QUOTE OF THE WEEK: Martin Amis

"As the credits rolled on Child's Play 3, I felt no urge or prompting to go out and kill somebody. And I also knew why. It's nothing to boast about, but there is too much going on in my head for Chucky to gain sway in there. Probably the worst that Chucky could do to one is to create an appetite to see more Chucky, or more things like Chucky. What we have to imagine is a mind that, on exposure to Chucky, is already brimful of Chucky and things like Chucky. Then, even if you mix in psychopathology, stupidity, more deformation, dreams of omnipotence nd sadism, and whatever else, Chucky is unlikely to affect anything but the style of your subsequent atrocities. Murderers have to have something to haunt them: they need their internal pandemonium." 
— Martin Amis, 'Blown Away', The New Yorker, 1994
