Thought that was a good analogy - RoyBatty - the Annette Bening character in "American Beauty". I thought Traci played the role spot on. Here is the thing, from my view. I grew up in the 80s and just about all of us loved Traci Lords. When she went over to straight films - I never paid attention. As a matter of fact, prior to this film, I had never seen a straight Traci Lords film. The thing for me was I was SURPRISED!!! Big time. I really only started up with this movie because I wanted to see what Traci looked like now. Then, as many people here, I became captured and stuck with it. As I'm watching it Im saying to myself "WOW - Traci is really good, I cant believe it!!". I have to say this as well - if it was a bigger, widely released, well publicized film - I think Traci would have got some Oscar notice. I've seen worse performances win. Especially that last scene. My heart skipped a beat when Traci screamed and the movie ended. Good stuff!!

I hated her. I am also asking myself which one, the actress, the character or both? But that was the point of her role. I guess that would describe a good actor/actress. I don't know if she did it intentional or not but it worked great for her role in this movie.
Your post however is so intense, emotional, thinking so high of yourself andover-acted.
Take it easy.

Im gonna need to call you out. In the same way you are denigrating people for their opinions, I am going to point out that you arent half as intelligent as you pretend to be - not to mention that your attempts at wit and or comedy are appalling.
Just for giggles - from where did the term sheeple originate? I'd like to know if you know. -

I read her book. She was suffering a great deal when those movies were made. I'm not above watching porn but I could never watch anything she was in knowing her back story. That's part of why porn is so dehumanizing; you don't think about the people who are suffering behind the camera that they'd resort to this kind of "job." I don't expect you to care as a man's brain rarely extends beyond the boundaries of his boxers/briefs.

That's part of why fashion is so dehumanizing; you don't think about the people who are suffering behind the doors of the sweatshops, that they'd resort to this kind of "job." I don't expect you to care as a woman's brain rarely extends beyond the boundaries of her prada and gucci.

NIce try, but you fail.
Why do people make such empty attacks? I see this a lot on IMDB and best as I can figure it is an admission of defeat - it's like the person knows they've lost the argument, but their ego is too fragile to accept it so they whip out some sort of childish deflection to make themselves feel better. For anyone else looking on with an objective eye it just further weakens the credibility of the original argument - if the original writer is really
that
childish his original argument must not have been deserving of consideration at all. -

You're full of shyt. You made the previous statement under the assumption that I'm a fashion slave who doesn't mind child slave labor. it was such a stupid statement that there's hardly a response for it; you sound like a moron who's barely ever been on a date and known zip about women and spends his days jerking off to porn.

You're full of shyt. You made the previous statement under the assumption that all men don't mind the sexual exploitation of the vulnerable. it was such a stupid statement that there's hardly a response for it; you sound like a moron who's barely ever been on a date and knows zip about men and spends her days making up caricatures to justify her own misandry.

I'm glad to see that she made something of herself. I read her book. She was exploited sexually at a young age which is part of why she succumbed to pornography. I've seen pics of her at 10 and 12 and she was such a beautiful child; it made me sad to think that she was being molested at the time those pictures were taken and would be exploited again on-camera only a few years later. It's so unfair when kids have to go through that kind of thing. Go Traci!
