i've lost my taste for violent action movies..

[toddzilla]

I just realized tonight, after many years, that i've completely lost my taste for violent action movies. Maybe it's all my recent reading of chomsky and zinn, but i watch this stuff, people getting shot and stabbed and i just think.. "why is this cool??"


i used to love going to see this stuff every weekend, but it just doesn't do anything for me any more.. I'd rather see a movie with some substance.. or a comedy or something.. anything but blood, guts and death.. i get enough of that trying to keep up with world affairs.


anyone else have similar feelings?

1. Yes, it is called growing

Humanism is an advanced level of being.

2. We live in a violent society

I guess I've been bred into it, because I enjoy it still (as long as the right guys get shot). I watched the movie Hunted with Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio del Toro, and I was kind of bummed out because it paints the FBI as a bunch of heroes, and the guy I could empathise with (del Toro) got killed in the end. He was a vet of the Balkan wars who was hunting these sweepers who were clearing a woodland out of all it's wildlife. Kind of a sad movie, but kind of hokey too.
