Raise decency level in movies, on TV

Posted July 19, 2011 2:00 am

When are we going to stop poisoning our society with movies that are violent, have bad language or have drugs and sex in them? The movie, TV and video industries are destroying our culture with bathroom scenes and bad values. Americans are being corrupted from watching all the trash on our programs.

I may sound like a prude, but why are we dragging down to the lowest levels much of our society? The United States should be a better example to the rest of the world. Why can’t more movies like “Midnight in Paris” be produced? The cinematography and story line were educational and delightful. I can’t imagine anyone not liking it, but I suppose there are a few!

Movie makers seem to think violence and bad language sell. It should be up to moviegoers to prove they are wrong. Let’s do it!
