Am I Unreasonable?

I probably am.

I'm fine with that.

My husband did his normal thing when approaching me with a night out with the guys schedule thing. He forwarded me the email where the guys are planning this night out. I don't really care. He can go out if there is nothing else happening.

My problem was with the thing that they are doing. They are going to see Watchmen then going to play their game (which totally blows my mind that they can do without feeling really silly...they play with little dollies) of Heroclix.

I don't care, they can play Heroclix to their heart's content. They do it all the time. I find it silly, but I'm not on that same geek level (not that there is anything wrong with being on that level. I happen to adore my geek, and his friends are fun and a great bunch of guys, even if I can't always follow the conversation when talking to them).

My problem is with the movie. I don't like it. The more that I ponder on watching this movie again, the more I find things wrong with it. Basically everything that I find bad in a movie is in this movie without moderation. Gratuitous sex scenes, nudity with no purpose except to disturb people like me, and extreme violence without the good taste to turn the camera and let the sound effects to their job. The story line is basically just disturbing. I knew it would be. I had heard enough about it to understand that when I went with my husband, I wouldn't like this movie. Yet I went because I knew that my husband really wanted to see it, and I like to do things that make him happy.

My problem isn't usually in watching these movies, it's in all the geeky analyzing them. I just can't fathom allowing my mind to dwell on this movie. I can't understand why anyone would want to, especially when the Bible clearly defines what we should allow our minds to dwell upon.

"Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things." Philippians 4:8

If you go and see a movie for entertainment, fine. Leave the bad stuff in the theater. If you just can't let it go, though, and your mind is on the plot or characters who are clearly sinful, then there is something wrong. If you have to go back and spent more money on analyzing this movie further, then there is something wrong. One could make the argument that going and seeing it the first time is wrong, but I'm not even going there.

So I'm being unreasonable. Show me where I'm wrong, though.
