont buy the artistic/loved the script..it resonated with me bull crap.
she's to young,no matter how talented or intelligent...to grasp the implications of this "art"
and her parents don't have the right to engage her in this art because they are all intelligent or loved the script.

they more then likely,saw big dollars and said sure!

great parental skills...jerks.

i may be wrong,and i am posting without first seeing the movie,so i could be wrong,but my gut reaction is that it is wrong.

not addressing the "promoting rape" debate,it is just a movie afterall..just questioning her parents motive to sexualise their daughter,and not in a normal sense of sexualise.

i liked her in man on fire..and in war of the worlds(though all she did was scream)but she was never sexualised as far as i know.
not that i have issues with that,just in this context do i dislike it.

Think of the confusion in the UK if it was the other way around, and you were told the cost of something was 20 Hash?
