No Chi-Mo Would Touch Dakota Fanning With a Ten-Foot Pole

Her role reeks so badly of "I better get nominated for an Oscar for this" that even Martin Scorsese is like, "Dude, tone it down a bit." She's 12 years old and went from appearing in the movie adaptation of Charlotte's Web to being raped by some creep in an indie flick. She might as well be ringing a bell while wearing a sandwich board that reads "OSCAR WORTHY."
There is, however, one glaring problem with this movie, and I urge the Academy to keep this in mind: Dakota Fanning is one ugly kid. I call shenanigans on the plausibility of her getting raped by some child molester because, quite frankly, you could go to any playground in America and throw a dart into a crowd of kids, and you'd undoubtedly hit a child cuter than Dakota Fanning. A child predator would take one look at her, gag a bit, and then go "No thank you," before puttering away in his tinted window white chi-mo van.
Seriously, she looks like one of those kids from Village of the Damned, what with her thin, limp hair, pale skin (tone it down to the Coppertone Kids 30, will ya?), and sunken eyes. Dakota looks perma-tired, which I can't for the life of me understand why. Aren't there child labor laws? Doesn't she work, like, a couple hours a day? What the hell is she doing with the rest of her time, aside from yelling at her personal assistant? ("I ordered a double tall half-caf nonfat caramel macchiatto, extra hot! Do it again!", and then she'd smack the drink out of the poor guy's hand.)
Besides, haven't we all been raped by the saccharin-sweet schmaltz that was Uptown Girls? I sure as hell felt violated by that movie, and I only caught two minutes of it on HBO. Face it, Academy: we've all been ravaged by a Dakota Fanning movie sometime in our lives, so why would you reward her for going through the motions once in some indie movie that's trying way too hard to get Oscar recognition?
I thought I'd close by summarizing my main points:
- Dakota Fanning is an albino Jack O'Lantern.
- She is a child molester repellant.
- Don't give her an Oscar. Ever.
- Instead, give it to Martin Scorsese for The Departed.
- Or to Clive Owen for Children of Men.
