“It's the American dream, sort of like starting a successful whorehouse franchise. So let's call him what he is: a pimp with a heart of dough. He's abusing women and making a profit off it. That's that.”

Uh . . . no.

He's making movies in which actors are simulating violence. People are PRETENDING to be abused and tortured in front of a camera and they're getting paid for it. Fantasy. Not reality. And so-called “torture porn” is nothing new. Ever hear of the Grand Guignol?

As long as nobody is actually harmed, chacun à son goût.
