[lbo-talk] movies that will corrupt you

[Dennis Claxton]

Has anyone seen John Waters's " Movies That Will Corrupt You" series 
on heretv?  I saw L.I.E., the second movie in the series last 
night.  The themes are suburban teen alienation and pedophilia and 
Waters's introduction is wonderful.  He says "no, I'm not a 
pedophile, though I look like one.  I'm straight out of central 
casting."  At one point he says in no uncertain terms that older guys 
having sex with boys under 18 is wrong, no matter what NAMBLA 
says.  It was funny and great to hear someone like Waters, who new 
puritans would consider an amoralist, speaking so directly.
