I condemn all indecent and immoral motion pictures, and those which glorify crime or criminals. I promise to do all that I can to strengthen public opinion against the production of indecent and immoral films, and to unite with all who protest against them. I acknowledge my obligation to form a right conscience about pictures that are dangerous to my moral life. I pledge myself to remain away from them. I promise, further, to stay away altogether from places of amusement which show them as a matter of policy.

I'm lost here.  What is the point?

Keep in mind, too, that this is a secular article.  To my knowledge, there is no magisterially binding discipline within the Catholic Church that forbids, under pain of sin, the viewing of any particular film.  IOW, there isn't an equivalent of the Index Librorum Prohibitorum for films.  The natural moral law would govern, but unless I am missing something, there is no "list of forbidden films".  The Legion of Decency was merely a cooperative effort of clergy and laity.  Good advice, but not binding under pain of sin.

The first ten minutes of Carrie (the "locker-room scene") are a danger to any young boy struggling with purity, but aside from that, the film is strong, yes, deals with the occult, yes, but is not morally offensive on any level.  And I'm here to tell you, in the rudderless, often-extremist world of the "conservative Novus Ordo", there are women almost as over-the-top as Carrie's mother.  One in particular comes to mind (not a good story), and I have to think many of us have been buttonholed by "little holy women" who insist, it's not negotiable, that Our Lady IS appearing at this place or that one, and you'd better believe it!  In that fever swamp of "I'm going to write a letter to the bishop about that", you get some real doozies, some real pieces of work.  In fact, that is one thing that appeals to me about the traditionalist environment --- you have a "firebreak" of sorts against the worst excesses.  There are isolated exceptions.

Just in case anyone's interested, I called and cancelled the AT&Ttv (which is now DirecTV Stream).  My family didn't like it, too many changes to what they're used to, and we're keeping Spectrum.  I can't afford two systems, and I can get much OAN content for free via Roku on OAN Plus. 

Good enough.  I'm probably backing into watching too much TV as it is.  The SSPX warns against relying upon television for some very good reasons.
