Thanks to Daniel Robert Epstein for interviewing Mr.Perkins.

It was a very good book and I hope that the movie will enlight others to take action.

I really enjoyed reading Confessions of an Economic Hitman, I just hope Mr. Perkins isn't the next name on the Jackal's list of people to do.

i loved 'put the o' n while i haven't heard this whole cd yet, i'm looking forward to it. also looking forward to picking up his momma's new cd...

. o O (hmmm, the dukes of hazzard song at my wedding...that is so white trashy my boy will crackthe hell up if i slip that in! hahaha)

I agree totally. Jenings is a cool breeze in this "Cuntry" climate.

I recently got his album Girlfriend and I imagine I'll be getting the rest of his discography pretty soon. Nobody writes songs like his anymore.

i love her.

don't really care about RV, but Curb is still great

I'm completely in love with this lady.....<swoon>....


Also, I'm pretty sure that I mostly hate Robin Williams.

i have really liked Weitz's movies so far.. I hope American Dreamz is as good ...

i think she did great in the movie, and she had the role down to a T

Nick is the man, I'm so glad that he exists and does what he does.

whatever, I don't even consider X punk or important. she's delusional.

really great interview! great flow, great content. totally interesting read. liked especially her thoughts on the artistic process. so matter of fact and generous and cool. she seemed a little cynical about sg. i would say that this site is a valuable means of expression for many of the women who take part. she seems to lump it in with the general porno population, very (perhaps) unfairly. anyway, inspiring and thought provoking. thanks man.

I have been called a very scary girl for loving both 'Hard Candy' and Takashi Miike's 'Audition'. It just might be true, but an interesting point is when DRE said --what was it-- that Ellen Page comes across as something akin to exceptionally capable --and please forgive me for not having the wording the way I should-- and then at other times she is like a scared little mouse. I seriously believe this to be the entire point of responsibility in the film. A 14 year-old no matter what at the end of the day is still a child. Children are in the process of growing up. There will be times when these very young people will be incredibly adult like and times when they are flexing a prowess that is beyond their years. But to interfere with their process of becoming by intrusion, manipulation and otherwise predatory adult relations and behaviors is wrong in the absolute.

You can tell yourself it's okay to have sex with a 13 year-old girl though you are a 50 year-old man because she isn't a virgin, but nothing diminishes the fact that you are having sex on a child. That at some point she looks like the 13 year-old she is, doesn't mean you were lured in and are now being punished for being attracted. It just means, she is 13.

It's that kind of richness I thought Ellen Page brought to the role and very much why I loved the movie. I personally feel I was more adult when I was 15 years old than I am right this very moment. I was secure and confident, and like Slade said, everything was so very Black & White. To this day I am infinitely grateful to every teacher, friend of the family, "uncle", et al that said to me "If you were 10 years older..." but never put a hand on me. What's kind of weird to me is that I should consider myself lucky and need to be grateful at all.

Hey does anybody remember OK SODA? I loved his can art!

Charles Burns is a personal favorite of mine. I've been very influenced by his art and point of view. I love the way he takes the cheery, "Leave it to Beaver"-ish paradigm and twists it like taffy. Black Hole is wonderful, but his real gems (in my humble opinion) are the "Skin Deep" and "Big Baby" collections. "Skin Deep" is AMAZING and "Burn Again" (included in Skin Deep) is one of the wildest, most original critiques of organized religion and spiritual torment ever. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys very, very dark humor.

I love them. Even if this movie isn't half as good as Super Troopers or Club Dread, it'll still be awesome (imo).
