And though I couldn't accept a year's screen pass to sit through
"Hostel" or any of its ilk, I agree with Erik 1000%!!!

PS-- For what it's worth department: We feared that, due to
pressure from a particularly meddlesome preacher (remember
"Becket?"), that Wichita Falls, TX, would not show "Brokeback
Mountain"-- despite the fact that Larry McMurtry (producer/writer)
is from thirty miles away-- Archer City, TX-- location . But it
will open at the new Cinemark Theatre on Friday.
"Hostel" is already playing.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] HOSTILE TOWARD HOSTEL
I was in attendance at a screening with Eli Roth in Texas not to
long ago, and while I didn't care for Hostel (or Roth's work in
general) I for one am thankful that hard-core (not in the
pornographic sense that many attatch to the word) horror is making
a comeback.
I cut my teeth on the Golden Age of Slasher Films during the late
70's to the mid 80's and as of late, the genre has become so PC,
watered-down and weak-kneed by catering to the PG-13 teeny-bopper
crowd (as the recent glut of crap with Kevin Williamson's name
attached to it attests) that I thank my bloody stars that a film
like Hostel is even seeing the light of day, much less getting
national distribution. This is nothing more then a drive-in flick
at best, and it's #1 opening was a welcome sight to this ol'
gorehound's jaded retinas.
I'm not delving into the "bad movies/bad tv debate" as it's
pointless here. I'm outnumbered and will surely get trounced by
those with more time (and by those much wordier then I) to make
their case.
I'm also thankful *I* am the one deciding what I watch, and not
someone who thinks *they* know what's good or bad.
If it's offensive don't watch.
Cheers,
Erik
