Simon West To Helm 'Expendables 2'

A pelasinlgy rational answer. Good to hear from you.

You're the one with the brnais here. I'm watching for your posts.

There's actually a prttey interesting post regarding people having more scrutiny for visual representations of something than written representations. I'd recommend it to people interested on the subject, I enjoyed it and thought it articulated some good points.And I'd have to say there's some truth to it. I read my first Stephen King book, Pet Semetary, when I was ten years old. The book has some extremely graphic depictions of sex and violence, including the detailed description of a toddler being hit by a truck and brutally dismembered as he was dragged under it for a length comparable to that of a football field. And at ten years old, no one questioned me reading this. Actually, I think I was probably congratulated for reading something with that many pages while the other kids were taking out things like Babysitter's Club and California diaries. I was not allowed to watch Steven King movies nearly until around the time I graduated high school and moved out. My parents just didn't want us watching stuff like that, I still feel awkward watching a movie with a sex scene in it in my parent's house. But they were fine with me reading about it. And when I finally saw the Pet Semetary movie, I realized that the violence was EXTREMELY censored from what was written in the book. Taking that same scene with the toddler being hit by the truck for example, in the movie I believe the track just cleanly flips over and squashes him, so you see nothing. And honestly, as intense as that scene is in the book, it just seems much more tasteless to actually show a realistic visual depiction of a little boy being ground apart by a truck than it is to write about it.I do agree with you that games probably face more scrutiny than movies because they're more interactive and new. I do remember when I was a kid shows like Power Rangers were getting a lot of flack because kids were/could emulate it. Even cartoons, I remember listening to some radio show where a woman was talking about how children shouldn't be allowed to watch Bugs Bunny cartoons because it will make them more violent, and how you need to take your child aside and explain what would really happen if the coyote had an anvil drop on him , but you don't see much of that anymore. I don't know if it's because kids cartoons have neutered down the violence enough these days or people have found new targets to complain about, or some combination of both.
