    i watched trust (produced/directed by david schwimmer) the other night and it rocked me. every teenage girl should see this movie.

    one of the most fucked up movies i've seen in a long time.

    the movie that scared me from having kids was a movie called KIDS. just a really f`ed up movie and would suggest everybody to watch it

    Right there with you. I can't turn it off if I'm flipping channels & find it on TV...even though I own the DVD. Speaking of which...I wish the scene between Brad & his guidance counselor was an extra on the DVD. That scene is only in the TV print and not the theatrical (which is the one on the DVD).
