If you haven’t hear by now, the movie Hounddog has a scenes that depicts Dakota Fanning (all of 12 years old) in rape and sexual abuse situations. From what I’ve heard there is not actual depictions of said rapes or abuse, just some intercut scenes to imply such has happened. My hat’s off to Dakota for taking such a role (as the star no less) knowing what controversy will arise from the movie. Now given that the abuse is central to the story of her character, there is not much you can do to get around the implied scenes. That is not the real news however. The real bone headed news is summed up by the title of a StarNewsOnline.com article….Republican: Scripts need reviewing. Yeah, like we really need some (derogatory name not used because I can’t find one stupid enough) to read all the movie scripts (only in North Carolina at this point) and judge if they are suitable enough to be filmed. Yes, I am aware the legislator wants to limit it to those that apply for tax discounts for filming in NC, but that just screams censorship.

“Sorry, but you can’t get the tax refund for your film depicting the rape of the African-American community because it has bad language in it and it paints the North Carolina government in a bad way, but we’ll approve the one made by the KKK.”

Yes, I know that is a bit of an extreme example, but hasn’t that kind of censorship happened before in this country?

And I seem to remember watching a movie where a werewolf was raping a woman… isn’t that bestiality. No one ever raise concerns about that.

No, they don’t write ‘em like that anymore. Tell ‘m about it Greg (Kihn). But then you might think I’m crazy… to hang around with you. Of course, you think you’re in the movies and everything’s so deep. I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea, I can feel St. Elmo’s Fire burnin’ in me, burnin’ in me.

Now if we can just get Major Tom home again!

Oh hell! Let’s do the Curly Shuffle!

Can you tell I’m listening to 80’s music?
