Plot Outline: A provocative drama about a 32-year-old man who takes home a 14-year-old girl he meets on the Internet--with surprising consequences.\n\nWell, it's like in the old days that dirty old men gave out hard candy to kids to lure them away & kidnap them.  In this case the hard candy seems to be the lies he gave on-line!  Scary!!!

The etymology of the term is uncertain; some histories cite it as originally referring to a play that is so successful that competing theaters on the block are "busted" and driven out of business; others claim a derivation from the nickname of a type of World War II-era bomb capable of destroying an entire city block. Still others note that the term may stem from crowds of people that might flock to queue up for a hit play, perhaps stretching over several city blocks. Whatever its origin, the term quickly caught on as a way to describe a hit, and has subsequently been applied to productions other than plays and films, including novels and multimillion selling computer/console game titles. The Blockbuster Video company derived its name from the term.

FUBAR.\n\nFfffffouled Up Beyond All Recognition.\n\nLots of young whippersnappers will tell you this came from Saving Private Ryan.  Although a fine film, at least one other much older, much crappier movie used it called Tango & Cash.  Not sure if this was actually the origin, but it certainly predates the Spielberg picture by many years.

Because it's a dark comedy.  It's funny, but not in the sense that most are.  Take Bad Santa for example, one of my favorite black comedies, the main character (Billy Bob Thornton) is a drunk, a thief, and hates everyone, and the whole movie is centered around him robbing a department store.  The subject matter is very dark and there really is no happy ending.  This is what black comedies are usually made up of.

I quote from Wikipedia-\n"In the 1960s, Ringo Starr of The Beatles stated in an interview that they were his favorite candy. This caused their British fans to begin throwing packets or handfuls at the band while they played. American fans, not familiar with Jelly Babies, substituted the much harder and projectile-like jelly bean, much to the band's disdain."\n\nJelly babies are like gummy bears.

I don't think the movie is based on a true story...\n\nBut I do believe there are probably places that do that.\nThink about it... we live in a very sick and twisted world; I'm sure there's something like that around.\n\nBy the way... other than the first 30 minutes of p0rn, that movie was amazing.  ♥ \n\n"Wanna' go disco?"

Easy to be Hard is the name. It comes from the rock opera "Hair" I believe. It's been recorded over the yrs. by diff. artists. I think Three Dog Night did it.

As far as I know it could be one of three things:\n1. cinnamon candy mostly sold at movie theaters\n2. a Mexican food made from meat and corn meal\n3. a slang word for a drug taken in the form of a pill

I haven't seen the movie. \n\n If you want to know if the word in the movie means bacteria, please tell us what the name is, so we can help you.  Even if you misspell it, it is better than nothing.

7 Up was originally called Sodium Phosphate Fizzer\nThe Babe Ruth candy bar was named after a President's Daughter\nThe "Lolly Pop" got it's name after a famous race horse.\nWhistling on a stage is considered Bad Luck (various whistles served to tell people what sand bags to drop).\nSaying Macbeth in a Theatre is also bad luck (reason it is mostly performed in outdoor theatres).\nGhost Lights are left on performance stages to scare off ghosts of disgruntled past performers.\nHarvard, Illinois was once known as "The Milk Capital Of The World" because more milk passed through this small town than anywhere else in the world (about 500,000 gallons per day in the 1940's), they have a festival every year called MILK DAYS and a fiberglass cow in the center of town called HARMILDA (Short for Harvard Milk Days).\nIn Collinsville, IL there is the WORLDS LARGEST CATSUP BOTTLE  http/www.catsupbottle.com\nThe University of Illinois started the tradition of HOMECOMING.\nThat is all that my mind full of useless trivia can think of at the moment, when I think of more I will add to my list.

I think guys are extra sensitive about gay issues because they're insecure. As if just seeing the movie will make those around them doubt their sexuality. I thought it was a good movie and yes, it was weird at first, but after the shock (stemming from being sheltered by media) I got into the story & it was really sad, blah blah blah. And yes, why is it more common to see girl-on-girl themes in movies or on TV. Like on those dating shows where the guy asks two girls to kiss. A guy would never kiss another guy to prove to a girl how kinky he is. If there's nothing wrong with us doing it then why is it so different for them? If I kissed another girl for fun nobody would call me a lesbian. But if a guy even just went to see this movie his friends would call him gay. The world just sucks that way.

My friend worked as a body guard for Kiss in the 70's and he said\nAccording to Paul Stanley, Kiss just sounded dangerous (kiss of death) and sexy at the same time. Kiss denies the rumors that the name stands for "Kids In Service of Satan" or the saying "Keep It Simple Stupid
