I don't think it does at all. Watching an actor portray our Lord in film isn't much different that listening to a story about the Lord or reading the stories in the Bible. In these cases, we are not "venerating", worshipping or bowing down to a movie or book. Do these media draw us closer to the Lord by causing us to think on what He has done and learn from Him? Then, that is their purpose. They are also NOT something Almighty God forbid us to do. We are, however, admonished to read and study Scripture and to train up our children in the ways of the Lord.
So, sorry, Sal, Boogieman's "notion" is not discredited.

Several years ago, my wife and I were at a Lutheran Church for the baptism of a nephew. We were in the balcony, which gave us a good view of the images in the stained glass windows. One of the images was of the Good Shepherd. As I looked at the image, my heart was touched by the tenderness with which Jesus gazed upon His sheep, and it occurred to me that Jesus looks on us with the same tenderness. In this moment of grace, this medium truly drew me closer to the Lord.
