    Dear Battleship Pretension,

    As a bossy fan, I don’t appreciate being told I cannot make wild demands and dictate how you run the show. In short, you can’t tell me that I can’t tell you what to do.

    I’m kidding of course, keep up the great work guys.

    I find it funny how when ever you guys have a topic such as offensive vs shocking, I always have completely different movies in mind than the ones you bring up. I had my mind stuck in controversial films more so. which I would love to hear if you think controversial is the same or different than shocking or Offensive. (controversial could be more studio)

    Just some people I thought of that could be in the topic and reasons I think they could be are as follows.

    Rob Zombie: He tends to do some really violent stuff that could be shocking. Devils rejects is like Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer In the way that it some what makes the bad guys more human or at least the main character of the movie.

    Wes Craven: Last house on the left Had to be cut a lot for its shocking scenes.

    Takashi Mike: Visitor Q(have not seen but heard), Ichi the killer And Audition are some I think could be shocking. With what I have heard of Visitor Q it could be Offensive as well.

    Lucio Fulci: Has made some really gory films City of the living dead and Zombi 2 (Dawn of the dead was called Zombi in Europe)

    George A. Romero: Even tho I was not born back then I would think that people were shocked when Night of the living dead came out or even dawn of the dead.

    Dario Argento: has shocked many with his love for killing his female characters in such violent ways. Suspiria’s starting is perfect an example of what I am talking about.

    Michael Haneke/Lars Von: you know…

    Bruno Mattei: Here’s someone for an offensive maybe. He made Jaws 5, T2 before the states made T2 and other rip offs. kinda like a uwe boll.

    David Lynch: I have only seen blue velvet and that was pretty out there.

    David Cronenberg: He started off shocking people with his stories and images that he has put on-screen. The fly being a good example.

    Some movies:
    I Spit on Your Grave
    Evil Dead
    The Exorcist
    Cannibal Holocaust

    Looking at my list I see that most are shocking for the Violence they contain. Anyways I hope this is what you guys are looking for. I enjoyed the talk about john waters and Salo (Salo party just sounds dirty…is it just me?). Have you heard of the people I named? and what do you think?
