Tales of a Secret Rockstar

I watched the Manchurian candidate on Saturday.
What a movie.
It was intense and creepy and suspenseful.
I liked it, but something about it bothered me.

I think that I don't like movies where there is a sense of unrestrained evil. That's why I have never liked horror movies. This movie was creepy partly because the main characters were pawns to a sort of runaway evil that they were powerless to stop. That creeps me out more than zombie movies. Although the same concepts exist in those movies. This idea that evil sets the parameters for the battle between good and evil. That's a scary thought. Because even if you defeat the physical representation of that evil, the world you live in is still foundationally wrong. That's bad.

It's a good thing the real world isn't like that.
Or we'd all be dead.
Except for my friend Andrew.
He'd have a chainsaw surgically attached to his arm.
