Okay, it's not Anne of Green Gables. Violence-free means only violence
necessary to the plot, without which the story would be contrived, white
washed. Fictional violence, like Clockwork Orange, I avoid at all costs.
Cartoon-style violence that's supposed to be funny, like some of Mel
Gibson's earlier stuff, can be entertaining. I think that's what Urusla
and John are referring to. I admit, though, as a rule I don't watch nature
shows because lions eat zebras. I want going to rent March of the Penguins
but now I'll pass on it.
