i can remember watchint it (spit on your grave) with a housefull of people. and we all had a good laugh about it. i think we saw it more as a comedy. look at monty python, why was that well recieved? certainly not for it's craft. it was inane. often without meaning, yet it went down a bomb when it first aired. it has iconic sketches such as the dead parrot sctach and the ministery of funny walks sketch that still go down well. fims that are just violence or sexual assault throughout are very rare. usually borderline porno. porno takes us to the real gratuatous sex a violence films. many enjoy such pornos. most have little craft. they just have a format. of suck, blow, man on top woman on top, man from behind come shot on tits or face. and yet they're watched by millions. then you get the specialists lmao. leather, latex, bondage, and a host of other shit too nasty to think about. thing is there is a market for it, i'd say a fairly large market, going off the number of films made in the porn industry.

i think spit on your grave was a bit like some of the poetry you get from new poets who think that shoc is great. i've read some pedo poems that sicken me to my stomach and seen feedback that says' really gritty, powerful stuff, great writing. i think inexperienced poet. i hate that shit but people think because it's on the fringe it has to be good or great. i say get to fuck. but the fact is, there's a niche for shit like that. i can point to at least five people who write shit like that and as far as i'm concerned not one of them is writing poetry.
