Funny quotes from that link Kev posted in journal.

You know the place, here. www.capalert.com/capreports/index.htm

Examples would be like "flatulence, repeatedly, "rapid-fire"" listed as an offense of "hate" for the movie "White Chicks".

[Daryl]

Various Star Trek offenses:

protrayal that it is 'required' to be embarrased about a zit (on a Klingon, nonetheless)
"...would sell their souls..." to get something
blood spurting from a hole in the forehead of an aggitated alien (How do they know the alien isn't supposed to do that? )
kidnapping by transporter
severed "alive" human-looking robotic parts
talking disembodied head

Offense to God (O)(2):
"clone-ology"

screaming argument
women warriors appearing with male countenance
"Some Offense to God points were lost due to portrayal of humans being able to create life on a planetary scale and due to referring to Creation as a myth."


As for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, they had this to say.

It is said the antiChrist will be appealing to all except those who recognize him for what he is. He will seem to be a uniquely fine and noble kingly man with all the answers but will have a dark and sinister heart whose only interest is to steal, kill and destroy [John 10:10]. That is a good "metaphor" for this, yet another installment in the Harry Potter thief of minds and hearts -- and maybe souls of they who do not recognize it for what it is. To say to your kids (or yourself) "It's all fantasy" just might not be enough. A bad influence [1 Cor. 15:33] does not have to be real to influence badly. Besides, there comes in the lives of many children a time when your words become no more than that ... words.


A word on "magic." Our Director - Child Psychology Support, a practicing clinical psychologist and licensed school counselor has this to say about "magic" in and as entertainment: "Kids who revere Harry can't help to notice their own impotence by comparison, and yearn for the antidote that having "magical powers" would provide." Such dissonance can cause and has caused children to not only have unclean thoughts but to dabble and experiment with dark evil matters. If Jesus had thrown Himself off the pinnacle at Satan's tease would the angels in Matt. 4:5-6, who would have lifted Him up from being dashed on the rocks, have sinned with their "magic?" Did Jesus sin as He used His "magic" to cast out demons, heal the sick, raise the dead, make the blind see and the lame walk? There is a great deal of difference between the "magic" of witchcraft and sorcery and "magic" from God. Angels and angel-possessed people use holy power from God. Witches, wizards , sorcerers. etc. use power from Satan which makes it unholy, even if it is called "white magic." Again, the source of the power determines the holiness or unholiness of it, not the user or the use. And to practice, experiment with, dabble in or even embrace unholy magic (or "magik" to some) is sinful.

More quotes appreciated.

LOL, this is my fav.

Here are some:


From the movie Bruce Almighty:

"I was only human" to excuse poor behavior choice (listed as Impudence/Hate)


From the movie The Butterfly Effect:

punk/goth, repeatedly (in Impudence/hate; since when was it an impudence to be a goth?)

On the subject of impudence:

"The bad guy has all the fun." (in the movie Dudley Do-Right)


From the movie Are We There Yet?:

"Don't tell your mother" (in Impudence/Hate)
adolescent singing R-E-S-P-E-C-T by Aretha Franklin saying such as "What you want you know I got it" (listed as Sexual Immorality)
Christmas without Jesus (listed as Offense to God, d'uh)


lol, there are just too many to put XD

[Wulfi]

Look at the Cabin Fever review they had. Look at the gauge... ;; What's the lowest gauge you guys found?

[Daryl]

Several movies have a rating of 0.

Including Scary Movie, which will be the main source of my next reply.

[shadowdeath]

Well it's obvious Scary Movie would go against their views. It has lots of sexual content.

[killerinstinct]

Hmm... There's an interesting thing I found in one of their reviews...

"I know this might draw from you a "gimme a break" mutterance, but Harvard educated Dr. Karen Nelson and many others agree with me that the ability to completely separate fantasy from reality and to fully anticipate the consequences of one's actions are not developed to their plateau until the early 20s. And we are dealing with a target audience of very young children. I'll let you do the math."

(this part is from Hey Arnold! The Movie's review)

I wonder how true that is. I mean, 14-15 year olds aren't able to tell what's real and what's not very well? I've some doubts on that. Sure, there are people of that age who can't tell the difference... just like there are adults who can't make the difference. Doesn't it rely more on whether the person is mentally stable or has some sort of illness?
