horror...

been reading alot about the torture-murder of sylvia likens again the passed few days... and i feel so sad and sickened by it all. i was thinking about trying to do something artful, something thoughtful, something painful with her story but now i'm thinking i might not have the stomach for it. the facts are just too bad and there is absolutely no light at the end of the tunnel. it's so bad, in fact, that i'm currently thinking it was not only tacky for a movie to have been made about this, but morally abhorrent... yet another movie i won't be watching. my buddy mike watched it and said he immediately wanted those 2 hours of his life back and that, months later, he's still trying to shake the filth off. this is the large reason why, try as i might, i just can't watch horror films: i don't find torture to be entertaining. it breaks my heart. and the story of sylvia likens is basically evil incarnate. i feel wounded just from reading the journalism on the subject and the coroner's report. horrible. i don't think there's a word that accurately describes how horrific and debased this story actually is.
