I agree, they should have the series in every classroom from pre-k thru 8.

What was the movie about the 80's?

There is a lot more graphic violence and sex in movies and TV shows that you would rarely see in movies in the 1970s and even 1980s.

And video games seem to be way out there.

Strays probably would have received an X rating in the 70s. But it is kind of average for bathroom humor movies in the 2023s.

I "THINK" the OP was OK with the movie, but found the coming attraction unacceptable. I "think". If both are rated R (The feature and the coming attraction) I really see no issue.

Question for the OP: Are you a nun?

For at least 20 years, probably a lot longer, previews/trailers have been rated PG-13. No idea what the OP was harping about. Lack of detail leads me to think this was just a trolling effort.

BAMBI! Mysoginystic violence. Toxic masculinity. No Bueno

Dumb Money is not out yet. It is supposed to be released later this month.

However, it is rated R for pervasive language, sexual material, and drug use.

Irregardless of this how do you really feel about this topic?

We are in the right state for it.

I agree - 6 pages about a worthless subject, when the world is awash in many serious problems. # 1 involving reflected heat waves.

"Barbie" is obviously communist-inspired.......after all, she's a PINKO.

What movie did you go to watch that showed this preview. Normally previews are rated the same as the movie you are watching. Did you go to an R rated movie?

Apart from that, good family entertainment! :icon_wink:

I hate to be the contrarian here, but I, sort of, like to see explicit sex in movies. It has motivational potential.

When I was a teenager, I believed........ANYTHING goes.

Very Sad!
 

Not sure why anyone would expect The Villages to be some perfect mecca of wholesomeness. After all the Villages age groups would have become adults in about the 60s and 70s when Woodstock and free love was in the air. Was I dreaming when I thought (?) I watched a late-night TV show called "Saturday Night Live" that did its best to break all the rules of sexual repression through outrageous humor that it could.

Imagine how TERRIBLE it would be living in Sweden or Australia.

we never go to the movies anymore. They are always a disappointment.

that'a boy there @jimjamuser..nothing like a bit of stimulating conversation here

I get that the OP was talking about the PREVIEW of the movie Dumb Money. And so, I watched the full trailer, put out by Sony pictures. The basic premise of the movie: It's a "based on true story" story about the GameStop stock phenomena, and how Wall Street had a major freak-out because of it.

Here's a little clue for the Puritans among you: F-bombs happen even in The Villages. Some folks drop them in almost every sentence. Some pepper their speech more cautiously, somewhat akin to a "mild" salsa that isn't really mild, it's just less spicy than "medium."

Davidson in particular is known, both in real life and in movies, to make generous and copious use of vulgar verbiage. It's kind of his thing, in addition to his freakish appearance and generally inappropriate behavior on talk shows.

Because it was a preview, it would have been prefaced with a blurb: "This PREVIEW has been rated r, and approved for audiences age 18 and up" or similar. At that point, before the preview actually begins, Puritans and Virgins need to shut off their hearing aids, until the preview is over.

It is all subjective. One person's art is another person's trash.

Anybody here see the play The Book of Mormon? I saw it in Minneapolis some years back. It was raw, coarse, obscene...but at the same time riotously funny. I can't remember any time I've laughed as hard as I did at that play. Some--a few--folks did walk out. The rest of us enjoyed ourselves hugely.

Interesting, though, how the Mormon community reacted. Some were there, enjoying the play as much as the rest of us. At the end, though, they were out front handing out cards that read (in paraphrase) "You've seen and enjoyed the movie. But would you like to know more about the real Church of Latter Day Saints"? Which I thought was a really classy way for them to react.

I, personally, am NOT a praying type. However, I also believe that "it takes all kinds to make a world". I think praying works for SOME people. I also assume that, on average, people who pray are less likely to be criminals and violent evildoers. They won't be perfect people, but, at least, they are trying to do the right things. And they may be very happy people for the acts of praying.
.......I tend to prefer individual people praying as opposed to the organized church-going type of group prayers. I have seen too much worldwide negativity that occurs when one religion dislikes another religion. Like ethnic groups, religions often separate more than unify humanity. Many people get a lot of personal satisfaction, humanity, and wisdom from organized religion. Possibly, overall, it is a good thing. Myself, I just see a lot of negatives. So many things divide people and organized religion has a history and the power to do just that.
........I guess that it gets back to being a good thing that people are individuals and have differences.

Better than the usual climate crisis comment.

Nevermind, that was a few posts earlier.

We saw it in London some years ago and agree very funny. Makes fun of almost all religions. With one major exception Muslims.

On the way out lots of the cast and theater employees were saying hi to the folks leaving and got into a discussion with the manager.

Asked him what did he think would happen if the Muslims were shown in a bad light. His answer was they would burn the place down.

Slippery Slope
 

Be careful when selecting the standard by which we judge others by. When a Pyronie's commercial is our standard it alone says a lot.

Take what you want and leave the rest.
 

[QUOTE=pneteam;2255817]Attended an Old Mill movie last night and was blown away by the filth that was throw in our faces. Some coming attractions are bad, but this was the height of obscenity. Having to be captive to such profanity for 5 minutes made us sick. I would think the Villages majority would not even think of going to this movie, yet it has landed here. How very sad.[/QUO

Personal decisions.

[QUOTE=CTKID;2256476]Guess you did not know that you could have left at any time.

We feel the same way with what’s broadcast on TV. We were looking for a good series to watch and most any of the. We new series out have a lot of profanity, nudity, and sex scenes that should only be on porno movies, “F” this “F” that. Now, we only watch series from 10 years ago or older. Much more enjoyable to watch. We are tired of having this filth in our face! We are opting out!

Prayer is a powerful force and it does work. Just yesterday I prayed and received all of the following blessings.
Prayed for my sister in poughkeepsie to have success with her hemorrhoid operation and all turned out well.
Prayed for Uncle Melville to find some joy in his life and lo and behold he found a lovely lady at the square dance festival that he's shacking up with.
Prayed for the strength to confront my Nasty neighbor, Elijah about peeking into my bedroom window at night. I gave him the dickens and insisted that he stop his invasion of my privacy.

My prayers are always answered. You just have to pray for the right things at the right times.

If you're not having good luck with your prayer efforts, let me know and I'll pray for you to have better results with your prayers.

What problem are you referring to? There is a better life to be had once we pass on to the afterlife. We will rejoice. If praying won't solve my issues I don't know what can.

First time reading these threads. Very entertaining.
 

Wow. I didn't know you could be held captive in the movie theater.

Learn something new everyday.

So really all the OP needed to do, was pray that the previews for the movies would all be non-vulgar.

OR MAYBE

he should pray that he grows a stiffer spine and loses some of his puritanical sensibilities, which went out of fashion in the 1700's.

I started reading the series of Outlander over 20 years ago. Like all books, this specific series is wonderful because the reader can envision the scenes and characters. The author did an excellent job in her description of characters, scenery and historical events. The reader can also involve themselves in the sex scenes or skim over them, as their wishes in any other book (there are not nearly as many as in the tv series).
However as a woman, I just love looking at the character of Jamie without a shirt on the tv series, lol.

Back to the previews of upcoming movies, I totally agree with the OP. I have also been to movies (such as comedies) and found the previews of movies with violence and the "F word" used as every word.
My ears won't fall off, but I don't talk that way and don't know anyone who does Also, I could have brought an underaged guest which would have been very inappropriate.

That Dumb Money trailer does have a lot of cuss words in it. Not sure why they would do that knowing full well some little kids are going to be in the audience and will probably be repeating the words.

Bad marketing maybe?

It's an R rated trailer, and should only be shown in R rated movies...

Sooo, how many "little kids" are going to be in the audience?

The OP's?

Must we tolerate the gutter?
 

First we overlook evil
Then we permit evil
Then we legalize evil
Then we promote evil
Then we celebrate evil
Then we persecute those who still call it evil.
