Sith And Sin

God's Guide To The Hot Parts--the fundamentalist web ministry that fights Hollywood smut by describing it until you get so hot--reviewed Episode III, the first PG-13 Star Wars movie. A few objections (careful: there may be spoilers):

Wanton Violence/Crime (W)

action peril, repeatedly

order to kill, repeatedly

physical transformation with gore

burn gore, repeatedly


Impudence/Hate (I)

sustained anger and hatred, some brutal and vicious

much effort to coerce to evil with sympathy and temptation with evil


Sexual Immorality (S)

man and woman in bed

below navel skin, threatening to expose what follows

excessive cleavage

camera angle to force viewer on private parts (clothed)

dressing to maximize the human form and/or skin exposure (once)


Drugs/Alcohol (D):

none noted


Offense to God (O)

"The Chosen One - the prophecy says"

"You fool!"

use of "magic" to levitate, to control others and to do harm

using evil for good


Murder/Suicide (M)

beheading murder (severing unseen)

The Hot Parts Guy adds this Scripture paraphrase:

Ps. 12:8 The wicked freely strut about [e.g., create progressively vile/offensive entertainment with impunity and no consequences to younger and younger audiences every year] when what is vile is honored among men [when enough people continue to defend it, embrace it, pay for it, enjoy it, want it, submit to it].

Oh, and one more thing:

Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), who lives close to me but I have never met him, makes a couple appearances while Jar-Jar (Ahmed Best) makes one thankfully non-speaking appearance.
