As sexual license expands, true individual liberty tends to diminish.

"Do as thou wilt"?
Maybe for a select few.

Just let any of us slaves try it should it come up against any of these burgeoning Draconian laws (on occasion even when emulating the debauchery presented as good by the role-model media), and just see how long we'd remain free to walk the streets at will. More like, "do as thou wilt" -- with thy cattle.

This was a truly brilliant piece. You outdid yourself. Scathingly accurate critique! This is what happens when people see no higher purpose in life nor spiritual values, nor a genuine God, but put their stock in materialism as their ultimate value.

For lack of an alternative because the video on the plane wasn´t working properly, I tuned into this rubbish and could not believe my eyes or ears. People would do good to completely steer clear of anything Hollywood and even on television. The satanic cult of Canaanites is attempting to subvert all of reality. People need to resist this trash vehemently, because its influence is insidious and cannot be escaped.

What shocked me were the scenes, which appeared to be outtakes, shown after the "credits" were rolled, which you do not make mention of in your article.

The two main characters were sitting at a dining table and some crazy woman, who I did not remember having seen in the picture itself, was ranting about how mad she was and how she was "going to eat his head and drink his blood". I can´t remember who"he" was. The other two characters were listening to that woman intently and laughing their socks off. Is that supposed to be funny, the idea of "eating someones head" and "drinking his blood"? This depraved parasitic idea of vampirism was portrayed as a funny joke, which most people ignored or brushed off. That is the problem, people do not take anything seriously that they see in movies because after all, it´s just a movie. Which is exactly the point.

Last April I rode with a Catholic group on a chartered bus to my state capitol to lobby the state reps of our city. About half the passengers were students from Catholic high schools. Once the bus was underway, the driver ran a movie - now a standard policy on most modes of mass transportation.
I don't know the name of the movie but it was typical crap made for teen consumption these days. The first scene was at a prom or high school dance.
The behavior and dialog of the characters was very dissonant with Catholic culture, and soon as one of the other girls in the movie called another girl a slut, one of the event coordinators had the driver turn the thing off.

Don't get me wrong - ten years ago I would have thought that was 'prudish', but then I was still lost in the fog of iniquity. Hollywood is the 'holy wood' that the dream weavers use to cast their spells. Their job is merely to plant the seeds of bad attractions and bad advice in our minds. They know that even tolerance of the 'entertainments' they churn out, compromises everyone that's within ear shot of it.

There needs to be a voice crying out in the wilderness. A voice that tells the simple
truth without apology.

You are one of the very few number of those voices.

In my humble opinion the only hope for mankind is to get back to God and His commandments.
Because here in lies integrity, love, hope, trust, truth, honor, grace, real beauty, and the path to
all good character, and the solution to every inharmonious circumstance under the sun.

When this nation turned it's back on God and His Son Jesus Christ...that was the beginning of the
end. All the sickening things that you describe in your article are only going to get much worse and more widespread. The further people drift away from their creator the more unbearable their lot in life will be. Every day we read in the news some new atrocity that was UNTHINKABLE not long ago. I would love to be an optimist...but sad to say the future for mankind looks bleak.

It's important to remember that movies were not like this as recently as two decades ago. Two to search out are "Mosquito Coast" with Harrison Ford and "Falling Down," starring Michael Douglas. Both feature strong men addressing the dystopia we live in head on, although Douglas's character breaks down at the end, hence the title. We're talking early 90s, here, and culturally we've gone far into the toilet since then.

One thing I love is watching film noir and comedy from the 30s through the early 60s; what I hate is waking up to the reality of the downward slide that has brought about the Judd Apatows and Sacha Cohens of this world.

Thanks Jeffery

"Master and Commander" was another notable exception to the trend.
