Earlier today I was thinking about Jodie Foster in "Taxi Driver" and Brooke Shields in "Pretty Baby" (which she totally defended as an adult). When I was a kid, "Taxi Driver" was new, and my dad used to walk around the house quoting lines from the film "I don't know nobody named Iris" etc. -- I was little, I had no idea what any of that was about. Isn't Jodie Foster TWELVE in that? "Oh, but Travis Bickle wants to SAVE Iris" -- could he not as easily have wanted to save an ADULT prostitute?

<That's like me abusing animals to show how messed up it is.> TONS of animal abuse films. TONS. Of course they didn't do it to show it was wrong. They just did it because animals-shmanimals.
