The Media has so much trash in it nowdays, wherever we look, there is nothing but absolute garbage...
Movie: Fight Club
"...For nearly two and a half hours, Fight Club pummels audiences with brutal violence. There's explicit, callous sexuality. Nudity. Alcohol. Obscene language (over 60 f-words). Teen idol Pitt fights, blows things up, brands a man with acid and crashes into another car ... for thrills. Even putting a gun in one's mouth and pulling the trigger adopts a glamorous veneer..." (from Plugged In Magazine)
Music : My Chemical Romance (Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge)
Do we even have to listen to the CD, the album art reflects a couple with blood all over their faces, the CD also carries a 'parental advisory' label...but when we listen to the CD we find that "...cryptic lines refer to murder, a hearse, forms of capital punishment, the grim reaper, a cold-blooded preacher and vengeance from the grave. Songs such as “Thank You for the Venom” and “To the End” merge death and marriage ...The macabre “I Never Told You What I Do for a Living” is about a serial killer proud of “the bodies I claim and lose.”...an inmate struggling with another man’s homosexual advances (“You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison”). That cut and the appropriately titled “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” use the f-word. .." (source: plugged in magazine)
I could go on forever...bands like blink 182, simple plan, metallica, red hot chilli peppers...lets not even get started on the movies...the thing is we fill our brain with such rubbish and absolute drivel!
Phillipians 4 v 8 commands "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things..."
So ask yourself..are the music and movies that im putting in my brain true, noble ,right...if they are not, what are you going to do about it?
