Visited the theater and saw "Prince Caspien" recently and while I did enjoyed it, I also began to ponder (again) the idea that whatever is out there for the world to enjoy, we christians ought to (and have a "right" to) a sanctified or cleaned up version of the same. But for, example, should we be heavily involved in the fight to clean up prime time television or wouldn't it be better to just turn it off and do something else? Or as another example, whatever is hot in music, the christian labels key in on artists and styles that are so similar to what pop has going that if you didn't have the lyrics handy you might not tell the difference.
Can't help but think that Hollywood is just "throwing us a bone". No one was interested in C.S. Lewis until they saw what droves we lined up in when Gibson's movie was released or the $millions$ in their pockets for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. If you want American Idol updates you can tune in to the morning drive type shows on christian radio. It all reminds me of Bunyan's character, Christian in Vanity Fair in Pilgrim's Progress. "Stick around, hang out, we're not so different, you can do your thing here, or do our thing there, no harm".
I do entertain an occasional escape into the life and story of another, whether it's an old western or the film version of a clever novel or something else. And I don't understand the Apostle's efforts as an attempt to reform the culture. But if that's the fight the modern church has chosen, who's winning? Not that the TV being watched or the the radio heard is the point but the hearts of us sinners who get distracted is what the Apostles would have addressed, even believers who want a "Christian Vanity Fair".
