    Wow, that is a cool site, and I will save it for future reference!

    Bobby: you can get your book from Abe Books for the best price.

    As I get older, my intolerance for disturbing scenes grows. Not a moral intolerance, but a visceral one. If DH is watching a violent movie, even if I'm doing something else but can hear screams of people in pain, I have to close my ears. So, I'm pretty sure, based on your comments, that I'll skip Night Bitch, the movie. But DH might want to see it.

    I'm the same way, Catherine. I wonder why that is. I didn't used to be such a softie.
    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    Make me the third here to feel that way. Violence, whether aural or visual upsets me. Maybe we're sensitive Empaths? I feel violence viscerally--and it upsets me. Just don't find it entertaining--or desirable in videos and movies...(or in real life).
    peaceful, easy feeling

    Add me to the list. I don't do horror (unless it is the old, campy stuff without today's blood and gore), or overly-violent action movies, etc. For me, life is too short to have such negativity that I could easily avoid.

    OTOH, I am not a fan of sticky sweet Hallmark-y stuff either.

    Agreed. I have reached the age where I can’t watch violent stuff. I don’t watch war films, Holocaust films, and Tarantino films. And no one would ever accuse me of being an empath ��

    Maybe I was half asleep in the movie Night Bitch, but I don't remember a lot of violence. Just a very odd movie. I too can't tolerate violence on TV. There is just too much of it on screens and in the real world.

    I am in the non violent group, I used to watch Criminal Minds, Law and Order SVU and now cannot. It began in 2016...Too much ugliness in the world. I watch mostly British Mysteries. We're lucky to have WETA UK with Comcast and it is full of good stuff for me.

    We just watched the Residence and it was more like a British mystery, like a quirky Agatha Christie.
