most movies these days are bad I think...
if you marched out of the cenime maybe that would work and if you cloed ur eye and watched the rest of the movie u might think of what u saw later(because maybe u watched a part and then decided to close ur eyes later)and if u say what the heck and watch the movie thats a sin and if you watched the movie and then confess thats not really gona work bec. not every time u watch something bad then say i am gonna go to confess!!!!
and if u didn't care that mit be a problem later. and IF U NEVER WATCHED A MOVIE AGAIN..man..thats bad..lol jk!
i mean not for one movie and not even the whole movie was bad for only one scene..u never watch a movie again..i don't think thats the rit dicision to do..and what do u mean by OTHER?????

i would simply close my eyes till the scene was over n never watch the movie again...
I voted that, because, simply I don't watch movies in cinemas, other than the Passion of the Christ, that's it, I never watch movies that don't tell you that it has disrespectful scenes!

I think maybe you should have walked out...
most movies these days are bad I think...
its not that easy to do....and nope there are PG movies....but u never know ..these days PG can have sexual refrences and it would still be PG...what would you tell your friends if u walked out...would you take them with you...how about if u liked the film (like it ws a good story)...

if you would do something differnt from the options i gave you like gotalk to the manager about the ratings ect...
so..i would go confess but ur choice it says WATCH THE PART FIRST then go confess..which isn't rit!!
GBU
sandra
THE MANAGER???i don't think the manager can do anything with the ratings..but u could close ur eye..but WAIT A MIN..you r gonna see a part of it first(like the bad parts)then u will decide if u close ur eyes or not!
so..i would go confess but ur choice it says WATCH THE PART FIRST then go confess..which isn't rit!!

The most of the time I had my eyes closed (but this didnt make any difference)... and i didnt have the guts to walk out, coz i was wz the whole class (and I was just new in this class).
Till now (7 years later).. i really regret that i'd went.. but most of all, I regret that i'd stayed.

Oneday I was on a trip with my high school class and it ended in the cinema. Unfortunatly I hadn't heard/read anything about the movie be4 and it turned 2 b the most dirty movie i have heard about in my life.

wow...thats a great story...however as i said, its not that easy to just wak out of the cinema...so what should we do!!!
umm, i went into a movie once, and i didnt know it had vulgar cursing and it did.. and it really bothered me.. but i didnt have the courage at the time to walk out, i had went with my brother and 2 cousins, and what was i gunna do walk out and sit alone?
i wudnt have wanted to sit alone either.. this was maybe like 2 years ago or something like that...
now, i dont really have the spare time to go to the movies, like there was nothing of interest to me.. i just went with the church n abouna to see the Chronicles of Narnia tho, it was great!
currently tho, like unless it looks like it has some meaning and i guess a PG rating cuz pg 13 tends to have lots of curses, then i will try..
but i have never really watched many movies, i dont think i've went and watched 10 movies in my whole life, and prolly not more then hat ( i mean in the theatre)
i have already decided that when and if i have kids.. im gunna not let them know that tv and movies exist...lol
im sorry but isnt that a little bit harsh....they have the freedom to go..its up to them if they want to or not..or if u want them or not..but to have no clue...well....
sorry if i sounded rude....
but like.. i guess when i thinking about it, i wanted to create a clean environment for them to grow up in as best as i can.. i dunno, like a lot of the stuff i've had to see and hear that I'd never want repeated... i guess every1 has to make mistakes to learn from them.. but yani, just not dumb, vulgar, horrible things..
but ya, it was a joke... sorry i wasnt clear...
so....so far...what i have gathered is just to close ma eyes...n sit throught he rest of the movie...
I THINK THAT MAY NOT BE THE BEST THING TO DO...but i cannot just get out of the movies!!!
