The Grey

[KevinAK]

Ah, Liam Neeson, what have you done with your career? Taken, The Grey, Clash of the Titans, Wrath of the Titans, Battleship…what is a fine actor like you doing in such silly, silly movies?

YOU WERE ONCE MICHAEL COLLINS!

You forgot Unknown(which I actually liked) and the completely unnecessary Taken 2.

He also had a supporting role in The Mission.

Someone, somewhere suggested he was taking roles like these as a means of keeping busy after the death of his wife a few years ago.

But if an an actor like Laurence Olivier could do the original Clash of the Titans, I have no problem with Neeson doing the remake.

Movies like The Grey aren’t usually my thing; I tend to avoid horror movies. I honestly didn’t expect it to be too horror-based. In fact, based on the trailer, I thought it was more a survival type thing, like I shouldn’t be alive * only fictional. So when I saw it I was appalled. The gore bothered me, but even more so all the blasphemies and denials of God (Especially by Liam Neeson close to the end). I tend to have OCD religion and have been fortunate enough not to repeat what he says. What do you think? Is it just a movie? Or have you been negatively affected by it? And are you usually affected by movies like this? For me seeing it on TV, in a song, etc. brings on scruples.

Ps. If you are prone to scruples and have not seen the movie, I highly recommend that you do not look up the scene to which I am referring. It might induce even more scruples.*

I am very sensitive to visual media. The only horror movies I watch have to be more on the suspenseful end. Its even worse with the love scenes. I can handle them when they’re short but why do some movies make them sooo long and nasty??

Anyway, I despise blasphemy in movies and shows. I remember when I saw the preview for that “Borgias” show and got all ticked. Even though that’s not really blasphemy but more glorification of corruption and sin. Which I don’t get. People complain that there used to be corruption in the Church and then they turn around and celebrate it…

Yeah, I know how you feel though. Some movies get me all scrupulous and I think: “Should I be watching this.” They purposely make them that way in my opinion. Our society’s morals have largely gone down the drain and the culture reflects that.
