Certainly, Titus fit the bill: an opera of horror and gore which features human sacrifice, gang rape, loping of limbs and feasts of filial sweetbreads. With the play, young Shakespeare scored a hit, proving that Elizabethan audiences were at least as bloodthirsty as the groundlings that hound present-day cineplexes...
Across the Channel, the European field-sports community has watched these convulsions in disbelief, concern and even with a little amusement. In Germany, hounds are not used to kill game but to chase animals toward hunters with guns.

For his first decade in movies, he danced on the weird side: as a blond goofball in Valley Girl, the blind Vietnam vet of Birdy, Moonstruck's one-handed Romeo, the drifter haphazardly hired as a killer in Red Rock West. With a personality that mixed yelping hound dog with doleful hangdog, Cage raised moping to an art. He suggested a man wrestling with himself to hide the psycho loner or lover within. He was sweet on the surface and wild at heart...
