I've seen Natural Born Killers, JFK, F 9/11, Birth of a Nation and Clockwork Orange.

Of those, I only really think NBK and F 9/11 are that controversial. BoaN's message and plot are absolutely abhorrent, but I don't think there's any controversy about that. In school it was introduced as one of those things like Gone With the Wind that are important for whatever scholarly or technical reason, but otherwise pretty crap.

NBK

The one I have not seen and know very little about except for the stars and director.

Fried. Completely fried. Send brain. And some confidence too. I'm dealing with a lot of silent walls.

I think that A Clockwork Orange being banned in the UK until the 21st century counts for a bit of controversy. But I'm biased, since I love the darned thing. In fact, it's where I first heard "Singing In The Rain," and it's now a happy-go-kicky-people-in-the-face song for me. I understand it's happy for others, but why kick a puddle when you can kick a person?

OK, seriously??!! [link]

Isn't that DC's bailiwick?

COPYCAT! Baltimore's a copycat, Baltimore's a copycat

Which church? Unitarian, by any chance?

Heh, no, but a very liberal church.

I mean, my mother was the youth group leader, and actually brought in porn to our discussion of it.

::makes skeered sounds::

Nope! No mothers and porn! Nosirree!

Good. The lights have stopped flickering. Perhaps I will be able to concentrate on writing this damned query. I can't believe I left the jack field out of it! Can you?

Hardly.

Yeah, it was rough on me.

COPYCAT! Baltimore's a copycat, Baltimore's a copycat

yes. and?

still, we had the switchplates in the sidewalk last year that were zapping passers-by. that was sort of original.

But we don't get The Wire any more after this season. ::Goes and stands in corner with erikaj::
