Cleaning Out the DVDs...

This past weekend, my wife was again convicted about our DVD collection while praying the rosary. We have talked about this before, but have decided to wait. This past weekend, we did it! We cleaned out the collection. Anything that glorified idolatry, apostasy, murder, adultery, theft, and also simple coarseness in language, was dumped. This amounted to about two-thirds of our collection. On the blacklist: Ocean's 11 & 12, the Big Lebowski, the Die Hard Trilogy, the complete Friends, Rushmore, High Fidelity, and I Heart Huckabees, to name a few. We find all of these movies to be delightfully funny and extremely creative, but came to the conclusion that they do not aid our sanctification.

So, we took a huge bag to the Movie Trading Company, and picked up A Man for All Seasons, Dead Man Walking, the Pianist, Hook, and Annie in trade. Truth is, I don't think we're going to miss them.
