You've really hit it on the head there, Scott: I've been dragging my feet in a big way about TPOTC, and it's been bugging me, because I view myself as a fan of cinema, and I feel like I should be enthusiastic to go see it for that reason alone. I mean, I endured "Irreversible" last year, I should be able to make it through this'un, yeah? But as I read review after polarized review, I get conflicted, even as I know that I should make my own decisions. But I have a strong feeling that this movie ain't for me, as you mentioned. I'm not a believer (though I do respect the teachings - I grew up Catholic). And it seems like everyone who is wathcing this film is seeing what they want to see in it (though there are some believers who are upset at things like the violence). Violence in movies bothers me far more than sex in movies does, and I'm having a really hard time convincing myself to lay down ten bucks to be "entertained" by watching a guy have chunks of flesh ripped out of his back. I mean, I don't want to watch "Ichi The Killer"
