Obscurity and Violence
So I had lunch at the most obscure place today with Jareth, Roomie & Gwen.
Except it wasn’t as in-the-middle-of-nowhere as I thought it might be because apparently a lot of people know about this place. But do not be fooled by A Lot Of People. The food here is more like a 3.7 than a 7.3. Please don’t ever order Fish & Chips. I hope it gradually fades into obscurity so they will think about reworking the recipe.
After that we went to watch Kick Ass.
Holy. Shit. I really should’ve read up a review before I went for the movie. I went in thinking the movie’s an action comedy but boy, I was waaaay off. Warning bells should’ve gone off when I saw that the tickets were labeled M18, but man, the violence in that movie? It will make you shit bricks. Not to say it isn’t a great movie, because after thinking about it for a while, the deeper messages beneath the surface begin to sink in. To be honest though, I had my eyes shut and my fingers in my ears for maybe a third of all the “action” (gore, cough) scenes.
Which makes me wonder, am I ever going to be able to go through an entire thriller/gore (no horror because I never watch horror) movie with my eyes open throughout?
