The depth of this statement really moved me. I was awed that someone could see that God was bigger than a movie, or all of Hollywood for that matter. Real deep thought here.
It is saddening to hear folks who call themselves christian going to movies to get help.
Since when has Hollywood had your best interests at heart?
Since when has that institution been such a source of godly wisdom and guidance?
Since when has it supported morality?
Since when has it been worthy of our rapt attention due to its righteous message?
Why is it that the Baptists are figuring out that it is time to distance themselves from the influence of Hollywood yet the apostolic church is running headlong after it?
What a mixed-up time we live in when evil is being called good.

Please give an example of an Apostolic Church that is embracing Hollywood corruption. I think the they preach against the bad influences of Hollywood much more than the Baptists. Seems to me the key is we should use whatever influence we have to glorify God and promote rightousness - no matter what the venue may be.
