Boyhood among the powerbrokers of the American Northeast. |

They make you go to a child psychiatrist. I went to many child psychiatrists. They all thought I was fucked up. Maybe I am. |

But if you’re careful, when you watch it, the film is from the perspective of Chuck Norstadt. And he’s the only one in town that doesn’t see it. Movie doesn’t capture this. But that’s what’s going on the whole time. |

When he's asked about any event of trauma, Norstadt just says "I see John Wayne." He is so troubled. So very deeply troubled. The film stirs things inside about my own past. |

No doubt so that the molesters of 1993 could take their projects to the theater for a little grooming. And Mel Gibson and Nick Stahl were in on it. That’s how sick Hollywood is. Absolutely filthy. |
