Natural Born Killers

"Once upon a time, a woman was picking up firewood. She came upon a poisonous snake frozen in the snow. She took the snake home and nursed it back to health. One day the snake bit her on the cheek. As she lay dying, she asked the snake, "Why have you done this to me?" And the snake answered, "Look, bitch, you knew I was a snake."

Positively one of my favourite movies of all time. There are many, but this is definitely one of my favourite. I mean, the microscope on the role of the media in making people that shouldn't be heroes, heroes through their sensationalism is something I talk about all the time. It's also the reason that I decided against my media studies degree; I really ended up not wanting to be a journalist. I don't think it sucks that much, so don't feel bad for me. You probably weren't right? haha

Anyway, Mickey and Mallory are such misguided souls. I love when Dr. Reingold says that Mickey & Mallory know the difference between right and wrong, but they just don't give a fuck. Well, the Doctor said they don't give a damn. Not fuck. But, most people do know the difference, it's just the choice they make. Those that aren't sure of the difference are psychopaths, and not everyone is a psychopath, although I've met a few sociopaths in my life. Like Mickey and Mallory, they know the difference too, they just don't care.


I think I might make Saturday movie arvie...
