If they are going to make movies about unsavory characters,
then I see no reason that those actors should act in a manor
that is inconsistent with the character they are playing.
Movies are not "required viewing" so anyone can chose to
watch, or not watch as they see fit. If it were a kiddies movie
about furry little animated characters and they started saying
and doing "bad" things, then there would be something to
legitimately complain about. Yes, they could leave much
more to the imagination. They could even go back to forcing
grown-ups to sleep in separate beds if they want, but I can't
see legislating it.
More often than not, I choose to not go to movies that have
a lot of violence. That is my personal choice. The level of
violence that is portrayed in movies makes even being
concerned about sex and improper language laughable.
I can't even think of a sexual activity, or language, that even
begins to compare with blowing someone's brains across
the room in full color. If I had a daughter I would much rather
she sneak off and experiment with sex than to experiment
with blowing people's heads off.
Most studios clearly label their videos with approved ratings.
If a person cares about such things, they should stick with
videos that have "G" or better ratings. Unfortunately I find a
lot of the so called "safe" movies to be even worse than those
with "R" ratings. They blow off peoples heads in cartoons and
expect the audience to laugh. Now there is a problem worth
getting concerned about.
