[quote name="Mischief Maker"]I was going off a gut feeling when I called that Academy Award-winning "American Beauty" pedophile apologia years ago, but goddamn the things that have been coming to the surface about Hollywood these last couple years. First <A HREF="https://youtu.be/izr3Jsjee0s?t=48m25s">Barry Crimmins explained the creepy message of the movie "Powder"</A> and the underlying question of why Disney greenlit a movie directed by a CONVICTED child molester. Then I see things like this: [youtube id=qTTmIeD5XBA] And I gotta wonder, did the screenwriter know that giving American Pie the moral that pedophilia made Lester a better person would make some certain executive (or executives) more receptive to the picture? Is that what turned it into Oscar-bait? Because like I say again and again in the review, that movie is as ham-handed as any fox sitcom from the 90s in its humor and delivery, I can't imagine it winning any awards on its intrinsic quality, <A HREF="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0169547/awards">let alone THIS many</A>! I mean, shit, if you were hell-bent on giving awards to a movie with an anti-consumerism message that year, give it to Fight Club![/quote]
