Ruffling feathers

Well our other blog is certainly doing what we'd hoped it would and stirring up a lot of heated discussion! I think one of the main things that people are getting their knickers in a twist about is that we have aired our views on movies we didn't watch all the way through. Well maybe we'll post something more explanatary on the blog but for now let me just say that we very deliberatly decided that we wanted to have a whole section devoted to movies that we couldn't finish because these are likely to be the very movies that people want a wide number of views/reviews about before they make a decision for themselves. And take as an example, Election, which we read reviews of and were recommended. We found the emphasis on sex so off-putting that we chose not to finish it. We were unprepared for it in this movie, and would have like to have been better informed. At the time we had a subscription to Empire magazine but we found more and more that they weren't giving us a clear enough perspective on things, and we've not found a site/ magazine that sits somewhere between this and the crazy 'Mary Poppins is witchcraft' type Christian sites that we have come across. Our feeling was that we wanted to put something out there that was from a Christian perspective obviously, but was genuinely our opinions and not about a prescriptive moral code.
As for the people who liked/loved/defended Kill Bill. Fine! We don't claim to have the 'right' opinion of it, just our honest one. We don't think 'I liked it' or 'It was bad' is a good enough evaluation of any film, and the fact that everyone justified why they disagreed with us is good enough for us. Keep commenting, the more (considered) perspectives we have the better informed we all are about what we choose to watch!

Also, Chris made a good point which is that Google are trying to flog people Kill Bill merchandise next to our negative review of it!! Also, anyone had the dating link come up yet? That's what you get for commenting on sex/nudity! I don't know if we can configure the settings on the blog to have only family-friendly ads but we'll look into it.
