"L.I.E.," an NC-17 film released in theaters last week has been getting rave reviews from film critics and homosexuals. The film just won two awards at the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Film Festival (also known as the "Outfest"): The Grand Jury Award for OUTstanding American Narrative Feature and tied for the Grand Jury Award for OUTstanding Actor, giving the award to Paul Franklin Dano, the young boy who is pursued by a middle-aged child molester.
Michael Cuesta is the director of the film and wrote the screenplay with Stephen Ryder and his brother Gerald Cuesta. The film was produced by Lot 47 Films in association with Alter Ego/Belladonna. (Belladonna provides production services for European commercial, music video, and TV production companies. They have done work for AT&T and American Express, plus music videos for groups like N'Sync, and KRS-One.) Lot 47 Films co-owner Jeff Lipsky helped distribute "Lolita" when he was with the Samuel Goldwyn Company.
"L.I.E.," which stands for Long Island Expressway, tells a sympathetic story of Howie, a 15-year-old boy who is pursued by Big John Harrigan, a former Marine and child molester. Harrigan is played by British actor Brian Cox.
Film critic Rex Reed, writing in "The New York Observer," says, ".Resist all temptations to avoid this exceptional film because of its subject matter (pedophilia) and see 'L.I.E.' fast. Trust me on this. You will experience one of the most profoundly moving motion pictures this year."
"Guide" magazine, a mainstream homosexual publication has criticized the Motional Picture Association of America (MPAA) for giving this film an NC-17 rating. A "Guide" editorialist noted that "'L.I.E.' is being muzzled because it suggests that the relationship between an adult man and a teenage boy, a relationship first sparked by sexual interest but never consummated, need not be monstrous."
"Guide" continues: "That a boylover might have an interest in a boy that transcends sex, that he might act responsibly, that he might provide the love missing in an adolescent's life, that he might be something other than the predatory monster everywhere else depicted-these are the ideas that so offend the MPAA." ("Guide" magazine employs as its feature editor Bill Andriette, the former editor of the North American Man-Boy Love Association [NAMBLA] Bulletin.)
One of "L.I.E's" screenwriters is Stephen Ryder, who teaches writing at New York University. Ryder was recently asked in an Internet interview how he managed to make the child molester character so charming. He replied, "That was my plan [laughter]-My evil plan." Ryder then explains that he considers the relationship between Big John and Howie to be "consensual" and that men like Big John are "just regular ordinary non-felonious people."
Big John is the most likable character in the movie. He is both cultured and patriotic. Howie's father is a womanizer who ignores the boy. Howie's best friend is a sociopathic male prostitute and another friend is having an incestuous relationship with his sister. Howie and his friends spent their leisure time robbing houses and discussing sex acts. Big John comes along and "helps" Howie when his life falls apart.
"L.I.E." is an infomercial for NAMBLA, and homosexuals and "sophisticated" film critics are applauding it. This film will undoubtedly give encouragement to homosexual child molesters who will readily identify with Big John Harrigan as he pursues his sexual prey. By mainstreaming pedophilia through films like "Lolita" and "L.I.E." Lot 47 Films owners are helping to contribute to our culture's rising levels of child abuse and molestation.
The director, screenwriters, actors, and the production company all share the guilt for producing a film that portrays pedophilia in a sympathetic light. This effort is also being aided and abetted by homosexual film groups and by mainstream homosexual magazines that obviously favor the sexual seduction of boys.
Step-by-step, homosexual activists are softening up public opinion on the issue of adult/child sex, which is euphemistically referred to in their publications as "intergenerational intimacy." We are unaware of any mainstream homosexual group condemning this film. Will PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) condemn this? Will GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network) teachers and parents condemn it?
When will the homosexual/pedophile assault against children stop? It will only stop when the public becomes outraged enough to put an end to homosexual recruitment programs in our public schools and when our legislators have the courage to say "No!" to the homosexual agenda. When will this happen? That is up to you.
Oak Hay, I'm disturbed and puzzled about how a small bunch of contrary to nature freaks can destroy our whole civilization !!! These unsavory and unclean creatures delight in ramming their urine exhaust pipes into the rectal relief tubes of young boys (and of each other) !!! They brag and crow loudly about their filthy behavior !!! They demand access to our young and innocent children, so they can commit sodomy and oral sex acts upon them !!! Then they scream and holler "Homophobe"... when we seek to save our children from their filthy and immoral activities !!! WHY IS THIS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE IN THIS ONCE-FREE REPUBLIC ??? DO WE NOT HAVE THE RIGHT AND MORAL DUTY TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM SLIME LIKE THIS ???
This crap just 3 days from the Corps birthday? Chesty is gonna come back and whip some screenwritin' ass!
Grand Jury?
Interesting name for the Awards Committee.
And not the last time these freaks will be before one, methinks....
When are conservatives and Republicans going to demand George W. Bush and Republican party STOP catering to homosexual activists and pandering to a homosexual agenda?
These people are mentally disturbed. It is not normal. It is not right.
There are, of course, more hetero pedophiliacs. Or did you forget?
There are, of course, more hetero pedophiliacs. Or did you forget?
And your point is? The two statements are not mutually exclusive.
There are, of course, more hetero pedophiliacs. Or did you forget?
Considering that homosexuals comprise just 2% of the population, why do you find that surprising?
The real issue is that homosexuals are overrepresented in the numbers, comprising some 30% of pedophiles while their victims comprise some 70% of the total!
Plus, read it all again, who exactly is cheering this film? That's right, the homosexuals. They are the ones who want to normalize pedophilia just as they are cementing the normalization of their own perversion.
Sorry, but your lame observation has been repeated by virtually every pro-homo cheerleader who's ever (dis)graced this forum. It doesn't wash!
Lest we forget, it was far back as '72 that a number of uh, "diverse," McGovernite CA. delegates were pushing for lowering the age of consent.
