Just last night I was talking to my brother-in-law and husband and explaining that as I've gotten older I can no longer watch the same type of movies anymore. My conscience gets in the way and there is no enjoyment in it at all. Movies are so much more realistic these days and it feels like you're right there. A little too much for me now a days. Just give me some Disney movies or chick flix and I'm good to go. I've really gotten soft in my old age.amatthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05068647354778248224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706394268101035148.post-74860356424199471072008-03-03T10:27:00.000-06:002008-03-03T10:27:00.000-06:00Though I don't watch too many violent movies- i fi...Though I don't watch too many violent movies- i find they can be too heavy- I do find that there is a place for movies that remind us of how others suffer around the world, or suffered for the freedom that we enjoy and often take for granted. That being said, I found Cold Mountain so frustrating!!! Though I do remember loving my hubby even more when he mentioned being uncomfortable with the mountain love scene- I thought it was pretty cool that my hubby did not want to see Nicole in her birthday suit. Anyways, getting back on topic- I wish that more people were conscious of what they were watching, and were saddened by needless violence- if I understood your post correctly, I don't think the fact that you are bothered by such movies is a bad thing. I will definitely be picking some for my kids to watch when they are older- such as The Hiding Place based on Corrie Ten Boom's book.Halfmoon Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050121358001735700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706394268101035148.post-48528859590057020482008-03-03T09:12:00.000-06:002008-03-03T09:12:00.000-06:00I can't watch those type of movies anymore.

I will stick to my chick flix, thank you very much.<BR/><BR/>I am praying for you, Julie.

I...Recently, I was watching "Dresden" from Netflix. It's about the city of Dresden and how it was bombed to near oblivion in WW2. There is the human interest angle of course but what struck me was the reality of how they had recreated the scenes on film. I was watching the bombings, the firey inferno, the death and destruction and suddenly I had this picture of God in heaven. I could see His heart break and tears running down His face as He watched His beloved creation destroying one another in all of its ugliness. I find myself seeing that image more & more as I watch not only movies but just reading the everyday headlines!<BR/>ConnieConstancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748558090320737035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706394268101035148.post-57467305617784800372008-03-03T06:14:00.000-06:002008-03-03T06:14:00.000-06:00I am tired of being a grownup.

I miss my Barrel of Monkeys.I feel like we did the Freaky Friday swap & you are morphing into me. For years you have fought like hell to keep me from going to the Dark Side and I intend to do the same for you. Don't let them win Lucy. Show them they were wrong. They were. Tell me when you get back and we will watch Elf. You need toe socks. And some red hair dye. You need chocolate, balloons & Groucho glasses. And I need you. The real you. Please don't go. I Love you Lucy.Keethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349468157888048083noreply@blogger.com
