Another stoopid Saw movie????

I am not surprised if the latest installment of the Saw released in the US recently will reach our shores soon. Although i havent seen the movie nor have any inclination on 'visually degrading' myself to the bloody gorefest, I am concerned about the level of violence in movies today. Critics and fans may say.....C'mon, it's just a movie. However sometimes we can't unsee what we have seen on movies. If the movie does make it into our theatres, I hope our censors have a happy time snipping away large chunks of the violent scenes. The first Saw was interesting, albeit gory, it has a plot and storyline. After watching the first one out of curiosity, I promised myself i will never see another movie of this nature again.
What does graphic violence do to audiences?
Producers use graphic violence in films, with the intention to produce an adrenaline rush in the audience. Films of this nature not only desensitizes the viewer to the victim's pain and but also to the debasement of the perpetrator. In many instances, these films glorify violence and the persons who commit it. How has entertainment come to this level when people can enjoy watching others suffer in the most excruciating manner?
Violence in movies might make some kids aggressive. Surprisingly in the first Saw movie, I noticed there are kids in the midst of the audience.
Pain and suffering and death are parts of life. Certain movies which portray these elements are trying to deliver these messages to the audience. The terror in Saving Private Ryan obviously advances the message of the film, and so do other classic tasteful war epics like "Bridge over River Kwai." These films depict real events and human suffering to educate people on the harsh realities of wars and may it never be repeated.
May the “Saw” mini-franchise, dulled into a bloody gore-fest bore after only three installments, rest in peace.
'Anti-tasteless horror movie' critic. Free our brains from these kind of movies. People who watch it are degrading themselves.

ZT.

thumbs up for a beautiful day!!!!

this is actually a song by U2 and to me, its a really meaningful song as it tells one to appreciate life!!!!!


The heart is a bloom, shoots up through stony groundBut there's no room, no space to rent in this townYou're out of luck and the reason that you had to care,The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere.You thought you’d found a friend to take you out of this placeSomeone you could lend a hand in return for graceIt's a beautiful day, the sky fallsAnd you feel like it's a beautiful dayIt’s a beautiful dayDon’t let it get awayYou’re on the road but you’ve got no destinationYou’re in the mud, in the maze of her imaginationYou love this town even if that doesn’t ring trueYou’ve been all over and it’s been all over youIt's a beautiful dayDon’t let it get awayIt's a beautiful dayTouch me, take me to that other placeTeach me love, I know I’m not a hopeless caseSee the world in green and blueSee China right in front of youSee the canyons broken by cloudSee the tuna fleets clearing the sea outSee the bedouin fires at nightSee the oil fields at first lightSee the bird with a leaf in her mouthAfter the flood all the colours came outIt was a beautiful dayDon't let it get awayA beautiful dayTouch me, take me to that other placeReach me, I know I'm not a hopeless caseWhat you don’t have you don’t need it nowWhat you don’t know you can feel it somehowWhat you don’t have you don’t need it nowYou don’t need it nowIt was a beautiful day.......

all of us are guilty of not appreciating the beauty of nature and the wonders of creation...really in our busy daily schedules how many of us actually stop and look at the sky or smell the flowers along the way?

Think about it......

Pick your friends, but not to pieces......

harlow......me again....some days i am free or have creative juices flowing so i can blog and blog....yawn...sleepy me. Hmmmm...just thought about cats, lovely cuddly creatures as they are but ive never had the opportunity to keep one since i'm in a condo...

Do you think cats make good companions? Many people say dogs make better pets, but i beg to differ. Cats are not that'jumpy, hyper' beings like dogs. Refering to my subject title, friends. One line which is always stuck in my mind, 'A friend is someone who understands and ALWAYS lend a helping hand....Nowadays got friends like this meh? Always lend a hleping hand???? Nah....I feel (albiet abit sad) friends nowadays are like convenience stores. You pop into one when you need something.......Correct me if I'm wrong, altho' i'd not like to generalise as well, most of the time, cityfolk are like that. Of course there are still nice people around....I have this friend who treats me as her 'when there is no one around, then I'll only look for her' kinda friend. Yup, she'll call me only when she has exhausted her other chummies (who maybe busy to entertain to her whims) or when she 'happens' to be in that area where I'm in. Sad isnt it?

Well.....i shall not rant anymore although i know i'm quite a melancholic ( a topic on personality type which i shall blog on another day), I am just missing real friends. One who can offer you chocolate and tissue when u're down and even buy you flowers for no reason!!!! Well...am i a friend myself? I'd like to think so,

By the way, here's a lovable kitty for your viewing pleasure.

Luv N Hugs,
Me

The hills are alive........................

Perhaps i have a youthful childhood, perhaps i have an ignorant youth.......so the song goes on. Sometimes i wonder is a person who he is as a result of his/her upbringing? As for me, life is a mystery......there are many things in this world which are unexplainable......

Finally i ve managed to upload a family pic on the left as you can see.....Sigh, family....been with them through thick and thin, bad times, good times...who I am is a result from who they are...... infact sometimes siblings share similar characteristics, don't you think so???

cheers...will talk to myself another day...
