"Nothing Is Private" is written and directed by Alan Ball, the man behind "Six Feet Under" and "American Beauty." But it's caused outrage here for its graphic depiction of sexual, mental and physical child abuse that verges quite literally on kiddie porn.

The movie -- so odious that many people have simply walked out during the screenings -- shows actor Aaron Eckhart having sex with a 13-year-old girl played by a now 19-year-old actress, Summer Bishil. The actress only turned 19 recently, however, which means that she was just on the cusp of 18 when she made the movie last year.

A MUST READ!
I really loved this book! I did not want to put it down! The writing is great, so was the details. Some of the writing took me off guard, the words used. It took a bit of getting use to. Once you get pass some of the graphic details that is suppose to be going on in a thirteen year old girls mind, you just really enjoy it. I loved the realness in the characters thoughts and language. Despite some of the seriousness in the book, there was quite a few laugh out louds! I would recommend this book to anyone open minded. I even passed the book to my mother to read(she's 53) and she loved it too. The author does an excellent job at going into the mind of a thirteen year old, and convincing you that is her age!

If you go to the Barnes and Noble website you will find similar rave reviews from readers of "Towelhead", the book this film was based on. Seems to be we have more of the conservative overreaction crap here that's based on their phony moral values rather than on reality.

Why anyone from FOX news tries to take the "high ground of self-righteous family values" in this matter and don't have the courage to look at their own mendacity in Iraq. Sex with underage kids is wrong but supporting thousands to die for a lie that Fox supports on a daily basis makes them the last place to go for truth and justice, even in movie reviews. Everything is tainted with Jabba Ailes and stinks to high heaven just like him.

the real life perversion is in washington today as bush's shills continue to sell the needless killing of our kids.

more, more, we want more is the battle cry from people like U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) who apologizes to the messingers of war and death for having to actually appear before the citizens and explain billions of wasted taxpayer dollars and 3800 dead kids and 28,000 wounded kids.

While there's a break in the action, let's wait for liberals to catch their breath and regroup.

Having made no point--except proving my own--they now pause to see what else they can say to prove themselves guardians of the perverse.

Now let's go back to the action to watch more inanities:

What have you proved? That conservatives that hang round liberal message are narrow minded hypocrites?

"His character initially takes the girl"s virginity by fondling her, in a very graphic scene that leaves nothing to the imagination"

oh, for a second there, i thought this was taken from a deposition at oreilly's sexual harrassment lawsuit.

The book, so odious that many God-fearing people have burned it before even reading it, opens with a shameless hussy flaunting her adulterous sin in two visible ways, with the child it begat, and with the eponymous Scarlet Letter "A."

"I was incensed by it," said Marcus Tanner of Charleston. "And I forbade both my family and the two slaves I have who can read to read it."

Give me a break.
This film is not due to be released until Jan 2008. There is no trailer available to watch. It has established actors that are not known to be either political or perverse (Eckhert, Collette, Bello.....) though they are known to push cultural mores, they are not porn stars.
More important this link is from FoxNews. That alone should have been a major clue that this information is NOT verifiable, truthful or anything but titilation for titilation fools (eg O'Reilly, Hannity, Horowitz)
I don't know the truth about this film, but the truth is neither do you.
Are you really willing to become the tabloid of the left? Then get some really good stuff about the Right, neocons, GOP Congressmen.....

Grow up, people. Does anybody actually believe that this movie is going to be "explicit" or "near-porn", kiddie or otherwise? Apparently it's been rated R, which means it will be less explicit than what a lot of kids can see on premium cable any night of the week. And Summer Bishil was already 18 when her scenes were shot. People who have seen it (I haven't) say it's a great movie, and of course all the controversy will be great for ticket sales, so maybe it's the film's publicists that are planting these items...

jedevich had it right. This is a film. There was no kiddie porn, and she was no minor. The only difference between this and Lolita is very likely the graphic depictions of the sex.

Seen the movie "Kids?" Teen sex has been there, done that.

In some states, an adult appearing as a child in a sexual situation counts as kiddie porn.
The example that was used was a picture in which someone in their 40's, in a diaper, with stuffed animals in a sexual situation is kiddie porn.

It seemed ridiculous to me. But if this is truly the case, I wonder how they will get around it?

That would have to be either below the Mason-Dixon line, or maybe in corn country....

Republicans prefer their perversity mixed with hypocrisy. It's very bitter cocktail, but they enjoy drinking it nonetheless.
