If I read through this correct, abandoning the code is considered to be a good thing by the author.
I strongly disagree. But I do have my own code. If there is a raw sex scene, any form of homosexuality or any political jabs then we move to a different channel. Minor nudity and a little cussing is OK.
Our favorite movies are actually pre 1968 because they actually have plots, are cleaner and it’s refreshing to see the good guys win all the time. Now there are a few modern day movies and TV shows that fit to our liking, but they are few and far between.
Regarding pre-code days and the original Tarzan movies, there’s one where Jane (Maureen O’Sullivan) is moving so fast that her loin cloth flips up and exposes her private part. You have to be fast to see it, but it’s there.
Your code is similar to mine. These days I record movies that sound good, & immediately stop watching & delete if I find leftist nonsense. I fast forward thru sex scenes, as they’re usually irrelevant to the plot.
There are actually some post 1968 movies that are REALLY good ( no sex scenes, no homo stuff, etc. ); if you want a list, just drop me a FRmail.
