I care if there is justification.

A movie like Saw is violent and explicit just for the sake of attention and cheap horror.

A film like Seven is grotesque because Michael Fincher wanted the world to be real.

If not, there's torture porn fetish going on? I don't know...

Well, I guess in my nerdy case, I like grotesque special effects and makeup. I often have more fun watching making of documentaries of graphic horror films than the films themselves. It is childish, I know.

I don't think it's childish, AT ALL!! I love those things, as well. I love all the extras, on DVDs, talking-about how whatever kind of movie, was made----including, when I watch the movie, with audio commentary; in-fact, I've watched more-than-one movie, where the Director's commentary, was as entertaining (if not, more), than the movie, itself!!

My main focus seems to be stuff commonly targeted towards kids to teenage boys. Stuff like Star Wars, Nintendo games, Dragonball etc. While I don't watch much gore apart from Tarintino films, I can enjoy it since when it goes that over the top it stops being violent and in a sense becomes an aesthetic.
