Audience Member I just finished watching this and my blood is boiling... this guy is a sociopath. He doesn't accept responsibility for his actions, he shows absolutely no remorse or empathy for anything, is enabled by his mom and cares solely about the ramifications this will have on his life. To me, this is akin to a person going to a shady underground site and discussing school bombings, for a very long period of time, discussing how he fantasizes about bombing them and laying out exact details of how he bomb a school; he even discusses a list of schools he would love to bomb including posting pictures of them; he searches online for "how to make a bomb"; he finds one school that he really really wants to bomb, so he plans a "vacation" in the area of the school... visits the school... checks out the schools schematics... and as soon as he gets home he goes straight to the site to share the information he obtained for his "vacation". And you're telling me that's worse than some guy who sells a bit of weed, who is locked up for years? How is there no issue with what he did. How are so many sticking to their point of "he only discussed it online and didn't actually do it, so he's completely innocent"... when in fact he didn't just discuss it online; he made a list of actual women he wanted to do this to, and he searches a police database for the addresses of women he wanted to rape/kill/cannibalize (which is illegal in and of itself); he goes to establish a connection and meet someone from his list, as well as post pictures and details about them. That's NOT just discussing it online. It's absolutely not just discussing it online. I could understand their POV if he only posted about it online... but he didn't. He went much further than just posting about it online. And that bullshit re 'I was going to close all my accounts the day before anyway', saying it like it's some honourable decision, was only bc he was scared of getting caught. I hope someone eats his leg. And a jury finds him guilty yet the judge throws out their decision? Now that I got to vent, Erin Lee Carr is a wonderful director and documentarian. I had never seen any of her works until 4 hours ago, when I watched Mommy Dead and Dearest (another doc I recommend). Her doc's are on stories that are extremely interesting and controversial, and she doesn't take a side... she presents the facts, with opinions from people for and against the issue at hand. It's a treat to watch her stuff. I was absolutely riveted during Thought Crimes. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Really interesting case against this cop who didn't do anything wrong except use the police database to look up people. Another instance of the justice system looking dumb and clunky. A good conversation starter.

It follows a man who was arrested for engaging in online fetish fantasies. It's a captivating story that questions the line of fantasy versus conspiracy. The weirdest part is how NORMAL the guy seems. Freaky stuff brah. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow! What a deeply evil scary depraved creep! In thought. In fantasy. Even in planning & in, so far, harmless preparations. But in actual deed, not at all! SO FAR! And so it goes with our unobtainable utopian vision of being able to anticipate what any of us is ACTUALLY going to do before we ACTUALLY do it. Even when we say we were OR weren't Actually going to, when prevention becomes true crime pre crime punishment. You mean we have to wait until he actually physically tries to harm someone or to at least otherwise break the law before we pounce with anything more than precaution, monitoring for actual crime, & invistigation of its actual perpetration? To do less, to cross that line between precieved propencity & actual deed as actual crime is in deed a crime against all our minds & freedom of thought itself. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This! This movie is what we need right now. It's the middle ground between the outrage culture who wants to fire everyone for disagree, and the free speech advocates who want the Wild West. The shades of grey in the film only further the debate. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
