God Bless America

Even if you and I don't agree that there are still plenty of great people in America, we can both agree that it's not fair to generalize all Americans based on our country's low points, right?

The cynical, jaded, "I may or may not have totally fantasized about this before," side of me finds the idea of this movie humourous. Though I'll probably just wait for it to hit the bargain bins before I see, doesn't look like something worth the $25 to go see it in theatres.

$25 dollars?!?! Is that for one ticket or two?

Oh...

GOD...

NO.

I don't care if it turns out NOT to be a horrifying fantasy of killing everybody who annoys you, but a critique of that fantasy blah blah blah... It's like that movie that condemned humanity's obsession with watching people die by showing a bunch of victims dying Saw-style, it condemned it WHILE INDULGING IN IT.

There's simply no way this movie won't be profoundly hypocritical or just simply messed up beyond any redemption.

Also, I'm disturbed by the interest in it. PEOPLE, Y U MAKE ME CRY?

Untraceable was an excellent movie. It showed violence in such a way that was genuinely disturbing, yet ultimately a fiction, and used it to parallel that people in our society seek that out but real.

Since watching it I have never again taken any pleasure in seeing videos of actual people getting hurt.

That's one ticket plus snacks, I factor the snacks into the price because let's face it, I've never gone to the theatre and -not- gotten snacks for the film. but yes, my theatre here is rediculously expensive, but as it's the only one in town, it gets to charge what it wants and I get stuck being shafted.
