A reason it affected me so much was that I was completely "laid       open" emotionally while        watching movies, eagerly and trustingly assuming that the films would be clean       and joyfully-entertaining, and so whenever anything violent or harsh like this       happened in the story, it would always "strike hard and deep" into my soul.        (More than once        during film-showings in school, a student would start crying and want to leave       the theater because of a scary/upsetting scene; sometimes even an older       student than myself) I don't think children's movies should contain negative       or scary stuff like this.         It needlessly upsets children during their tender years.              Now me, I've always been traumatized by people writing long strings of       text without any FUCKING LINE BREAKS.              But maybe that's just me.              --       Mark Shaw moc TOD liamg TA wahsnm       ========================================================================        "All of my mistakes are giving me ideas." - Natalie Lileks              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
