Head, meet sand

MovieGuide.org rates my friend Scott's movie, Mysterious Skin, "ABHORRENT: Intentional blasphemy, evil, gross immorality, falsehood, evil worldviews, and/or destructive, horrendous worldview problems."

They raise concerns about "sick homosexual pedophilia and homosexual prostitution" (I assume that the hetrosexual versions of those crimes are OK with the folks at MovieGuide).

My Mum taught me to just say to myself, "It's only a movie, it's only a movie" ... what's happening up on the screen is not real.

Oh, and the point is that this stuff is bad and really screws kids up ... unfortunately, sometimes you have to be blunt about this kind of thing, even if it seems obvious.

Then again, I haven't seen the movie yet, maybe it is abhorrent. How could it be worse than any of the Star Wars movies, though?
