OK, back from lunch. MY, what a mess I’ve made. I should be ashamed of myself for believing others’ reports. You tell me there were no homosexual inferences in “Last Temptation”? Well then, I guess I have to believe you, then, don’t I? Oh, wait - you’ll tell me I’m ignorant if I believe you...

NOW - answer my question you so conveniently ignored:

“How about if I call a child pornograher who rapes children a “pervert”? Do I have to watch him do it to decide?”

I didn't call you ignorant, though you're obviously uninformed about a movie you call "vile garbage".

I ignored your question because it's a poor attempt at an analogy, but if it helps you, I'll play along. Feel free to call whoever you like whatever you like. Just make sure you know what you're talking about. It's a bad idea for a variety of reasons to falsely accuse an innocent person of such things based on unreliable sources and hearsay, which is what you apparently use to learn about movies.

What staggering hypocrisy is being exhibited on this thread.

On one hand, we’re being castigated for taking the word of he reviewers and author about the content of the movie yet the same people who are doing the criticism seem to expect us to take THEM at THEIR word about what the movies, plays, and books are really about.

And we should believe them over someone else because....?????
