Discusting Tv
128 Answers
I don't normally bother watching films on TV any longer, its pretty obvious that producers have one goal in mind, to cram as much violence in as possible in the hope of capturing an audience.
In view of what's been happening in the news over the last few weeks, out of curiosity I watched what I knew would be a violent film, ( Dog Eat Dog ) Nicolas Cage, and it didn't disappoint as regards to the appalling violence at the very beginning, of a knife stabbing frenzy, along with a shooting, and the violence continued throughout the whole film.
The other film also I watched was ( The November man ) Pierce Bronson, again relied on knife stabbing, and continued violence. Is it a case of, you make your own bed, so sleep in it?
Also I think that Mary Whitehouse back in 1963/64 was very advanced in her thoughts, and condemned / opposing such violence on TV. These films are not doing us any favours getting violence into the minds of already unbalanced individuals, are they?? Your thoughts would be welcome.

Teacake44 you are correct in your opinions re violent tv and films. People will argue with you and quote various statistical nonsense. The fact is monkey see monkey do. Though it does depend upon the monkey. Exposure to the sickening carp peddled as entertainmen

Teacake .
A B.A. well awarded IMO. Someone who writes sense and his opinions are shared from the heart (david small). Too many fools protecting their virtual signalling credentials and admiring the Emperors clothes.
I left your OP as soon as new arrivals joined as requested. Wouldn't want to upset the TT Taliban would I? :-)

I don't think that teacake was referring to what middle-aged men get up to behind closed doors. More like the lasting impression that some violent films and porn are leaving on young impressionable minds. Get real and face up to the facts. Some of you are probably good parents and are bringing your kids up the right way but don't forget there are a lot of parents that don't give a damn as to what their kids are up to.
