Dog Pound
Dog Pound (2010)
91 min - Drama - 23 June 2010 (France)
Reviews: 29 user | 42 critic | 8 from Metacritic.com
Three juvenile delinquents arrive at a correctional center and are put under the care of an experienced guard.
I watched this a couple of days ago and it is still a bit disturbing to me. Not only because it brings back terrible memories for me, but because the normal evolution (developement)? necessary in the main character to make a good movie is thwarted. What is treated superficially in the movie is how these boys came to be where they are and just how few good role models they have had in their lives.
I was never in juvenile hall, but I certainly was stuck in a few places where kids who had been were. None of the places I was were same sex and I imagine the violence level with a bunch of teenaged male offenders was much higher than what I experienced. I was threatened a few times and I suppose I threatened the staff a couple times as I was restrained and isolated. What did come across is how few staff or offenders will understand or take responsibility for their own actions. The Bleakness might have been a better title for this example of how truly fucked up the "justice system" is in this country.

Nunya,
ReplyDeleteTsk tsk... I always thought you should be locked up in the dog pound, lol! Me, I'd stoically endure the pussy pound!
"how truly fucked up the "justice system" is in this country."
Well, I have to agree 100% with you there, having experienced it first hand, and especially being able to compare it with 2 other countries where I spent lots of years (Australia and France).
Where else but in the great US of fuckin' A can you get trown in jail for having embraced your lover (standing up, and dressed, mind you) at 1 in the morning in a dark recess outside of Tampa's international airport?
Where else can you can thrown into Pinella's country jail without trial because some snotty kid who threw stones at you in the mobile home park had his mum call the cops on the grounds of me alledgedly assaulting the little cunt?
No witness, no trial, and yet I find myself in jail; my wife had to PAY the fucking US government 250 dollars for them to let me out, failing which I'd still be rotting there over 10 years later.
Who needs Rwanda and Somalia when you can have USA to lead the world in banana republic judicial systems?
Nunya,
ReplyDeleteWell, well, well... what do you know: I thought Fixer and Gordon (in "alterx.blogspot") were pretty cool guys, especially considering they are ex-military.
However, Deidra and I found out that, when it comes to the crunch, the cookies really DO crumble, and those 2 assholes are just as fascist and retarded as your typical average US military cunt. See the comments on their "JFK 50 Years On" article. They might claim to be liberal and anti-US-imperialism, but it's actually just trendy bullshit - their REAL color shines, and it looks just like dog shit.
The last comment I dropped there was a joined "kiss my ass and Deidra's" goodbye, and is the 7th comment. Don't know how long it will be there before they wake up and delete it, so if you're interested, check it out soon.
In case you're too late, here is a copy/paste:

"Gordon,
Wow. Certainly didn't expect this response from the owners of this blog.
"Please keep your personal problems to yourself. I met Groucho Marx when I was a kid as we lived in the same town. He was a nice old man and way too guileless to be President."
What was that you said about keeping your personal problems to yourself?
My good friend Nunya (from "politickybitch.blogspot") was married to an ex US-military cunt. She was fortunate enough to manage a restraining court order that prevented him from ever showing his fat fascist fuckface again at her front door.
I'm sure she'll enjoy reading your prose, lol. Should bring back memories to her.
So long. I can't speak for Deidra, but I'd bet a fair amount of dough you won't see her again - after she reads your fascist crap. I'd invite you to kiss her ass, but unfortunately for youze, I'm the only one authorized to do so.
But I'm sure you and Fixer can kiss each others' asses all day & night long. After all, that's what they teach you in the US military, right?"

Oh well, who gives a flying fuck, eh? Hell, I've experienced much worse in the blogosphere, start with Barb Rohr and culminating with the ultimate psychopath fascist mother of all cunts, Jeanette Lucey.
Gordon is like one of the Vienna Choir boys in comparison, lol.
Seen any good movies lately? I'm still hoping to win a small lottery one day and come visit you with Deidra, and all of us getting sloshed and laughing our heads off, and of course, go see your cheetah chase his mechanical rabbit!
PS: now that I think of it, I'm not 100% sure about you and that restraining court order. Please forgive me if it is a mere figment of my imagination.
Hi Nunya,
ReplyDeleteHope you're well. I gather you spend most of your interactive time on Facebook, but it is a pity you don't give more on your blog. I mean: the articles you publish are interesting, but in my opinion, nothig is more interesting than the ensuing conversations and exchange of views and ideas.
Have you had much interacting with those 2 clowns Fixer and Gordon? I certainly haven't seen you there - anymore than I see either one here.
Seems most of the blog world nowadays is made of people venting out, writing articles that nobody else in the world reads. Pity.
In any case, I had a good giggle reading WhyNot's diatribe to those imbeciles, exposing them and their hypocrisy.
But mostly I enjoy my free time watching movies, and since WhyNot's collection is larger than the town's public library's, it is like a bottomless pit of delights.
The one we're watching now is an American movie named "War of the worlds". Sci-fi kind of thing, but very well done: the special effects are nothing short of breath taking as well as incredibly realistic.
Certainly leaves reading cretinous prose à la Fixer/Gordon for dead, lol.
Well... be well; I don't know if I'll ever come back here since you are never here yourself (in the comment section, that is), and since I don't have the slightest interest in FaceCrap, lol. But, in any case, I wish you all the best.
