North Carolina: Home of Trashy Rape Scenes and Trashier Republicans?

Hounddog is not a good movie, in spite of it's beautiful North Carolina backdrop (it was filmed in New Hanover and Brunswick Counties). No studio at the Sundance film festival wanted to buy it. Walkouts were common during screenings in Park City, Utah. It's been recieving bad reviews. Most of the dislike for this movie is focused on a non-nude scene in which 12-year-old Dakota Fanning plays a nine-year-old character who is raped.

This film certainly has questionable merit. But according to prosecutors, it didn't break the law, and it's simply a bad film, not an exploitation flick. I'm no fan of Dakota Fanning's work, but I don't think I agree with the latest conservative crusade to review scrips for studios that want tax incentives to film in North Carolina.
