Torture Porn


Explained here is why people apparently like watching this stuff:
http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/Movies/05/10/centipede.torture.movie/index.html?hpt=T2. Not to come off sounding like a pansy (maybe I am) but I just don't enjoy seeing people suffer through torture or cruelty even if their names are Nancy Pelosi or Keith Olbermann or Cameron Diaz. I do know people who seem fairly well adjusted who like "Saw" and "Hostel" and other films of that genre and seem to be highly entertained by the whole thing and are able to sleep at night. Not me. For whatever reason, those kind of images tend to stay with me. I do like war movies, however, especially those that more realistically depict warfare. Maybe it's me that's messed up.
