    AA>> (because you mentioned "borderline porn movie"). LOL I was   
    AA>> thinking "Doug has a pretty lame idea what porn is".   
    AA>   
      
    DC> I'm so sorry, but I'm laughing my ass off over what you just   
    DC> said. I can't imagine what you were verbalizing as you were   
    DC> watching that shit.   
      
   Laughter was the goal.  Glad it worked.   
      
   30 minutes in.. no porn.  45 minutes in.. some "relationship" stuff.  55   
   minutes in.. maybe we're getting somewhere.  75 minutes in.. still nothing   
   that qualifies as porn.  90+.. film is almost over.  WTF!  ...no porn.   LOL   
      
      
    AA>> It turns out that Hostile was not entirely bad at all.   
      
    DC> Hmm.. maybe I'll watch it. I'm not a big zombie fan.   
      
   The film does not scream zombie at the viewer. Hopefully you will enjoy it.   
   The reviews and commentaries all over the internet give consistent praises.   
      
      
    DC> ..the movie SAW, paled in comparison to   
    DC> Hostel. They took the movie too far. I haven't seen any of   
    DC> the others that have been released. If they could top the   
    DC> first, I wouldn't want to.   
      
   Yes.. I read that there was a Hostel II and a Hostel III   
      
      
    DC> cut up by a chainsaw. Whenever our society turned to   
    DC> demanding more realismn in violance is beyond me. I was   
    DC> content with the likes of Scarface, the Shining, and the   
    DC> original Texas Chain Saw Massacre, level of "shock."   
      
   I saw all 3 many many years ago.   
      
   I don't think it's about people demanding more shock. I think it is producers,   
   writers and filmmakers testing to see what they can get away with.   
      
   I'm pretty happy with the film noire genre.  There are elements of treating   
   death like it was existential, sometimes humour thrown in.  Gruesome details   
   are not necessary to effectively be shocking or portraying horrors.   
      
      
    DC> Hmmm... I love spy shows and novels, a better one (but   
    DC> similar) is on the tip of my fingers but can't recall this   
    DC> AM. I'll try to provide some recommendations.   
      
   Looking forward to it.
