never watched, as shallow as it sounds i think the title put me off, guess im gonna have to give this a go?

Yea the title might sound abit of a cliché

But the film is really good. First time I watched it I was quite surprised. Was nothing like I thought it would be.

Watching it now, strangely.

Must see, simple as.

Interesting you say that - Spacey's character 'Lester Burnham' is an anagram of 'Humbert Learns'; an homage to the main character of Lolita, Humbert Humbert.

Yeah one of the girls who gets em out was only 16 or 17 when it was filmed.

So, hardly pedo ? I like 16 year old girls. Small non developed girls = peado. Not 16 yr olds with huge boobs

.

Pedophilia (or paedophilia) is a psychological disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a sexual preference for prepubescent children.

Which iirc, Thora Birch was not when it was filmed. I mean I think she was sexually mature...

Perhaps I'll feel different about it later, but now I'm 18 and I like 16-17 year old girls, as long as they're past their puberty in my eyes there's nothing wrong with finding a 16 year old attractive.

Exactly, as long as they are sexually mature I will never agree to someone saying someone's ''pedo''.

mame · 28 Dec 2009 at 11:12

I agree. Sam fox went on page 3 at 16! I was just pointing out what he meant

Fantastic film. Brilliant cast. :cool:

Sankari · 28 Dec 2009 at 15:00

This is the one about the gay guy, right?

Nimzicki · 28 Dec 2009 at 18:13

So, not in any way a paedo film at all then, what a stupid remark to make, that word is thrown around all too often in the wrong contexts.

Evangelion - that is a small part of the plot, yes.

Great film. Highly recommend you watching it

whitecrook · 28 Dec 2009 at 19:06

Worth watching, but not IMO an OMG great film. It's good, (excellent in fact), in all the ways that films can be good, but it's a bit boring tbh. Although I've seen it maybe 5 times, and I've got the DVD. Maybe cos I've already seen it a few times, it's now lost it's sheen. Maybe when you watch it 2 or 3 times, it's OMG awesome, but doesn't stand up to repeated veiwings?

Randomface74 · 28 Dec 2009 at 19:09

It's a pedo movie.

Mide life crisis + neighbour's daughter + gay guy. Fun for all the family.
