great example ...

tennis anyone ..

although that was a direct sam peckinpah dig ..

Well, there was this analysis done of the Looney Tunes cartoons once--to break them down and define their rules and patterns. One of the strongest rules was that the characters did not react in pain to the violent acts committed upon them. Fall off a cliff, blown up with dynamite, etc., but no scream of pain, generally speaking. They often just stand there for a second and then fall down.

But there were exceptions to this rule from time to time.

Porky Pig had a problem with a gopher once, and he tried to trap it and kill it, but never succeeded. At one point the gopher, smiling sweetly, popped up out of the ground and began strolling over to Porky in a really friendly way. Porky, being caught off-guard, watched the gopher strolling towards him, not noticing that the gopher was holding a big piece of wood behind its back. When the gopher got close enough, he HIT Porky on both his shins--WHACK! WHACK!--and then ran back to his hole really fast and disappeared.

The pain did not hit Porky for about two seconds. Then it hit him and he screamed, "EEEEEEEEE-YOW!!!!!" and crumpled to the ground in agony. I have always loved this scene.

i think it depended on the type of violence ..

whenever something small was to bite someone big (a crab on the cats tail, etc) there would be a big 'YEEEEOWWWW' and the victim would jump 20 feet in the air ...

but yeah .. the 'mechanical violence' .. they either said 'mother' in a small voice and fell over .. or walked away in an accordian shape or flat like a peice of paper ... and so on

The world has become too damn P.C.

For quality entertainment you only have to get in your Delorean and set the timer back 60 years.

Why do you watch horror movies? Cause they interest me.

When did you start watching horror movies? I watched Child's Play when I was about 5...then I probably didn't watch another one till I was 11, 12? I dunno. I can't remember.

How do you feel when you watch a horror movie? Good.

What is your favorite horror movie? I have a few. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Strangeland, May, Halloween, Carrie, Ginger Snaps, etc...

Yes, I'm weird - to you.
Don't forget pedantic, overly analytical, psycho, too moody, a character assassin, and most importantly - I'm boring, VERY boring - you wouldn't want to leave that out.

Urgeok - My initial statement wasn't really even intended for YOU.
It's not as though I didn't realise that YOU actually made a serious reply in addition to your "other" reply. Since we're quoting, please NB:

"if those are the only answers you choose to provide - those are the only answers that will be taken into account."

I hope this makes clear what you seem to have missed, you were not really the one I was referring to in the first place.
And no, I don't want to be a mod. However better a job I think I could do is irrelevant. My main consideration is that I clearly receive enough criticism already.

If there's any other comments or ignorant statements anyone would like to make about me, or if anybody else wants to jump in on the "we hate cheeba" fun, please feel free to do so...it's not as though I've not heard it before.
