Toby and I finally sat down and watched our rented dvd of Bully last night. I was worried as I do not like to watch violent shit, I tend to hide behind someone or cover my face with my hands. In more recent times, l just stopped watching it period. But last night, even though I hated the film Kids, (for reasons outside of holy cow look what that 15 year old, zitty kid just did with his dick shock-value tactic) I watched Bully. It was (at best) an x-rated After School Special, heavy on the pedophilia. I was not shocked or put off by the violence. It wasn’t horrible. It wasn’t amazing. It didn’t make me angry or upset or mad or sad. I watched and sipped water. I waited until the end. It could have been done in about 1 hour on 20/20 or A Dateline Exclusive (45 minutes if you count the commercial breaks). Only then we wouldn’t have been able to watch a young girl poor red wax all over her bare-chested, man-lover who may have (I’m not sure) had bigger breasts than she. I did wonder, however, why was the Marty’s sentence was death and the other active stabbers and beaters were just given life?

I think I read about Bully on your site, dear. I was worried it might make me hide. But alas, it did not. You seemed to like it, right?

I did like it. The fact that it was a true story sort of freaked me out. I thought it vividly captured the utter stupidity of some people. It feels like almost every person in that movie got what they deserved.
I just thought all the sex scenes were a bit unnecessary. God, I’m an old lady.

Freakgirl, I absolutely agree about the sex scenes. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I have nothing against renting oneself a porn from time to time if horny oneself need fix might as well go for the gold. Why clutter a movie with sex when it’s not necessary to the plot? Who knows. I rent foreign films for that… the ones with the words at the bottom of the screen? Those.

It wasn’t just the sex, it was the fact that those kids were (or looked) SO YOUNG. I felt dirty, like I was watching someone’s secret fetish or something. Seems like Larry Clark likes him the little kids.

I agree.
Freakish, freakgirl. It is. That one girl gets around. I have seen her before, do you know where? The leader girl.

She played a virgin on Sex and the city.
Ok then. I need something else to annoy me now.

Is that who she was? She looked familiar to me too, but when I looked her up I didn’t really recognize anything.
