GOODNIGHT, FUCKERS #552: TORTURE PORN

 So recently I mentioned something from Ty and That Guy about how snuff films should have awards shows, and that they should be called the Snuffies. It made me think of something horrible, and I thought I would share that with you all tonight.


You know how people who do certain jobs will see them depicted in movies and talk shit about how Hollywood doesn't know what it's doing? For example, I'm sure dentists probably picked apart Corbin Bernsen's performance in The Dentist. Or perhaps a stockbroker talked shit about the depiction of their job in The Wolf of Wall Street. I know I've heard of detectives talking about how they would never do the things done by Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt in Se7en. That kind of thing.


Do people who torture and murder people on film look at movies like, say, Hostel and think, "Yeah, that's not how it is in real life"? "Oh, I would never use a bamboo splinter to pry up someone's fingernails. Too cliche. It's much more satisfying to use a blunt butter knife." Does someone like that watch The Girl Next Door and say, "That would never go down that way. That's so unrealistic, this is insulting."? Things like that.


Maybe there's such a thing as thinking too much. I'm going to stop now.
