We talk about Sam Peckinpah, violence (esspecially the use of practical special effects to convery visera more viserally) and his film Straw Dogs. This is where we discuss consequences of violence as they relate to masculine interactions and male/female interactions and the inevitable misogyny that results. We talk about the bad guy in Tron (David Warner not Moses from South Park) as a mentally retarded character who in a Of Mice and Menesquescenario kills a girl. It’s kind of hard to explain but it gets pretty dark and heavy.
Zack is a Peckinpah expert so it’s a good conversation … even though it sounds like it was recorded in Cheyenne Mountain.
