Oh, and in relation to the movie that is the basis of this damn thread:
1) I only went to see it because my mother requested that I go with her, and I hadn't spent a lot of time with her lately. I really didn't want to see it because I heard about the old lady with the heart attack and I haven't exactly got the strongest heart myself.
2) That movie is so violent that I literally had to shut myself off emotionally to watch it all the way through. I came out of that movie with dry eyes, yes, but also had as a robot expression for another half hour after it was over before anyone could shake me back to normal. And I'm "BRING ON THE GORE" lady.
3) There were babies brought to see that movie. And not just babies, but children under thirteen. I'm going to take a stand, right here, right now. If we pay to see a movie, I don't want to hear your squalling crotchdropping in the middle of my 8 dollar entertainment. I also think you are a SUCKASS PARENT for being STUPID ENOUGH to submit your FUCKING CHILDREN to that movie. See point 2 above, now apply that level of violence and ugly, ugly horror and bloody, ripped, trashed-in-general flesh to the eyes of anyone younger than at LEAST 13, if not older, and I guarantee you that you are going to traumatize that fucking child. Especially if they're old enough to know that he was supposed to have really existed, and that those sorts of things really happened if he did. And doubly especially if they're under 7. I hope those damn parents find themselves sterile and unable to have any more crib lizards.
4) You do not go see this movie "to prove that you're Christian". You see this movie because you, yourself, with no pressure or judgment by anyone resting on your back if you don't, have a desire to understand the dark depths and horrors of the humand mind and what it is capable of having done to people, and/or feel like you wish to better understand the suffering of the one you think is your savior. Going to see this "to prove that you're Christian" is like eating loads of greasy McDonald's french fries "because it's the American thing to do". If you don't like those fries, or if you don't think you can handle eating them, or if you think they won't be good for you in the long run, you damn well don't eat 'em. Apply that to the movie. Thank you.
5) Please, don't have heart attacks in the theater if you can help it. People are already having problems watching some pretty disgustingly realistic special effects, if you go about spasming and dying on the floor, I think you're gonna attract yourself some company right quick, and I don't know if that counts as "Thou shalt not murder" or not.
