    You know that each TV Spot, newspaper ad and virtually any ad for the movie says

    "Rated R for Crude and sɛҳuąƖ Content, Pervasive Language and Some Drug Use."

    So you were going to see just how crude and sɛҳuąƖ the the content was, how pervasive the language was and how many drugs "some" drugs are?  Really?  You went to see how bad it was?  As if the TV spots couldn't confirm it for you?  

    Going to a movie like that isn't information that I think people should share with others.  Would you go to a porn theater to confirm that porn was really playing there?  


    Actually I never saw the commercials or TV spots for this movie. I didn't know what it was about.

    Before I go see a movie (which is EXTREMELY rare), I always make sure I know what it's about before I go see it. Saves me from wasting my time.
    Please ignore ALL of my posts. I was naive during my time posting on this forum and didn’t know any better. I retract and deeply regret any and all uncharitable or erroneous statements I ever made here.

  • There have been very few good movies morally speaking. It is too bad also that even those with plots with substance are corrupted in some way or another. Hollywood, as was mentioned by Traditional Guy 20 earlier, is the same today and as yesterday morally but more obvious and forceful now.

    Hollywood has been discussed here, but there film industries in other parts of the world that encourage just as much if not more depravity. That could go particularly for Mexican shows and movies, for example, although Mexico had films that actually had substance during their golden age of the 1940s and 1950s, but even then, there were some bad movies made there like in Hollywood. The upside would have been that the Church was much more likely to appear or be expressed in some manner in Mexican movies since Mexico was Catholic (in spite of its Masonic government which still persists today).

  • I have no idea.  When it came out, I went to see it 'for a critical examination"  & also to give support to a Catholic undertaking - in other words putting my money where my mouth is.  I rarely go to movies as most are filth or just plain stupid  so why should I fill my mind with such trash.  It would be a sin.

    Do you see old Hollywood films from the 40's and 50's?

  • No, as a matter of fact.  The only film I remember seeing was "The Robe".   I rarely saw movies back then either. My real life was too full.

    Well Hollywood was filthy back then as well being leftist and pro-Communist. My real life is full as well which is why I rarely see movies anyway.
