But, given Hollywood's infatuation with violence, I was not surprised that "No Country for Old Men" won awards. Blah! If they like violence so much, come and work in an emergency room as I did for so many years. That will satisfy their taste for blood and gore, up close and personal. Thank heavens for Netflix where I can rent European and classic films and documentaries on the arts. I don't like loud music or car crashes or graphic scenes of body parts scattered around the landscape. I don't think that makes me a wuss; I think it makes me an intelligent, sensitive person.
