I'm not really squeamish at all. Gore and gratuitous sex/nudity just aren't my cup of tea. I find them pointless and sophomoric.

The curb stomp scene in American History X is one of the most harrowing and effective displays of violence I have ever seen on a screen. And it was done without a single bit of gore. Millions of people looked away in horror and cringed because they didn't want to see something that was never actually shown.
