Or is it just my age??
I would quite happily watch slasher movies and all sorts of violent films before - tbh, once i grew out of my teens and early twenties didnt really care for them - yawntastic.
But now - i have lost count of the times that i have had to make DP turn off films because i have not been able to cope with the violence. Sometimes its ok, but it depends on what is going on - but i just find it upsetting. I remember watching wolf creek a few years back - i was fucking traumatised, i didnt realise really what i was watching (having switching on a third of the way through) and then had to bloody well see it though to the end hoping for some sort of good ending, their wasn't one - i promise you, it fucked with my mind! I would have shrugged it off before. I can't even watch stupid horror flicks like Scream - i get upset by it - not scared, just upset.
Bruce willis films are banned, general cops and robbers films are dodgy, i even made DP turn off lethal weopon over xmas. There was something on the TV the other night and some guy was screaming, i was on the lap top and coudlnt stand it, i had to go to bed!!
DP thinks im barking!
