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.

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.

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.

[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.

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.

Praying won't solve your issues?

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.

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

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?
