Dimmukane:
Never seen Herzog. Been meaning to get around to it, but if you say his stuff is cynical, I'm gonna watch as many as I can back to back this Saturday.

I hated Hostel. The torture scene was the least interesting part of Audition to me. Don't be a Thought Cop.
I'm not saying the commentary in Cannibal Holocaust was particularly intentional or planned, just that it's there. Things can have accidental repercussions, as evidenced by this very thread.
Liz:
I would hope not. I have yet so see it and I plan to keep it that way. I have not heard good things.
KvP:
Well, in the same way that the zombie movies of yesteryear were largely about Vietnam and that jazz, the torture porn movies are purportedly about post-9/11 anxiety or torture used against suspected terrorists or whatever.
öde:
If it is milky tea (brown/white) then that aspect represents the immigration and racial mixing facilitated by the empire. The soggy end of the biscuit dropping to the bottom of the cup represents the empire biting off more than it can chew. The sugar shows the effort to cover up the bitter aspects.
Race to the Tate Modern!
