"I LIKE RAPE, SO SUE ME!"
Over at moviebuffs, sundayschildx writes a little rant about Hitchcock's Frenzy, in particular the rather graphic rape scene. An addendum tells us that she has deleted replies disagreeing with her and disabled comments on the entry, along with calling said repliers "assholes."

Enter polyester_queen, who, in a separate entry, calls her out.

And fun was had by all.

ETA: Bing! Snacky's Law.

	For real. I think being disturbing is kind of the point of rape scenes, if used well/appropriately. I'd be way more disturbed by a movie rape scene that was glamorized or treated as being no big deal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The casualness of the violence in A Clockwork Orange is part of what makes it so disturbing. Although it never glamourised it, which this idiot seems to think they should do for rape scenes, lest they offend her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, exactly. I meant "no big deal" as more from the attitude of the film makers. Clockwork Orange never approves of violence, as obviously the entire point is to be disturbing. As compared to, say, old James Bond or something, where women get slapped around and you're supposed to just take it in stride as nothing unusual. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ah, good example. Sometimes I wonder why I like the old Bond films. :/ (Reply to this)(Parent)
