I rather like hijacking a thread;)
I never said anything about Bush - I was getting on Bill O'Reily's case (and otehr media pundits). Liberal intellectuals have just as shitty a track record as Conservatives in the field of telling us what's good for us and trying to define quality.
It is smug intellectualism that breeds the kind of thought process that say "these films are bad for society." Inherent in the comment is that "it won't affect me, but other people of weaker will and lower education might see something like this and copy the actions."
I hope Midnight Meat Train kicks ass, but Clive Barker is certainly no stranger to "torture porn." His own greatest creation, Hellraiser is a flat-out celebration of the limits of human pain endurance.
