Whether you choose to admit it or not, people remember more of what they see than what they hear. This is a known fact. The sad thing is, my co-worker who is a sinner, will admit that Hollywood pushes sin. She'll admit it, but no one on this forum will. That's just sad.

Because it's been said before, does not mean it isn't a strong case
I respect your decision to not have a TV - we didn't for many years when I was a kid. My point is that you can demonize the technology all you want, but it is just a medium. There are plenty of good things to watch - some of which comes from Hollywood. I can name you numerous films with strong moral messages.
As an aside (and this may not apply to you), I always hear the anti-Hollywood arguments from people that have no issues with professional sports, and I'd like to suggest that is a bit of a double standard. People talk about the immoral examples set by actors and filmmakers, yet even many pastors have no problem supporting their local sports teams despite the decadence, drug use, alcohol, immorality and everything that goes along with that. I always find that irritating. Stepping down from the soapbox now.
