I just read that when Reservoir Dogs was released, Wes Craven walked out during the "Stuck In The Middle With You" scene.  Wes Craven.

WES CRAVEN.  The man who made Last House on the Left, couldn't take an offscreen ear being cut off to a Stealers Wheel song.

Maybe it was the "offscreen" bit.

Hm, yeah.  That does admittedly make it more disturbing.

But... have you seen Last House on the Left?  It's fucking brutal.  Well, apart from the dualing bumpkin cops.

Wes Craven doesn't do "subtle".  He was probably pissed at the lack of lingering gore.

You're right.  And, in retrospect, I suppose I should have tried to gather a few other examples of people mellowing sadly...
