Why is Saw II being available on DVD Valentine's Day a marketing angle? I didn't even know there was a Saw II and furthermore ... why is there a Saw II and I think there will also be a Saw III which, again, why? Any movie that is "Rated R for grisly violence and gore, terror ..." and you can stop right there because I'm out. Not going to watch that and I actually don't want to see the commercials or hear the trailers for them on the radio or however else it is that I knew this movie was coming out. At first, I thought it was just now coming out, like to the theater, but upon further investigation (thank you Google and IMBD) I discovered that all the commercials are for its release to DVD. ON VALENTINE'S DAY. That makes no sense to me. Maybe if horror movies were my thing that would be cool? I don't know. Do horror movie fans think that Valentine's Day is the perfect day to buy their sweetie Saw II? Maybe. I guess. I don't know. I'm not a horror movie fan. Nothing against horror movie fans ... although secretly I think it indicates there is something wrong inside your head, but I wouldn't say that to your face, ooops. Just did. My bad. Anyway, it's really my own fault that I have such an aversion to horror movies. I made the mistake when I was around 11-ish ... I guess ... of watching movies I wasn't supposed to be watching whenever I had the TV to myself. We had HBO back when HBO was just movies and not all of these other totally awesome shows that I don't get to watch anymore because I don't subscribe to that particular, entirely too expensive for my cheap ass, cable package. I remember watching the movie He Knows You're Alone while I was ... alone ... and my parents were out somewhere and my sister was most likely in her room on the phone because it was somehow permanently attached to her ear and she would lie on the floor talking to her best friend Kimmie and they would listen KFRX - Lincoln's Rockin' Radio Station Friday Night Dedications, taping, on cassette tape, (that I am now going to see if I still have because that will be some awesome audio) songs they may or may not have requested for dedication to whatever boy happened to be ignoring them at the time, songs like Hard Habit to Break by Chicago or Say It Isn't So by Hall & Oates who BY THE WAY were on Will and Grace last week and I STILL LOVE THEM I do not care what you say. Love them. Times one million. And all that listening by my sister and Kimmie was done on the sly because there wasn't supposed to be any of that devil, rock and roll music in our house, but my sister got away WITH EVERYTHING. Anyway, that is all she ever did back then, especially when my parents were out, so I was free to watch whatever I wanted and so I watched forbidden movies. And then proceeded to have nightmares that would bring my mother rushing into my bedroom in the middle of the night where I would then have to confess to watching the forbidden movies, but I don't remember getting in trouble, maybe it was because I was HYSTERICAL from the nightmares induced by the movies so maybe she figured that was my punishment and it just now occurred to me that my Mom probably didn't even tell my Dad, who was the dispenser of all punishment in our house because HE WAS THE HEAD OF THE HOUSEHOLD DAMN IT, ask the Bible, it will tell you so, and I should have gotten grounded or something for it, but the only thing I remember is not long afterwards, we suddenly didn't have HBO anymore. Hmmm, I probably owe my Mom a thanks for not ratting me out to my Dad.
