I was just looking at an ad for the new movie, Shutter. The catch phrase at the bottom of the ad said: "The most terrifying images are the ones that are real."
Gee, no kidding? Man, I thought that pointilliste watercolor of a bear eating a man was SO much more frightening than a videotape of the same thing!
Has our society truly hit the rock bottom of banality? Even more ironic and stupid, of course, is the fact that Shutter is a *movie* and nothing depicted in it is real...
*sigh*
And while that crap clogs the collective cloaca of movie theaters, why can’t the Mira Mesa theater host In Bruges? Looks like I have to go to Hillcrest to see it.
