That's one reason we try to support, watch, rent any of the christian movies that come out, in the hopes that one day there will be more made. When the kids were home full time we used a tv guardian that blanked out all the bad words and put a substitute phrase at the bottom of the screen, it took me several months to get used to it and quit trying to figure out what they were saying!<BR/>I must live in a bubble I think at times because no one I know talks that way!

We LOVE to watch movies as a family, but we are particular about what we watch. We have found lots of movies we like, but we also do a little research before watching. It is amazing what passes for entertainment these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-78577132507198714402008-07-27T00:54:00.000-06:002008-07-27T00:54:00.000-06:00It's almost impossible to find good movies any mor...It's almost impossible to find good movies any more. We have some specific rules for movies and that pretty much cuts out about 95% of movies from Hollywood. <BR/>God for you for doing right!Tori Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859488167015452608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-19213450406574533902008-07-26T22:28:00.000-06:002008-07-26T22:28:00.000-06:00Wow, it's good to hear other like-minded people on...Wow, it's good to hear other like-minded people on this topic! <BR/><BR/>The same thing happened to me, only I was at a friend's house (they were not a Christian family).<BR/><BR/>That was very awkward because I was a guest in their house, but I got up and hung out in the kitchen after the first 15 minutes, too. It's just not worth it.Chel's Leaving a Legacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09020780288006659118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-53133662375862635242008-07-26T08:39:00.000-06:002008-07-26T08:39:00.000-06:00Amen and amen!I can't ever imagine a time when tha...Amen and amen!<BR/><BR/>I can't ever imagine a time when that much filthy language is EVER necessary.PastormacsAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14985442182751751782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-5180764265955234572008-07-25T23:30:00.000-06:002008-07-25T23:30:00.000-06:00I would have turned it off, too, Susanne!

We NEVER get to go to the movie...You are so right. We NEVER get to go to the movies, and even renting a movie is a very rare treat, so we are very, very picky about what we rent. <BR/><BR/>I leave the movie section so disappointed when I find a movie that I wanted to see only to discover that it is rated R. This is one of the movies that I wanted to see. I am glad that you let me know. I am not normally organized enough to check one out ahead of time and rely on the rating. <BR/><BR/>We made a HUGE MISTAKE recently in renting Rambo. It was beyond violent. It left me so very sad to realize that that type of violence exists in the world. Sylvester Stallone researched Burma and the civil war. He made the movie, and a lot of them received death threats while filming. <BR/><BR/>Don't they understand we are smart enough to "get it" without all of that?! There are some really great stories out there. I usually just wait until they come on tv.Shawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397183122566441689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-71022587774323965192008-07-25T17:41:00.000-06:002008-07-25T17:41:00.000-06:00I couldn't agree more if I wanted to.

I just get so frustrated with movies nowadays, as far as I'm concerned there are different ways of portraying anger without having to use those words.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448386993712122412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-70362384186476661342008-07-25T15:22:00.000-06:002008-07-25T15:22:00.000-06:00I couldn't agree more Susanne. A few years ago, I...I couldn't agree more Susanne. A few years ago, I was so convicted as I was sitting in a movie theater thinking, "I brought Jesus into this place with me, and this is just horrible!" I felt then that I just could never watch another movie that was R rated. It is so hard to get those mental images and awful words out of your mind once they're in there.<BR/>I'm proud of you for saying it. There is absolutley no "artistic" value in any of that garbage.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937532276250199445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-81156173784160278392008-07-25T14:14:00.000-06:002008-07-25T14:14:00.000-06:00Amen, sister!Amen, sister!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-71934390093544033432008-07-25T10:42:00.000-06:002008-07-25T10:42:00.000-06:00I'm with you on this one.
