>>At the American Chronicle, young writer Samuel  Van Eerden has voiced
his opinions on the corrupting influences of Hollywood,  and
specifically on recent decisions made by Dan Radcliffe and Dakota  Fanning.

Since Dan's role in Equus was recently discussed her, and  the
consensus seemed to be that we wished him well and welcomed  the
change. Samuel Van Eerden has a decidedly different view on the  matter.

Just  passing it along.

For one thing, Dan isn't a "Hollywood" kid, he's in the  British film 
industry, which is a lot different than ours.  What Dakota's  mother is allowing her 
child to do is appalling, really.  The kid's only 12  - how's she supposed to 
know how to act out such a scene???  Yikes.  I  sure won't go see that film.  
Dan's doing a STAGE PLAY - big difference to  start with, and it's a "classic" 
play that's garnered many awards.  There  are "tasteful" ways to portray what 
Dan has to do onstage, I'm sure, or schools  wouldn't have put on the 
production as some folks here have mentioned.  I  wish Dan had made a different 
choice of venue to show the range of his acting,  but Brits are a lot less hung-up 
on nudity than Americans.  We need to  remember the Puritans came here and 
that colors our thinking.  England's  not hung up on topless beaches, etc.  At 
17, they consider Dan an adult,  unlike here.  Anything he does now is not 
"child" anything, if I understand  the British laws that I've heard of.  So it's 
not right to compare  them.  And this twerp doesn't think Dan can act, either.  
He needs to  get a life (the twerp - Dan seems to be doing just fine).
