It's best to disassociate yourself from the truth. It's nice to avoid the images of pain, cruelty, and suffering. It's easier to opt for the pretty package: nice shoes, restaurant meals, crispy salad and a barbecue. Fun fact: the ones who are connected with the business, rarely eat meat.

Life of Pi

Ang Lee 03:56:00
We, humans, don't learn by rules. If I tell you not to put your fingers into an electric socket, you'd most likely ask why. They have two holes, if you're bored the best way to spend your time is to stick your fingers there and wait for the result. If you say you're not so stupid as to even try, I'll ask whether...

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
