Unbelievable, indeed. It really isn't a very dynamic film, and it makes prison look like a fairy tale.

What fucked up fairy tales are you reading? Which stories have anal rape? Do you have The Grimm Brothers: Director's Cut or something?

If "You're gonna swallow what I give you to swallow" is a common line in fairy tales, well...I reckon I'll be reading Zinn to my children before bedtime.
