Era Might Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Yah, they seem to be really harsh against violence, and less demanding when it comes to sexual innuendo. But I think the sexual stuff is far more dangerous, because although mindless violence is no good, most people aren't tempted to go blow things up when they see it in a movie. Lust, on the other hand, is an immediate and perpetual temptation for most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thy Geekdom Come Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 [quote name='kateri05' post='1012016' date='Jun 25 2006, 04:18 PM'] really? i just had friends say that they thought it had a really graet message! well shucks... [/quote] It may have had a great message, but the way they tried to show it was drenched in sexual perversion. By the way, in reference to the comments on the bishops' ratings...they're often inconsistent. The Matrix got an O, but the sequels, which were far worse, didn't.

dUSt Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Wow. Nacho Libre gets an "O" for morally offensive? That's ridiculous. I'm not taking these ratings seriously anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morostheos Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 It's funny, today I had two different Catholic friends who saw the movie tell me it was really good and that I should go see it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missionseeker Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 [quote name='Era Might' post='1012082' date='Jun 25 2006, 06:05 PM'] Generally, I think the USCCB reviews are pretty good, but they baffle me sometimes. A lot of people probably think the reviews come from the Bishops, but it's just a subcommittee in the USCCB. It's not like the Bishops are getting together reviewing films. Take the reviews for what they're worth. There are some good independent lay reviewers out there (eg, Steven Greydanus). [/quote] He almost WAS the USCCB movie reveiwer. they hired tha tother dude though. (My mom is friends with his wife and I am staying at the house of one of his wife's other friends) his website (for anyone interested) is www.decentfilms.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Well, maybe they just have a higher tolerance for multiple references to sexual acts, almost "cartoonish" sexual activity, a guy using his wife for sexual pleasure (and having no problem with that), crude references to sexual activity between dogs and inanimate objects, very flashy and scantily clad women, gross bathroom humor, and a close up of Adam Sandler in an almost naked fatsuit. It was distasteful at the very least...even a secular person needs to admit that, but to a Christian, it was...ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
