This has probably been discussed before somewhere, but I was just thinking about it...
The fam and I went and saw Star Trek today, and it was the first time I'd been to the theater since Prince Caspian came out. I was really surprised (or rather, not surprised, but horrified) at how inappropriate most of the trailers are nowadays. I know the movie was PG-13, and they raise the "standards" on the previews, but still!
And the movie itself was great, but it still had some unnecessary things in it. I just wonder how long we as Christians should be watching most modern movies. You'd be hard-pressed to find a recent, decent movie that's actually enjoyable, In my humble opinion. I'm a big "eye candy" person; I like action and cool FX, but it's hard to find a clean one (not to mention one I haven't seem too many times). It's hard for me not to want to raise the bar, with thoughts or "That movie looks cool, and I'll just ignore the bad stuff." or something along those lines. When a movie looks really good to me, it's difficult not to want to somehow and somewhat justify the junk by saying "It has a good storyline." So where shall we set the standard? I know there's some passages in the Bible, such as Philippians 4:8, that show what is good to think of (or keep in our minds or watch).

I just realized there was another thread for this.... Sorry
