By the Numbers

Grindhouse From the summary for Grindhouse on Kids-in-Mind.com:

VIOLENCE/GORE - A woman's car breaks down on a dark road, she walks toward a town, she hears noises, tries to get passing vehicles to stop and give her a ride, and she is knocked down and attacked by several people who bite and tear at her (we hear her screaming, we see a lot of blood squirting and spurting); her remains are then carried off the road.

► A helicopter flies through many zombies slicing and slashing them with its blades which are tilted downward (blood splatters on the windshield).

► A man screams and thrashes while being held by several men, one of them holds a surgical device, one of his testicles is severed, it is thrown onto the ground and another man steps on it (we hear squishing, and we see bloody goo).

► A man's face melts off, and then he vomits his intestines (we hear squishing and see a lot of goo). A man is attacked, his arm is pulled off and his head is pulled apart.

► A young woman performs oral sex on a young man, she reaches up toward his head and realizes that his head has been severed. Another scene shows the same young woman kissing a different young man and his head is cut off mid-kiss.

► A woman brings her boot down on a man's face crushing his head (we see the head buckle). A man kicks a man and stabs him in the chest, and a woman with a stick for a leg stabs a man in the eye and breaks part of the stick off in his eye.

► A woman appears desperate to urinate and holds her crotch. A man has a large scar on his face. A man eats sloppily using his hands.

I'm ok with the oral sex on a headless man, and a boot-crushed head, but WHY are these filmmakers hellbent on damaging our children with scenes of characters discussing such dangerous topics as goals and disappointment? What if they were to mimic this behavior?

(Don't EVEN get me started on the man eating sloppily with his hands!)

No mention of the the slo-mo head-on auto collision?
Where you see each of the four passengers v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y turned into hamburger?

Truly one of the most excruciating things ever put on screen. It's certainly something I never needed to see.

And I can't wait to check it out again on DVD.
