Hey, I'm Charlie Bartlett and this is my blog about teen movies, music, videos, personal rants. Feel free to make a request or ask advice and dont forget to register!
Not too long ago I shared another special called “The Merchants of Cool” which basically showed you how it’s COMPANIES, and not other teens, that make trends and fads happen. Well, here’s another special by Frontline also which explains why teenagers are the way they are- sleeping, boredom, our sex drives, mood swings. Basically anything you can shake a dick at. A lot of shit is explained in this video which reveals that teens are SUPPOSED to be tired and lazy and wanting sex all the time- it’s just the way we’re wired.
On a side note, me and my sis tried showing this to our parents to see their reaction. Needless to say, they got off our backs for about a couple of days…but then it returned to normal. Old people….they just never learn do they?
I was just going to post one Manson album (Holy Wood) but then I just said “Fuck it, they need to hear everything.” So here you go, EVERY good Marilyn Manson album. If you told me that I was going to be a fan of Marilyn Manson a year ago I would have laughed at you and said something like “Manson?…ehhh isn’t he like trying to be the devil or something so he can get attention..geez that guy is weird.” But since then I’ve become to appreciate his art…I say art because he’s actually one of the last TRUE music artists around. Visually, musically, lyrically- just EVERYTHING this guy does is art. He really represents what it means to be a true individual and I respect him for that.
On a related note I’d like to point out that Lady Gaga is trying very hard to be the female Marilyn Manson. Ok, sure, she’s an artist herself, but she STOLE Manson’s style completely. Don’t even get me started on the stupid costumes and videos.
This is one of my favorite songs ever. It’s about how Hollywood movies glorify violence, sex, and drugs. “Slow motion” refers to when they slow down scenes in movies- you can make anything look cool when you do that, that doesn’t mean it’s good. It just seems like every “good” movie that people take seriously has to be packed with unrealistic extreme destructive behavior. NEWSFLASH: problems aren’t cool.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, people can have sex everyday and not hurt anybody; murder, on the other hand, ISN’T NORMAL yet we see it more often in movies and it’s even considered more “appropriate” to see than sex. Suck my dick hollywood.
I’ve wanted to share this movie for a long time with you guys, but I didn’t think a lot of you were mentally prepared for such a disturbing film. This movie is a fictional account of what some sex slaves go through, however the subject of human trafficking (aka selling and transporting people for slavery) is a very real crime in this world. In fact, a lot of the details are based of what really happened to a girl from Lithuania. No other movie has made my blood boil this much.
As a male, watching this movie was especially hard because, usually when I come across a sex scene in a movie I ENJOY it, but I wanted nothing more than to stop seeing the ones in this movie. I’ll say it again, this is a very hard movie to watch. So much, in fact, that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to watch it more than once. Lilya (the main character) is subject to a lot of physical and mental abuse. If you haven’t yet seen movies like Thirteen and Battle Royale, then I don’t think you should watch this.
The original language this movie is in is Swedish, so I’ve included the version with subtitles embedded. It’s very rare to find, which is a shame because people need to see this movie.
I usually hate musicals. Let me stress that…I ABSOLUTELY FUCKING HATE EVERY MUSICAL I’VE EVER SEEN. Except this one for some reason. Maybe it’s because there’s really a story to it and it has a lot of songs that i can sing to. Or maybe it’s because i think Evan Rachel Wood is hot and I was stoned the first time I saw it…yeah that might have to do something with it. Anyways, this is the ONLY musical I’ve ever seen and liked. So, if you’re like me and you hate musicals, you should at least give this one a shot cuz you just might like it.

Yeah, this isn’t really the porn king Larry Flint (it’s Woody Harrelson acting as him), but it’s a great speech anyways. To me Larry Flint (in regards to his early days anyways) isn’t a dirty old man, but rather a hero of free speech. If it weren’t for him, we sure as hell wouldn’t have nearly as many sexually open-minded people today.
When Larry Flynt started Hustler Magazine, he got a lot of shit for it. Nudity, back then, was of course frowned upon and even though strip clubs were legal they weren’t glorified as they are today in music videos. I mean, SHIT, the dude got shot and is in a wheelchair today so that people like us can masturbate peacefully!
I love this movie because it’s a non-x-rated way of explaining why those who hate pornography are hypocrites. Plus it’s got Edward Norton (from American History X) and Courtney Love (who ROCKS) in it.
White Houses by Vanessa Carlton may be the most beautiful song about sex, but this is quite possibly the sexiest song ever made. It’s too bad the band didn’t live past one album (this was really the only good song on it). Oh and you might recognize this song from the movie Empire Records.
On a side note to you peeps: I have a lot of stuff coming up in in the next few weeks so I don’t know when I’ll be able to do another post (or send out the newsletter for that matter). I’ve got an essay to write, a project to do, a test to study for, a book to read, and a shit to take.
Wish me luck, and I’ll be in touch with you peeps later!

Part 1:
If you have a close friend who is the opposite sex of you, you probably already know most of this stuff, but surprisingly A LOT of people don’t know what is in this useful video. Every mainstream comedian, TV show, and song would have you thinking that males and females might as well be from different planets but this is NOT the case. The real difference is what society expects from males and females.
Sure, the dude who’s talking has some corny jokes, but that isn’t what’s really important about the video. This will make you realize that how your parents act and how you act have a lot to do with your gender. Read more…

This is a very hard movie to watch. It’s about real events that occurred to a transgender called Brandon (played by Hilary Swank). To be honest, the only reason I watched this movie was because I saw the very hot clip of Chloe Sevigny moaning from oral sex from the documentary This Film Is Not Yet Rated and I decided “Hmm…well THAT looks like a movie I want to see!”. Little did I know what I was in for.
This movie REALLY changed the way I thought about what it means to just be a PERSON. The human race is made up of heterosexuals, gays, lesbians, transgenders, etc. Hate crimes against PEOPLE just for being themselves is just sick. I dunno, maybe it’s because I’ve always been sort of an outcast so I can relate. Read more…
