Let me guess: making a profit off a movie is more important than the welfare of our children. Yeah, that's the progressive spirit of Hollywood: The Almighty Dollar.

ok, sorry. didn't know you handle this so strict. but whatever, my original argument remains valid.

why get mad about films depicting something beautiful and fun, like sex, and be disconcerned about something brutal and destructive like violence?

especially as us sex scenes are among the most prude on this planet, people moving under a blanket = not sex scene.

hollywood isn't really hard on the porn side. it DOES produce some of the most graphically violent movies on this planet and no one sseems to care though.

[paraphrased] How can you silly Americans, in your films, glorify violence and yet you are upset about sex?

SEX IS VIOLENCE

KISS THE FIST

KICK THE KISS

Because for better or worse or null -- dislike for graphic sex is seen as a conservative issue while dislike for violence is seen as a liberal issue.

I care.

I get sexually aroused whenever bits of brain and blood fly through the air.

Please don't lie to me, and tell me that you don't.

Under the provision authored by Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind...

Come on Mike, surely I am guessing you have better things to do like cut the defecit, fix social security, cut some worthless goverment programs...They are just movies....they are pretend....

What is troubling Mike, is that you are apparently, just as much a pretend and a fake...looking for a quick political score, instead of doing any heavy lifting.

Some day there will be two versions of those type shows that the viewer may choose from, one for children and another for adults. Then when a show comes on the viewer will have the choice of what to see, or there can be a blanket censoring like with computers.

Well both are fun to watch. Most importantly they are MOVIES after all. Pretend. Make-belive. Special effects.

especially as us sex scenes are among the most prude on this planet, people moving under a blanket = not sex scene.

You must not have seen Monster's Ball. Simulated but pushed the line.

hollywood isn't really hard on the porn side. it DOES produce some of the most graphically violent movies on this planet and no one sseems to care though.

Action movies are fun. I especially love the speech Clint Eastwood gave in Dirty Harry before putting a bullet in the villain's head.

We've reached a point where acting talent has far out-stripped the screenplays. Laurence Fishburne, who did one of the absolutely finest Othellos I've ever seen, is doing crap like the Matrix.
