A Medley of Disgusting Situations

Dear Editor,
   It would be very helpful if the film reviewers would mention it when the films (like Man on Fire) have what many would consider to be highly objectionable sadistic scenes – like when the jaded hero Denzel slowly cuts off another's fingers and when he put explosives up another's rectum. Such things are extremely repulsive to some, and warnings would be appreciated. It's very sad that some of our filmmakers enjoy indulging in such appalling grossness, but understandable when you consider that thousands of hours of their childhood experiences involved playing Doom and other trash games. That plus the sad fact that we have so-called "leaders" like Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld (to name a few), whom some people actually look up to! It's just another part of a huge sign that shouts "something is very wrong with our civilization – things are getting uglier – when they should and could be getting better." It's comforting to know/believe that the darkest hour is right before the dawn – we seem to be almost there.
