Do I look like Joseph Gordon Levitt?
Sitting on fresh new white bed sheets. The crisp plastic-like smell reminding me that I really should have washed them first. It’s just passed one thirty a.m. and I still can’t sleep. Last night I saw Mysterious Skin at the Nova Cinemas in Carlton. Being arguably the most thought provoking/disturbing film I’ve seen, I had trouble keeping my body from shaking, collapsing, and even vomiting as I left the cinema. The taxi ride home was full of frozen limbs and uncomfortable stares up towards the streetlights.
The white bed sheets. They’re white. No blood, no violence. Crisp. Sterile.
My imagination continues to run wild, allowing myself to substitute myself in Neil’s place. Sitting on the train, dripping in blood, in shock and frozen. Seeing him arrive home, undressing and curling up in the corner of the bathroom, crying, made me feel helpless and at the same time, pathetic at the things I get frustrated about.
There’s something horrific about mixing paedophilic themes with Fruit Loops.
I can’t stop crying. I feel like screaming.
It’s wrong that fucking bastards get away with this shit. I hope they all burn in hell. I would never. Ever. Be able to forgive someone who has committed any of the gutless and desperate crimes seen in Mysterious Skin. No one is given the right to violate something in that manner. No one should have to experience them.
Those who have and have been able to face another day, wake up and laugh, hate, cry and love are testaments to the human spirit. They make up for all the disgusting characteristics of those who violate such pleasures.

Firstly, aren't automated blog postings/comments just so annoying? Almost as bad as generic text messages.
For AM, Joseph Gordon Levitt is the lead character from "Mysterious Skin". He was previously best known for his role in the sitcom "3rd Rock From The Sun". Google him for pictures. On my post he is the boy on the left hand side of the picture.

No you dont look like Gordon. Although the hair and the squinty eyes are resemblences. If he wore Size 0 pants, sang like Mariah and ate like a banshee pig then yes, you would BE Gordon Levitt.
Nice blog Mr. D. Are you ever going to leave a comment on mine or do i have to pay you?

I was pretty shaken by it too, and now I'm writing a 4,000 word cultural studies essay about that movie and Elephant (Gus van Sant, 2003).
The thing you gotta remember is... it's not real. Not just in the cliche "It's a movie dxxn" sense, but in a "The director designed every moment of that experience" sense, and then you have to think, what the fuck was he wanting to prove by making me feel like that?
Child abuse is bad?
NO SHIT! At what point does the excessiveness of the portrayal cross right into exploitation, pretty-boys-in-pain porn?
