not my kid ?

the movie
-
I have my own copy. Wife ordered it. The movie sucks big time. The story is FOS and the acting is terrible. I never was able to watch more than 5 minutes bits and pieces of the movie.

I actually saw that movie BEFORE I went into Straight in health class in the 8'th grade. I had totally forgotten about it until I was in there and then it hit me in group one day that this was the same place as the movie. I guess the history is that it is based on Miller Newton's kid and his story since he wrote the book.

Not my kid....yeach...
I think traffic was a fantastic movie comparatively speaking. When Mike Douglas walks out of his "drug czar" press conference after digging his cute white daughter out of the ghetto dealers house and openly questions " how do you fight a war against your own family". He doesn't answer with "beat her, imprison her...", he simply gives up a CABINET LEVEL job and decides HE can't DO anything more than take care of his home. Gutsy character.
Not my kid was another Newton self-agrandization (enriching too,$$)trip. I have wondered how Mark and his Dad get along today. Has anybody heard anything. Last I saw was at him and Lee(or was it Tracey) A.'s wedding, then I heard they divorced. How would it feel to have Newton as a DAD? How about a movie of THAT....
