That do good foolish idiot actually gave that child back to that piece of trash mother. Very glad the girlfriend left him, the child was better off where she was. The movie ends with a good man in jail and a child’s life destroyed. Great movie with an infuriating ending. And there is no ethical conundrum here, I search for a good word to describe the mother but even calling her dirt is disrespectful to dirt. In the movie the sister-in-law calls the mothers friend a name, it perfectly describes both the friend and the mother.

This is a movie about a deranged psychopath, this is not anything like Falling Down. Anyone who watched Falling Down and understood it would not compare the two. Most of Falling Down you felt bad or sorry for the man, in this I spent the whole movie wanting someone to shoot the man in the face.

Hated this episode, Omar deserved a better death than the writers gave him.

This is appalling.
I’m not talking about the movie, I’m talking about the comments of the ignorant reactionaries who are totally dissing the movie, screaming about “pedos!” and claiming it’s “child porn” and how “disgusting” it was to be showing kids (near teens) dancing so very “seductively”—as part of a dance competition.

It’s especially dismaying when (except for lolyh who said she(?) watched a few short pieces (Did you really? How much?) no one has actually watched the damned thing!!

Are you ALL up in arms and ready to grab your torches and pitchforks BECAUSE OF A RUMOR!? And because of what you IMAGINE that might be there?

Y’know, sometimes, what’s in your fevered imaginations (and so, in your hearts) is a lot more obscene than what’s actually going on in reality.

I saw the post for this film when it 1st came out and passed it by, uninterested. But after all the rabidly hyperbolic posts attacking it I felt obligated. I just finished checking the movie out. The WHOLE thing, not just bits and pieces. I was not offended. Or titillated.

It certainly does NOT need or deserve a “May contain adult material” warning on it. In fact, I think the director aimed it specifically at the young audience as a learning and growth tool to help with coping with the modern pressures of being a teen and surviving jr. high.

This film could easily have passed as a modern version of those after school specials that used to be on mainstream TV.
I’ve seen considerably worse exhibitionism and lewdness from cheerleaders on jr. high school basketball courts and football fields.

If ANY ONE of those who posted those offensive comments had actually bothered to stifle their imagined outrage and to watch it, they would have seen an ok (but not great) coming of age story about a new kid from a different culture trying to fit in at her new school. It had a fairly decent “tough lessons are well taught lessons” type message at the end.
But of course you totally missed what could have been a valuable learning and growth experience, both for you and your kids. But especially for you.

And I will say this again as I have on other comment sections. THE Mods need to stop taking sides and keep this a comment on the movie/show only.
I come here to find out how the show is not to read lectures on the opinions of the right or the left!!! And not one comment here is anything but a right/left fight.

I made it up to part way through the 2nd ep. and skipped through the rest of it and the 3rd. I ain’t gonna watch 10 eps of poorly matched ‘professionals’ trudge their ways through each other’s hissy fits and pissing contests. Please, somebody post if anything worthwhile happens that’s not just more scifi-ized soap opera and drama queens. On the plus side, they didn’t skimp on their effects budget. 4/10

I really dislike the character of Vickie. No idea why they kept shoving her in our faces off and on throughout the series, and now again in the last show. Very good ending though.

Why would anyone want to take the cure????

They should never have Elena flirt, it is creepy, weird and makes you cringe every time. Not sure if it is the actress or the writing.

I want to know why these several hundred year old vampires like Rose and others do not have daylight rings. A spell that was easy for new witch Bonnie to do for Caroline was out of reach for every witch all these other vampires had to come in contact with throughout hundreds of years. Seems to be a very silly plot hole.

Come on Dawson you can do better, she is the most annoying character ever to be dreamed up. And I say annoying because I cannot use the words that really describe her.

So only positive reviews are ok? Heh. If you want to talk about loud and divisive just look at the subject matter of this “documentary”. I think this documentary is terrible, but I didnt trash anyone else here directly. I was called a bigot just for not liking this doc. Its funny you ignored that.

This is one of the best performances by an actor “Heath Ledger” I have ever seen. The only problems I have with this movie are Batman’s whisper voice and the women they chose for the Russian Ballet. But otherwise an excellent movie.
