It had been a long time since I went to the movies, so I guess I didn't realize how bad they are getting!! Anyhow, the movie I chose was a comedy....BAD decision!!!! The movie was extremely raunchy, and one of the main characters was so disgusting that he was unlikable. I eventually had to walk out, just because of the profane amount of raunch. I can feel myself becoming more easily offended as my relationship in Christ grows, which is a good thing....but it just bums me out that our society has degenerated like this, and I can't enjoy a simple form of entertainment. I was SO disappointed, and had to ask the Lord to give me better discernment.....I felt like I just wasted the $$$$ that He blessed me with. I guess I really need to research the movies that I choose from now on, which is crummy, because it just makes it a big hassle. That was awkward....never in my life have I walked out of ther theatre before. BTW, this was a "teen movie," but it made American Pie look like Gidget. Now, I don't spend a lot of time with teen-agers, but I really hope that this is not reflective of their normal behaviour, because if it is, I pray for this nation!!!!! Praise the Lord for Godly young people!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yod Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 recently I had a couple of hours to kill and thought I'd go watch "transformers" but when I got to the cinema, that show didn't start for another 2 hours so I asked what was starting "now" and bought the ticket to see the latest harry potter. After the first 30 minutes I began wondering what the attraction to this story is? It was overly complicated and no real action to speak of... I kept thinking that eventually something in this story would be worth sitting through. I watched almost the whole thing before I realized that nothing was going to redeem this wasted time and walked out. Yeah, there was the overt witchcraft aspect but I'm not worried about it now. The premise is stupid and the story is boring. I don't see how "God" [the one the bible describes anyway] could possibly have a problem with some American made teenage movie. That only makes it obvious that you don't know the "God" who created you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a teen, and I like to know what I'm walking into. o_O What was the movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I originally wanted to go see Hot Rod, but it wasn't playing. So I picked another comedy....It was Superbad. I definitely recommend that you DON'T see it. Not only was it lame, but it was filthy and absurd. There were some funny moments, but overall, it was trash. The only reason I chose it was because Bill Hader from SNL was in it, and I'm a big fan!!

LOL.....No, not really. I saw parts of previews on TV, and that's how I knew Bill Hader was in it. A lot of filthy talk, a raunchy and unlikable lead character, and drug use. It was terrible!!!!!!!!

You didn't pick a very good one to go see. Although congratulations on walking out. Quite awhile ago I went to Reno 911 Miami... and I have been ashamed ever since for not walking out of it. I was with my girlfriend and two others, and I just was too afraid of what they'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That year I had to walk out of more than I got to stay in! That's when I decided enough was enough and just quit "Vilewood" all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
