Is Horror the Ultimate Form of Escapism?
CatBusRuss is not a practitioner of evil, but he is a fan of the art. No one deserves to die, but what is a good story without a few casualties? And if the deaths are just the same through out like the Bond films before the MPAA gave us G, M, R, and X, the audience would soon be tired of bloodless cinema. Celebrate cinematic sins whenever you can.
