Big John as pedophile
Some of the reviews of the movie that describes Big John as a pedophile    —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tony Sandel (talk • contribs) 10:51, 27 February 2007 Big John is obviously a pedophile

Gun
The missing gun would seem to be the one with which Big John is murdered by Scott It isn't in Gary's room. In the scuffle at the burglary Scott would have had opportunity to steal it. No. Both boys have the guns and are playing with them at or near an intersection. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.28.215.251 (talk) 21:36, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

This is an important film. Not just a NAMBLA-member's wet-dream
I am disappointed the director concentrates on the pedophilia. While its inseperable from the plot and drives it, loss and abandonment, the search for meaning in human relationships and the isolation imposed by post-modern media-culture are the real point of the film. Howie and John are so similar intellectually and emotionally. The ugliness of John's pederasty and all around tragedy for the characters is mitigated by the honesty and compassion Howie and John show each other. They are the only two living characters in L.I.E. who are honest with themselves and each other. 24.158.40.160 (talk) 12:50, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Pervert. Anyhoo, I'm deleting the trivia section if no one objects. The fact that Hurdy-Gurdy Man is featured seems irrelevant, saying "many scholars" think Walt Whitman was gay uses weasel words, is slanderous, and unsourced and the set location can be worked into the article elsewhere. 66.167.233.60 (talk) 04:41, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Reasons for this film's NC-17 rating
This article states that the films's sympathetic portrayal of a pedophile is what earned it an NC-17, which is erroneous (and unsurprisingly, no reference is cited). A brief sex scene early in the film is what earned it its rating. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.110.253.118 (talk) 21:59, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Also, I saw this movie at an independent theater, and it was rated NC-17, with no edits. It should be noted in the article that it was released as an NC-17 movie to independent theaters. By the way, due to its rating, the theater did card every patron buying tickets to that movie.--76.235.76.155 (talk) 07:45, 18 January 2011 (UTC) 2602:304:CFD3:2EE0:7915:BA2B:E327:3347 (talk) 07:51, 10 August 2014 (UTC) I saw it at an independent theater as well, also with the NC-17 rating, but I guess at 25 I looked over 18, so they didn't card me. :/ 2602:304:CFD3:2EE0:7915:BA2B:E327:3347 (talk) 07:51, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

L.I.E. → L.I.E. (film) – WP:SMALLDETAILS, sources aren't consistent and the dots aren't enough to distinguish a film named after the LIE from the LIE. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:17, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Support - There are many acronyms for L.I.E. as listed on the disambiguation page.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 23:34, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Support - to anyone from New York, the acronym L.I.E. stands for Long Island Expressway. Blueboar (talk) 11:58, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Strongly support per nom. It should redirect to the disambiguation page. Paintspot Infez (talk) 14:44, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

It makes no sense to rename this article, but leave L.I.E. as a redirect here. That completely defeats the point of disambiguation. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 14:03, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
