Huh. None of the violence in Sin City affected me at all, because I couldn't get past the adolescent machismo in the writing. I had a really hard time making it through the one book I finished, actually, because the writing was just so bad. (DH saw the film yesterday, and basically said, Jess, don't see this in theatres, you'll be bored out of your skull.)
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I can't even.
Hey Aimee, that was helpful. What kind of crap are you trying to pull there, missy? Improve your friends/colleagues' lot in life or what?

CANNOT ever hear that song any more without thinking of that scene.
Also can't ever see Michael Madsen in anything (including Free Willy), wtihout spending the whole time expecting him to cut off somebody's ear and pour gasoline all over them.

I am now picturing this scene in Free Willy and laughing like a drain.

Always Anti-fascist!
Am I the only freak who would push past the pain? (considers spot on file marked "Found coffin sex erotic.") Ok, yeah. Never mind.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I would push past the pain or discomfort for the reward of the experience, but not always. For example, The Body first aired the week my dad died. I was spoiled as to what happened and knew it would be so painful for me to watch that there was no point in giving those 44 minutes of my life over to it. I watched it on re-run and was moved, but I know my own feelings would have blinded me to it if I had seen it earlier.
It's art--it'll still be there for you when you are ready to see it.
