I don't even know.

I hate scary movies. It's a fact. They just plain scare the shit out of me. I suppose I'd watch one if I had a cute boyfriend who was way into scary movies, and then I'd have to use it as an excuse to cuddle up during it... But other than that, I really don't like them. None of that "Saw" or "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" mess for me. No thank you.

There's an exception. True stories. I get a serious kick out of movies that are based on true stories! I totally love those books that are all about the serial killers and worst murderers of our time and things like that. Really weird, I'm aware. Anyways, movies like "Catch Me If You Can", "Erin Brokovich", "300"... All those 'Based on a true story' movies. I've never seen "The Exorcism of Emily Rose", but I'd like to. Kind of like "Exorcism" (which I have seen,) but based on a real girl.

ANYWAYS. I have a point. I was watching "Monster" last night for the first time. The one with Charlize Theron playing prostitute gone serial killer, Aileen Wuornos. Good freaking movie, but one thing really makes me think. This woman, yes she was freaking insane. Just insane. But the way she got to killing just bothers me. (duh, right?) She had gotten in this car with this strange man, and they drove to the middle of the woods so that she could, well, you know. So they're talking, and then he turns freaking psycho on her. He knocks her unconscious, ties her up, beats the crap out of her and rapes her a few times. And not always with HIM... If you get my drift. He was being seriously brutal about the whole thing. So, he goes to his trunk to get something, and she wriggle free of the ropes binding her in the car. She grabs the gun out of her purse and waits for him to come back. He walks back to the door and she just shoots him. He falls to the ground, and she keeps shooting him. She unLOADS those rounds right into the guy, and when she ran out of ammo she started beating him with the gun. He was so dead.

Here's where I think she went wrong. (Aside from becoming a prostitute at 13, of course.) She drags him further into a field, covers him up and leaves him there. She changes into some different clothes that she found in his car, cleans the mess out of his car, and drives off as if nothing happened. Right there is where she made the mistake. She SHOULD have gone straight to the Police and been like 'Look, this guy just raped and beat the hell out of me.' She would have the bruises, the cuts, the dna and the fresh blood to prove it. She could have told them this, and then told them that she shot him, and she would have been fine! Turns out that the guy had been previously convicted of violent rape a few times in the past, so I doubt the Police would have had a hard time believing her when she said she killed him in self defense.

Anyways. That pisses me off. Instead of telling the authorities what she did, (which was JUSTIFIED) she tried to cover it up. Because this guy messed with her head and violated her so intensely, she couldn't bring herself to work the street anymore. I mean, she DID, but right when it was time to 'get down to business' so to speak, she shot them instead. So yeah. Spent 12 years on Florida's death row and was executed in '02.

Woman could have gone free. But noooo.


That's all.
