"People are very sensitive about what they put into their bodies. But they will put anything into their brains. They eat free-range chicken, but they watch TV shows about headless suburban demons. They ingest loads of parsnips but never Picasso. Call me a hidebound traditionalist, but the brain is every bit as important as the small intestine." ~Joe Queenan, columnist, Wall Street JournalEven as an empty-nester I rely upon the IMDb Parents Guide. Some content (vulgarity, nudity, and extreme violence) pulls my mind into darkness and depression. I want to avoid that.
Useful links on this blog's sidebar include websites with information on content. These guides serve as a film's nutrition label for what I might feed my brain.
I totally agree. I'm much more discerning about what I watch, mostly because TV and movies have become more and more offensive. It's very subtle but it creeps in. Even "family" films sometimes cross the line.
ReplyDeleteIt's especially frustrating when they cross the line with "family" films. And we can't always trust the MPAA ratings, either.
DeleteExcellent quote. Thank you for the info on the guide.
