I watched a movie last night. Twice. In a row. I watched it because someone here had made mention that they were reading the book. I watched it the second time because I had missed a couple of scenes due to piss breaks, getting a beer, and interruptions by SWMBO.
I halfway expected something like Secondhand Lions. It definitely was not.
The movie left me disturbed. A little bit of that feeling after you've seen or been in a bad accident. A feeling that for the grace of God, there go I.
It left me in a mood to ponder some of the questions asked in the movie, an some of the points left unresolved.
What it did leave me with the most was the realization that at times, we are all sometimes only inches away from very evil people and things.
It makes me want to carry my gun more often.
If you haven't seen it, watch it, or read it. If you don't like blood and gore and edge of your seat tension, don't partake.
The movie may change your view on the people sharing oxygen with you, and just how close they are in reality.
Later, there was a special on Drugs, Inc. The meth situation in this country is frightening. The whole drug thing is frightening. And, as in this movie, there is a small chance that a ripple from its evil pond may flow into your life.
