and the ONE THING that always bothers me, is violence / abuse towards animals. in films, poems, prose, what have you. don't like it. ever. i don't care if it makes a point, i know about cruelty to innocents and it's not a point i want to see. period.
ok severe reaction. but i just watched a short film that hurt a kitten. it was an animated kitten, but i don't need to cry at my desk at 10am. especially when it's being done for comic / shocking / juxtapositional effect.
i felt the same way about a passage in this one stephen king book. i read all of his work rabidly from age 11 on. and one time, one short character descriptive passage about a cruel farmer and kittens has stuck with me and can bring me to tears in a moment.
meh. i'm too much of a softie.
