I'm a little worried for our heroes in Chicago, as they've always seemed put off by disturbing stuff and this is the equivalent of jumping into the deep end of an empty pool.

I really think they need to bring Sam in for a three-way review on this one. It would be glorious.
I feel like I may be too lazy for this.
I also had Salo in my queue for quite awhile and decided that the upcoming After Hours was as good a reason as any to sit down and watch it. I checked it out last night and would absolutely recommend it if you have an interest. Obviously, just know what you're getting into (and I have yet to read a review that exaggerated anything on screen). This is the kind of movie that makes you want to take a Brillo pad to your head to get the images out afterwards, but holy cow is it powerful and far from exploitation schlock (which I often like for the record.) I can honestly say that I haven't stopped thinking about it all day and completely understand why it is considered a masterpiece.I'm not sure if I'd ever want to watch it again, but if it means anything I moved the special features disc to the top of my queue today. Can't wait to see the documentaries.
