Horner even had spine to tell Cameron and Hurd to f**k off

And they only got away with it by successfully arguing that since the violence was perpetrated by a shark, it's not like kids could go out and copy it.

Covenant's Neomorph bursting scenes are pretty visceral and cruel, too.

The back-burster and the foolish Captain?

The film does have some really nasty moments in it - there's the tail whip that rips a character's jaw right off their face/head! And the shower deaths.

Mind you, Texas Chainsaw Massacre came out in 1974. It was pretty graphic for that time.

It's actually not. There's almost no blood in the whole thing - it was more the tone that was extreme for the time.

I was going to say this, TCM was filmed for a PG rating (no, seriously). There's very little blood or on-screen violence, no sex or nudity, and no profanity.

Tobe Hooper just learned the hard way that showing less and implying things makes the movie 10x scarier and he earned himself an R-rating. see also: Jaws, where serendipitously the mechanical shark didn't work so Spielberg had to imply everything and it ended up making it more effective.

For that matter, see also: 'Alien', where Ridley Scott recognized that the Alien suit was a bit questionable if you saw it full on, so you don't get a good look at it until the end.

Quint's death was more graphic than anything seen in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974).

I love the part when

Spoiler

Godzilla leans his face near Mothra, looks like he's smiling, and she lets him know (love her chirps) that Kong is not the enemy and they need to work together to face Skar King.

I'm also watching Monarch TV series I like it so far.

I love the score riffs similar to Terminator 2 Judgement Day.
