LOL@'Chuckleporn'

I forgot about that. I come with some gems when I post drunk.

I think you're right; maybe I just lump every movie that makes me uncomfortable into "torture porn." ;)

I get your point, though - I think that I lump torture/exploitation into "torture porn" because there seems to be an obsessive reveling about the torture, making me, as an audience member, feel as though the director is getting off to the material - That could be the link.

siorai summed up what I was trying to express; not fair of me to lump in Salo or MBTS into the genre as I've never seen them and probably never will (I think they would make me too uncomfortable).

Lol - I have visions of you thinking long and hard about that post for nearly 2 years and then an epiphany hits and you're 'I think he might be right...'

My work here is done - I can die happy :-)

Now to start getting people to use the phrase 'chuckleporn'.
