Subject: RE: BS: Films I just cannot watch easily!!
I simply WILL NOT ... no, make that CAN NOT watch any violance of any kind. I was raised in a home where extreme violance was a common occurance. The last film I saw in a movie house was "On Goldon Pond." I barely remember that we, as a family of five, went to the theater showing of "JAWS" As the tenion started to build, I simply stepped into the aisle and left. I was surprised and delighted to meet my youngest son in the lobby. Without a word to anyone, he also had decided on his own that he didn't need that shit.

We were in a mall and we had a delightful hour and a half, having all kinds of ice cream and watching people. We still talk about that day as one of our best. Bob Nelson ... movieless in Everett ... and not missing it a bit!
