Yeah, I always think it's interesting that people can watch gory movies yet can't watch a graphic rape scene. I think it's because rape in movies is like, one of the last remaining taboos, up there with killing kids and such. But yeah, it's like, you just watched a guy get decapitated with a chainsaw, yet this makes you get up and walk out?

For what it's worth, I am so squeamish that I have a hard time with any kind of super graphic violence. Like, Salo - I will probably never watch that. I don't watch movies like Saw or Hostel or anything like that, and the one time I watched a Final Destination movie, I found it repulsive, because it was just an excuse to kill off a bunch of people in really fucked up ways.

That said, I will put up with it if the rest of the movie has redeeming qualities, like with Watchmen or Silence of the Lambs.

Yeah, I heard about the microwave scene, and I just wasn't sure how the mechanics of that would work. I guess they only wanted realism to go so far, huh?
