Not quite. Everyone has moral criteria by which they judge things (movies, in this case). But it's not so black-and-white where you can say "This movie contains depictions of 'x', therefore this movie is to be avoided." This sort of self-defeating criteria (at least from a Christian perspective - see my original post) is what I'm arguing against. There is a difference, for example, between the violence in Band of Brothers and the violence in Freddy vs. Jason. The one realistically portrays the violence of war as part of portraying the men of E Company and the war's effect on them. The other - well, if it had any real point other than tittilating horror freaks and making money, somebody wiser than me will have to explain it to me. But I hope the kinds of distinctions I'm making are clear. And I wholeheartedly agree with the numerous people on this thread who have argued for parental responsibility in dealing with films and TV. Labels are no substitute for parental guidance and discussion.
I'm smelling what your steppin' in here. It goes back to what I was saying about the 101 flavors of Chrisianity and what is acceptable to one is an abomination to another. I guess I was wary of the "Plank/speck" remark. "Judge not lest ye be judged" is frequently quoted by non-believers as a gotcha line, quoted out of context. (Not that this was the case.)

And I whole heartedly agree when it comes to parental involvement.
