Dark and Stormy Nights
Last night I went with Lance to Applebee’s for a snack before seeing “Harsh Times” starring Christian Bale. The movie was more of a character study than plot driven – and in the end Bale’s character didn’t change or incur an epiphany – he actually kind of lost steam portraying a cold-hearted violent man scarred by war and killing, who then breaks down and cries when he finds out his Mexican squeeze is pregnant because he almost killed her when she told him – what goes on?
It made me dream violent dreams – my mother getting hacked to pieces – all sorts of horrid images of death and blood and gore.
I’m done with violent films – all they seem to do is pepper my memory banks with graphic images that have no purpose in my life except to shadow my mind.
