Violent Media

I like violent media.

I don't know what that says about me, but I like watching stylized fighting on the teevee.

I like watching John Wick fight like it's a job that he is determined to get right. I like watching River Tam fight like it's a dance, a dance that will leave her opponent in fine julienne  on the floor. I like watching Eliot Spencer fight, as a character in the show says about him, like something is trying to get out of him.

I couldn't fight off a Dalmation, myself.  Maybe that's why I like watching people who don't have conciliation and running away as their only options.
