This is also true of Nick Drake and Elliot Smith. I don't get all misty-eyed - same as I don't actually feel guilty about watching movies as entertainment (I call it "selective apathy" - the human technique of being able to desensitize themselves from watching real-life tragedy) - but it niggles at the back of the brain. It's interesting behaviour, which gets to the crux of my thread: why/how do we remain passive? As for 'Crash' (1996), rocknblues81, I have seen it several times, but prefer the book. I always imagined Liz Taylor would die in an automobile accident whilst a man with a fetish for crashing cars masturbates at the moment she is decapitated. It was more appropriate than vodka and vicodin. Why do you ask? |
