Cruelty. The emotions and thoughts inside a human being before they act out a cruel act of violence.
As I am knee deep in preparations for directing William Peter Blatty's LEGION, I am researching, reading and watching everything Blatty related, and came across this scene from The Ninth Configuration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VDYaS6Lpvk&feature=player_embedded Stacy Keach is wonderfully terrifying in this scene! This scene is just another confirmation to me about why Blatty is such a fascinating story teller. The worlds he chooses to explore are amazing to me.

The Ninth Configuration is an amazing mindfuck of a movie. The bar scene is right up there with the Near Dark bar scene as an ode to dynamics. These days (Old Coot Mode: engage NOW) if you get a fight in a bar, all it takes is one punch and it is a flurry of activity and wire tricks and quick cuts until everything has been demolished in 25 seconds.
These two afore-mentioned bar scenes take their sweet time and play like a well-executed NIN song.
