Maybe I’m just tired of Batman, or maybe the whole thing was too dark for me. I don’t enjoy watching elaborate, contrived psychological torture scenarios. I’m with you. It was just sadistic for the most part. I don’t mind violence in movies if it’s something like a fair match, or if someone is getting what they deserve (due to their actions backfiring or whatever). But when the people getting hurt are just random passersby or weak, unwilling players, that I don’t care for so much. ---

I saw Taken, I thought it was a good action film, but the series of events was _highly_ unlikely. It’s sort of like the Transporter movies, you have to turn your brain off and enjoy. On TV I regularly watch Life, Big Bang Theory, The Office, The Simpsons, and Family Guy. I also try to keep up with NCIS, and watch reruns of Married with Children and Drew Carey.
