I think that was a limitation of the actress and not the character.
When she did the "Lookit the balisong daddy, lookit!" I thought it was a gag rather than a moment of innocence. Like "After bullet training let's get ice cream!"

... the theory that she's intentionally trying to sexuallize herself already.
 Care to explain that a little bit? English may not work exactly the way you think it does. I doubt that a 13 year old girl would "sexualize" herself "intentionally". Even today. Or did you just mean that she hit puberty ? |

If anyone's trying to intentionally sexualize her image, the smart money is always going to be on her agent and/or parents.

Are you serious? I'm just going to choose to believe it's a difference between Germany and America and leave it at that, though I find that a stretch since google says your age of consent is 14. Normal, everyday girls here are starting to sexy themselves up by then, let alone celebrities. |

My daughter is 11 now, 12 in a month and a half. Based on her friends 13 is late to start it. She asked to begin shaving her legs a few weeks ago and wanted to do it last year but we said no way.
Her 13 year old friend up the street looks like and wears clothes I remember girls of 16 doing when I was that age. Yes, indeed, 13-year-olds can and do tart themselves up. Unless belly tanks with spaghetti straps and those terry cloth daisy dukes are the only attire in the 13-year-old clothing aisle. (Hint, it's not.)

I don't want to argue semantics. In my mind, to "sexualize" oneself is not the same thing you and others are talking about. Teenage girls and puberty (and all that comes) with it are not the same as sexualization(imho). If anyone's trying to intentionally sexualize her image, the smart money is always going to be on her agent and/or parents.
This I agree with. |

What a "normal" girl gets away with and what a child actor does in scheduled TV appearances are not comparable. I guarantee you that the clothes she puts on before she has any sort of public appearance are at least approved, if not carefully selected, by her parents or some other adult authority figure.

You and I are in agreement. Everyone else is clinging to the fantasy that this little girl is offering herself to them of her own free will.

Can't we all just agree to blame 'society' and get along?

Saw this tonight. Was very impressed with how good of a film it was. The violence was a bit over the top, I don't think he spent enough time looking around for crimes, but they did do a fairly good job with him looking for "Bitey".
Best superhero film I have seen all summer! (Note I have not seen Ironman 2 yet).

Caught this on Netflix and loved it. It felt very original, with a fresh take on superheroes. Plus, a lot of references to comics and comic book movies. The last line was the best! Great acting, though the main kid was average. Nic Cage did good! I actually believed he was someone other than Nic Cage.
I don't know anything about the books, but I'd love a sequel.

Watched this last night on DvD and was pleasantly surprised. I would have preferred less gore, but the pace and action were as interesting as the story. I expected not to enjoy this and really fell in love with it.

Exceeded all my expectations. Loved it. I didn't prepare the wife very well and the share was a bit "wtf?" at first, especially when Kick Ass gets graphically stabbed and hit by that car. I liked the final fight between HG and the crime boss. They didn't try and gloss over the fact that a grown man would have to really be a pansy to lose to an 11 year old girl in hand to hand, no matter her skills. Nic Cage did a good job with a small role.
I love it when movies combine parody and strong violence. Am I broken?
