[QUOTE]: Larry effin' Clark
Oh, Larry. "Larry Clark is angry... "Fuck the critics" he spits. "Fuck the censors" he adds. Oh, and "fuck the police"... In conversation he might sound like what he is, a 
65-year-old man with a deep, slow motion Oklahoma drawl frequently punctuated by temporarily lost trails of thought, but his words, like his films, are those of rebellious adolescence," writes David Whitehouse in the Guardian. "[T]hese aren't the noises of a man desperately trying to get down with the kids.... Larry Clark is legitimately the oldest teenager on the block" and the "itchiest scab on the arse of the arts establishment." Quoth: "Do I exploit teen sexuality more than the tabloid newspapers who have pictures of famous young women getting out of a car with no pants on? No fucking way. Fuck the critics... I've been working my whole life to get an R rating... It's all to do with the MPAA... those cocksuckin' mother fuckers. Let me tell you about the fuckin' MPAA. They are a censorship board run by the studios to protect their films. So they shit all over the smaller independent films like mine. This means we're allowed to watch Sharon Stone fuckin' the shit out of Michael Douglas before she stabs him, but I can't show what I wanna show. It's the most corrupt system in the world."
