"Saw III" fans -- read this
The writer A.S. Hamrah had a brilliant piece in yesterday's L.A. Times on why we like torture movies so much. An absolute must-read for fans of the New Horror and "Casino Royale," and Hamrah correctly connects the dots to Abu Ghraib and points out that Mel Gibson is being pilloried for the sins of others. I have yet to hear a defense of Torture Porn movies that goes beyond "Uh, I just like them." The question still hangs there: Why do you like them?
