Note that the thread title is also the name of a series of six [or so] videos that were popular some years ago. They were nothing but videos of people and other animals being killed, and often in the most gruesome of cicumstances.
Something that caught my attention is the idea that today, we are not only exposed to death on a scale that is orders of magnitude beyond anything most of our great-grand parents ever imagined, we also see death in a nearly infinite variety of manner not even possible. Through Sci-fi and fantasy films, we see death in ways that are as horrible as hollywood can fashion - all in magnificent detail that is forever a part of the human psyche in a large percentage of the population, world wide.
I wonder if this is good.
