Someone asked me why I wouldn't see this movie:
The commercials I have seen show a sex scene. And I have seen enough, where if that were my daughter or my wife, I'd be upset and angry and broken about it. So I don't see that I can say that its not ok for my daughter or my wife and then be ok with seeing it with another woman. That would be pretty hypocritical. And it would be wrong.
Basically, for me its more of a justice reason than a lust reason. Although both are definitely issues. We have a culture where men would rather be entertained, turn their heads for a moment, and watch a movie that dishonors a woman than to stand up for her and protect her. When we support movies like this we are supporting an industry that dishonors both men and women.
So we have a choice to be entertained or to be men (or Christians).
Read this, it will give you a better idea of where I am coming from: Purity and Justice

I was praying with some guys a while back and we were talking about this issue. I mentioned that in recent history Christians would not have watched these kind of movies. One of the guys said at that time non-Christians would not have put up with women being taken advantage of like this.
