I am a wuss and cannot stand to see stories about violence done to even animals. (Although I am a strong supporter of the death penalty and love movies where the bad guys get what is coming to them.) I don't know that I want to see the movie because of the violence depicted, but I will gladly buy a couple tickets and donate them to someone who wants to see it but doesn't have the money to spend. Perhaps FR needs to get behind such an effort for a worthy cause.

Indeed, it is from the political left where the chill wind blows. We boycott movies as individuals because we don't want to see our money support people like Julia Roberts who publicly says we are in the dictionary between reptile and repugnant. They are the ones who create the blacklist at the top to try to destroy someone's career.

"I am a wuss and cannot stand to see stories about violence done to even animals."

You echo my sentiments exactly but I went to see it anyway.

I cannot overstate the anxiety I experienced, just thinking about going to see it.

It is not as bad as they're making it out to be.
In fact, "From Dusk To Dawn" is much more "violent" and "gory".

If you think you'd be up to it, buy the ticket, go to the movie and try to stay.
You can always leave whenever you want to.

I can't even explain my compulsion to sit through something which I feared would be too much for me.
I just knew I -had- to go and throughout the movie I felt like I was being given the strength to endure watching it.

[Bear in mind this is coming from someone who hasn't seen a movie in a theater since ET first came out].....;)
