Ha ha! This is exactly what I was thinking! I think Al is in denial, he's clearly trying to scatter a layer of innocence over the cracked crust of his volcanic brain before Frighfest causes it to erupt in plumes of hot filth and globs of molten depravity!

Why are you watching a bunch of gentle human interest films? Is it a palette cleanser before fright fest?
