How much horror is too much horror, exactly??

Darn it, I've done it again. I've spent the entire day so far (mind you, I got up at 11 after a wonderful sleep, so thankfully it's only been four hours or so) browsing IMDB forums on horror movies. I blame Emilie de Ravin for this. If she wasn't playing in the remake of The Hills Have Eyes I wouldn't have gone there to try and figure out if her ( Read more... )

*laughs* Oh god, the opening of Ghost Ship does sound like a feast for the eyes!! Especially since I've read (of course I hurried to IMDB to read up on the movie) that the opening credits are all pink and LoveBoat-ish. Too bad the rest of the movie appears to be cliché, because I'm greatly enticed by the slice-and-dice scene (it all depends on the level of gory. I could stomach the beginning of Saving Private Ryan, after all, and if it's funny...), and, of course, there's Emily Browning. I didn't even know she'd played in anything before ASOUE, and I'd love to see her as a ghost (but is she killed or does she commit suicide? I've read both in the reviews...It'd be awesome if she'd killed herself). *sighs* Hey, maybe when you come over, you can watch it with me!

I don't quite get this line, though: "The whole issue of being desensitzed to violence has never made real sense to me.". What do you mean? That violence never ceases to make an effect on you (even if you also think it's fun), that it's never had an effect on you to begin with ( ... )
