Hee, I just went back and saw that. I was pretty sure I hadn't posted, at least not from this morning. But my head is foggy enough from allergies (or possibly Alzhoweveryouspelliters), I couldn't be sure.

[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 could never get past the realistic but senseless violence.
Huh. Maybe it's just me but, while I considered the violence in Reservoir Dogs to be brutal and graphic, I don't think any of it was either random or senseless.
I found it all to be deliberate, purposeful, and completely understandable, considering the characters and situations involved.
None of which says random or senseless to me.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Yeah, Em was in our bed most of the night (AGAIN) so between making sure noone smished her and making sure she wasn't buried under the pillow and making sure the dog wasn't on her and nursing her, I am exhausted and can't remember who was calling me names.

I've only seen the movie once, and it was about 7 years ago, so I wouldn't doubt you are correct. What I mostly remember is the ear cutting scene - thinking that while it might have been in character, it was unnecessary. I don't remember the plot that much, but the ear cutting really bothered me.

Oh sure. The violence was quite disturbing. It even made me squirm. So I can't fault anyone for being bothered by it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
and making sure the dog wasn't on her and nursing her,
And you people are debating whether Reservoir Dogs is disturbing?
