Kudos to Joel Siegel . . .

for walking out of a trashy movie. Since the last movie I saw in a theatre was E. T. (when it first came out!), I've never had to make the same decision. I borrow most of the movies I watch from the local library. At times, I have just quit watching when something I found morally offensive appeared, but all too often I have found myself continuing on in the vague hope that the movie will improve. (For the record, I do usually read the back of the DVD box, a review, or somehow else familiarize myself with the contents before checking out the DVD, and almost always avoid ones with an R-rating.)
