due to the restrictions imposed by the conservative broadcast television
ratings board, there is a noticeable lack of blood and guts in made-for-television
movies. Go figure. So, in a clever move akin to cutting to a shot of someone
cutting steak after a knife attack (hello match-on-action 101), some MOTW
filmmakers opt to openly abuse melons and large gourds in order to viscerally
convey the trauma that is done to the human body when it is dropped, smashed,
run over, and the like. I am shocked that there are not produce rights
groups denouncing this wanton abuse of vine-ripened actors, but I have
yet to see any sort of demonstration by People for the Ethical Treatment
of Large Seed Pods against any of the below films. Pumpkins are people,
too! If you’re a pumpkin, that is!
