lateralus,

You say the reasons for my disagreeing with the decapitation of man, the recording of it, and then the free distribution of the video aren't obvious? You mean you don't see why I think it's wrong for anyone and everyone to have access to something like that?

It's not a case of morals. Morally I feel it is wrong, but that's why I personally don't watch it.

It's not a case of sanity, either. I do strongly feel that for a person to take any kind of pleasure from seeing a man get his head hacked off then they must have something wrong with them. I do genuinely believe that. There is no normal reason for a person to want to watch that over and over, to enjoy watching that over and over. How can you defend that? How can you honestly say that is normal behaviour? It is just plain wrong.

Horror movies are a completely different matter. You said that "The only difference is that one is real, the other isn't.". I agree. There is a huge difference between wanting to be frightened by watching a movie. It is enjoyable simply as a social occasion, if not as anything else. So many people can watch horror movies because we know it's not real. (i'm talking about Hollywood horrors here, you know the kind..) Again there isa huge difference between being frightened by what we know to be fictional events and getting pleasure from watching a man having his head hacked off.

I haven't seen Cannibal Holocaust, and I don't plan to. Horror movies aren't my thing, personally.
