Sounds good to me.
Not even remotely funny - OR defensible. Grow up.

I watched a movie last night on Netflix called "The Disappearance of Alice Creed" that started out as a decent movie.
After I had gotten interested the movie and around the 30 minute mark, the 2 main male characters suddenly embrace and start kissing. At first I was revolted and then the revulsion changed to anger. There was nothing in the Netflix description to indicate that this was about gays. I personally believe homosexual activity is wrong and sinful. I remember the first time I ever heard of someone being homosexual and i knew right then and there in my heart that it was wrong.
I do realize that other peoples views differ and I respect that, but I have a right, I think, to live my life without having someone else's views and ideals being forced upon me. My concern is that children in some homes are allowed to pick and choose movies from Netflix and other places. As children, they are vulnerable and susceptible, and are like hungry sponges seeking new ideas and information. Do children have the life's experiences to make logical decisions on what is right and wrong? I'm sure some do, but I am also sure that not all do. I fear for our future.
It's my opinion that movies should have a rating such as "H" is they contain homosexual content. I am totally offended that I wasn't warned in any way about this and I now have a distrust for Netflix. Not one word in the description of the movie gave me any clue. /rant off
You are right. I didn't read anything except the description:
Thinking they've cooked up the perfect crime, Vic (Eddie Marsan) and Danny (Martin Compston) abduct young heiress Alice Creed (Gemma Arterton), only to find their surefire plan unraveling as they attempt to negotiate a tidy ransom in director J Blakeson's twisty thriller. As the steely Alice lies tethered to a bed, an escalating battle of wills -- and wits -- ensues when setbacks shift the balance of power.
Genres: Gay & Lesbian Movies, Thrillers, British Movies, Crime Thrillers, Psychological Thrillers, British Thrillers
This movie is: Gritty, Suspenseful Availability: Starz Play Streaming
I see now that in genre it's listed as gay lesbian. It's not Netflix's fault, but my own. Up to this point I had never encountered anything like this so I really didn't know that the description given was not enough to know what the movie contained. I am enlightened.
Quote; “How about we force gays to wear rainbow stars so you can avoid them in your daily activities?”
Sounds good to me.
I pulled up the Netflix title page, as I just finished watching something else.
At the bottom of the title page, just below the length / date / R rating is: GAY & LESBIAN MOVIES - THRILLERS
It would seem that adding an H rating would be repetitious.
I hate fag movies so i can understand where you are coming from. There is a reason why they don’t sell that much because it caters to a very small percentage of the population.
I still remembered Stargate U on cable and two of the supporting actors suddenly turned fudgepacker and kissed each other. That was the part I went to the fridge for beer and my fratmates were mad when i got back.
It’s called “Culture Jamming.” They throw it in your face from so many directions in so many ways and it’s supposed to numb/dumb you down so you’re soon chanting “They’re Here, They’re Kweer; We’re Down With It!” in an ecstatic march chanting with other drones marching Market Street-style pride, beneath a rainbow and a dove, finally living in utopian peace hand-in-hand with all life forms as one united harmonic convergence, a true celebration shared by comrades of every stripe, including but not limited to those comrades who are more equal than other comrades.
Exactly, Freedom... Even if the government itself wasn’t trying to shove it down everybody’s throats (no pun intended), Hollywood, the Media and the Arts in general, WOULD continue to push it. It is in their genes, (and in their jeans).
Sounds good to me.

Yep, I see it now. I honestly don't care what someone else does as long as they don't flaunt it in my face. I do know that homosexuality is wrong for me. I will definitely be more thorough in researching movies from now on. I hope I didn't stir up a hornets nest, but It did piss me off because I thought I had no warning. All my fault though.
I really like the quality of a lot of British TV.
Downloaded and watched a mini-series just last night called “Boy Meets Girl”
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1225790/
It was very good.
I like the Sherlock Holmes tales and have not yet started on the new 2010 British series... I want them all in bluray quality before I start in on them :-)

Umm, Romans, looks to me like abercrombie_guy_38 forgot his "/sarcasm" tag, and you bit right into the bait.
His comment was edgy but ironic; yours was over the line, not funny IMO. I hope for your sake that you forgot your "/sarcasm" tag too, else you really ought to read up on what Talisker pictured in #27. It's not appropriate to joke about, without some sign that you're joking.
Doped and Deranged.
ack...I haven't watched TV in over 4 years except an occasional football game when Bama is on, and a few American Idol broadcasts. I stick with the internet for all news and entertainment. I had no idea that this stuff had migrated to TV, but I should have known. /shakes head
No need, our military has invented "GAYDAR":
And if you can't get hold of one and need a quick self-check:
I always go to IMDB and look at the parental guide before watching any of these movies. If you know crap like this is going to be in the movie you can avoid a lot of frustration and anger.
The IMDB parental guides sum up all the potentially lurid scenes and often tell you exactly how many “F” words you will have to endure.
MH - male homosexual content
FH - female homosexual content
I’d be satisfied with one rating which told me which movies are homosexual propaganda.
So I could actually watch other movies again.
As it is, odds are a movie will be carp. So I don’t bother.
Actually that's not a bad idea. A lot of straight guys like watching girl-on-girl action.
Assuming it's action. A lot of female homosexual movies do nothing but "talk about the relationship". We get enough of that at home, thanks.
