Neimenovic, you're definitely watching films with the wrong girl.

Meh. She's a bit of a jesus freak. Other than that she's alright

Like in A Clockwork Orange, the violence is necessary to what the film is about, and isn't simply a gore-fest.  And, of course, by today's standards, it may seem rather tame.

The violence may be tame compared to some of today's films, but you'll be hard pressed to find a modern film with a premise that's more disturbing than "A Clockwork Orange."

Yes, it is the thinking about what is happening that is so disturbing in A Clockwork Orange, rather than the images themselves.  The images serve the purpose of conveying the ideas.  With modern slasher films, it is the images that tend to be disturbing, and there is typically very little thinking involved.  Indeed, most of them require that one not think too deeply about what is going on, as otherwise one will dismiss them as being just too silly to be taken seriously.

I never thought of, "What goes around, comes around" in mystical terms. It seems more like a common sense thing to me. If you behave like an asshole, people won't like you and that will likely have consequences. If you behave well, people will like you and that will be beneficial.

The thing that always baffles me is the idea of "jinxing" something or someone. It just blows me away that someone will take pains to avoid mentioning that a baseball pitcher has gotten through six innings without allowing a hit for fear of sabotaging his chances of completing a no-hitter. I really don't get what is going through their mind. Seems like a brain defect.
