My buddy at work last night was mentioning this movie and asked if I had heard about it. I said no, and he told me that his wife (he and his wife are born again Christian and very devout) went with one of her friends on the weekend to see it. He said that she walked out because she found it highly offensive. When she got home she refused to talk about it, only saying that she regretted going to it at all. He and I were wondering what that was all about. I forgot about it till just now when I saw the posting hear. It's ashame that Hollywood nowadays has to hoodwink people into the theaters instead of just being upfront.

On Sunday night, I watched the president give his speech on Fox. I've never had cable T.V., just the garbage that's on the airwaves. For about the past six months, with the sole exception of DVD movies, I have not even watched T.V. After the speech, I left the T.V. on and "Family Guy" the cartoon suddenly came on next. I thought I would watch it, as I used to find it pretty funny. Within TWO OR THREE MINUTES I counted about four or five insults about Christians. Click, the T.V. went off. I cannot even get two or three minutes without being slammed or insulted. I guess the T.V. will remain off for a while.

In a way, perhaps it's a good thing. I've been doing more reading, and I think that's a much more worthwhile past time anyway.

I hope you were able to get a refund on the admission to the movie.

Family Guy makes fun of everybody.

"It's ashame that Hollywood nowadays has to hoodwink people into the theaters instead of just being upfront."

They have to lie about their agenda, otherwise, who would buy into it? That goes for the leftist agenda as a whole; if you tell the people you want to enslave them for the sake of your idea of manmade equality, how many would truly be for it?

I did not leave because I had people with me who usually could care less about "culture" or politics, BUT surprisingly, after it was over, really panned the movie.

It's the kind of movie that is so over the top preachy, cynical, and deliberately trashes any and all values, that it hits you in the gut, no matter your politics.

Mainly it is purposely deceptive in its advertising, pretending it is something its not.

One thing about "The Family Guy"- that show is an equal opportunity offender. It has made me LAUGH and it has made me turn off the television. I rarely watch it now.

Good for you! I first got rid of my TV about 12 years ago. My son was about 8 at the time and he hated me for it for about a year and a half, kinda off like an addict who got his drugs taken away. He finally started reading a lot more and got over it.

I tried cable TV again earlier this year (had to borrow a TV from a friend), but after 2 months got rid of it. I get most of my news & info from the Internet & the WSJ, so if I get another TV it will just be for watching DVD's, probably from NetFlix and the local library.

By the way, I thought the Narnia movie was fantastic!
