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?
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

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.

Timing can be so critical. I was profoundly disturbed by Resevoir Dogs (speakig of...) and that kind of violence doesn't usually bother me on a visceral level. But I saw it when I was in the middle of doing this very, very emotionally intense self defense class. The violence in the movie just seemed so geared toward providing shock value, with no substance behind it. And I was so caught up in the moment with understanding the horribly violent things people can do to one another in real life. And trying to figure out ways to respond effectively to that violence (and the ways I was learning was by responding basically in kind...learning to kick and hit and bite etc. to defend myself). The movie just disgusted me--it seemed so shallow. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have the same dramatic response to it now. I haven't actually seen it again since then. (I hope that made sense...I'm ramblier than usual today.)
ION...Robin, did you get my response to your email the other day?
