So, to take a break from reading and writing about some french philosopher who claims sex and death and religion are all one and the same (George Bataille, if you care, and it's more complicated than that) I decided to take a break and watch some television, specifically Hellraiser.  Little did I realize that the movie was all about sex and death (and religion, though they kind of don't point at that as much as sex and death) are all connected in icky ways (it's also more complicated than that, but still mirrors Bataille's writings closely).  Which severely warped the essay I was writing.

Possibility 4: charge gathering for some cinema based magick.  By ruining other people's enjoyment of a film, they gain power over films and can make reality more movie like.  Perhaps.

Heckles even the movies he enoys
