Well that's why we have parents in theory, hehe.

Wouldn't want it any other way. :)

There's so many jokes in MTM that I didn't get at all when I was a child and I'm amazed at how much it didn't underestimate its audience. The Muppets were about mature adult humor from the beginning, long before VMX. They went that far and took those steps long ago. And VMX was an unsubtle...

I'll agree that there is a bit of that. But it doesn't ruin the movie for me. The writing is quality and that's what matters. All I can say, as a grown up who watched the Muppets in my childhood, is that this special gave me nightmares, lol. There was nothing mature in that special, just...

I'm just saying that positive entertainment like the Muppets taps into what we already have. That's a good thing. And in turn negative entertainment feeds into our weaker inclinations. I'm going to go for a random, obscure entertainment reference here, hehe. I remember an episode of The...

I just don't think you get much worse than Sodom and Gomorrah. Or a world where the only people worth preserving was Noah's family and some animals. In my opinion a great overwhelming majority of the time it's the parents. And those same parents blame the media because they can't admit or...

Some parts were downright depressing and that's why I love it, because it had an incredible ability to tug at my heartstrings like very few movies have. But agree to disagree. :)

And according to the Old Testament God punished people back then for doing the same things we're complaining about nowadays. These problems are as old as time itself and nothing new. ;) Then that's who they are as people, and they would be whether there was Television or not.

I saw R-rated movies when I was a child. I was never censored as to what I could see on TV. And to this day my friends think I'm far too wholesome a person, lol. They apologize if they curse around me, lol. I knew it was just a movie, just entertainment, and I knew my parents wouldn't tolerate...

That's why so many of the same society ills are mentioned in the Bible. ;)

What did it look to before electronic media?

Real life. ; )

Exactly it's the kind of thing you really have to follow through with. I just don't like pointing at movies or games to explain kids' behavior. Children have liked playing rough and rebelling since the dawn of time.

Well while I think swearing is largely unnecessary and uncreative, I don't find it immoral. Immoral is seeing someone being bullied and not doing anything. Things like that. I don't think children are ruined by watching R rated films. They're ruined if their parents don't make it clear what...

Happy Birthday! Great month to be born in. :)

Agreed, he's the kind of thing that gives action cartoons a bad reputation for having no depth. Throughout history audiences enjoy loving bad guys, it's a type of harmless release and rebellion. If you're unable to like a villain, then the good guys better be amazing and even the Turtles got a...

I honestly never felt like it was improvised, the give and take between them is too perfect. But I could always be wrong, hehe.

Oh man I didn't even notice that, lol. :insatiable:

You mean it isn't? Hehe ;)
