On some basic level perhaps so. Movies are usually all about glorifying things that are antithetical to Christianity. Blowing 50 bucks on a dinner that we could have prepared ourselves is probably not the greatest thing either.
You sound awfully Puritanical.

Thanks...I admire the Puritans commitment to God. :-)

I don't think going out to dinner is something that we need to spiritually grow into avoiding. God really doesn't mind if we eat, drink and be merry from time to time.

I don't think God mind either. But do you think that Jesus would have gambled for money or condoned his disciples doing it?
If it were written in scripture:

Matthew 22:17 So Peter went down to the gaming tables and cheerfully loseth his money to the gamers.
Matthew 22:18 So Jesus, seeing Peter sayeth "How did thou doest Peter? Did thou breaketh even?"

Somehow I don't think Jesus would have this attitude...do you?

He probably would have found much of what we moderns do to be wasteful. Like stroking our egos to end up posting on round number posts.
