Transformers Addendum
July 17th, 2007 | by admin |OK, after some response from my review of Transformers I feel the need for this addendum to it.
Andy: “I didn’t care for the over the top sexual innuendos and stuff.”
Anonymous: “Oh you mean the part where they talked about masturbation and called it his ‘fun time,’ that was great!” <laughing>
I went to go see Transformers. Not American Pie! I didn’t pay to go see another teen movie with bad language, crude humor, and the like. Apparently I’m the only one who found it a little disturbing. Check out this review I ran across:
Am I the only one who thinks it’s creepy to make out while a sentient car is watching?
Transformers, directed by Michael Bay. Written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. Produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura. Executive Producer Steven Spielberg. Starring Shia LeBeouf, Megan Fox, and Josh Duhamel. 2007. Runtime 144 minutes. Rated PG-13.

So, I guess I’m not the only one out of touch with modern movies. The part that irks me the most, as previously stated, is the fact that it’s aimed at kids and families. I know it’s not over the top pornography or anything, but it’s the subtle stuff. The slow decay of basic morality that is creeping into any form of entertainment put out by Hollywood is very disheartening.

So the question is…What are YOU going to do about it? This is where talk radio too often goes wrong; we just TALK about what’s wrong instead of doing something. I appreciate you giving me a warning, so that I don’t have to see the movie. But, if trashy movies really bother you, why do you continue to go to them? You could read the blogs about the content before you see the movie, and keep from giving your money to the purveyors of filth.

Talking about it is the first step in the right direction. I’m using my podium as a commentator to start the conversation.
Do I have a magic button to push to solve the situation? I wish! I do what I can as a member of the media including screening movies and telling others what I think about them. I hope that this encourages others to A) Either not waste their money or B) Make a call to someone in Hollywood, or complain to your Representative or Senator.
If enough people are talking about something, the louder the noise gets and the greater the chance something will change. I do what I can to help that process.
