I figured instead of posting in this thread I would just answer this guys rant here. He appears to have totally misunderstood me.
My point is not that this stuff shouldn't be made because of some moral high ground I pretend to occupy. Jesus just look at the past four years of PA. I'm saying it shouldn't be made because it's crap. It's poorly done. It's trite.
I have nothing against scary/gross shit when it's done right. I loved dark city, I think Tim Burton is a genius, I loved the crow (the comic more than the movie)The Ring is bad ass, I could go on and on. BUT that sort of thing is easy to get wrong. It takes a special kind of person to be able to pull off something like that without it feeling juvenile.
Just my two cents.
Oh, and I expect to see you all on PSO this week. I'll be the short red and black ranger with the big gun.
