Maybe I'm just getting old: Movies

I have absolutely struck out on picking movies this week. First, I watched "Don Jon" (more of a porn documentary than an actual movie), then I watched "Elysium" (great until a guy's head is blown up onscreen), and then to top it off, "This is the End" (too many dirty guy jokes!!!).

I'm sorry, but seriously? Do we really have to have graphic sexual content and/or graphic too-realistic violent whole bodies or appendages being blown up in order to make a movie any more? What happened to less is more?? Believe you me, I do not classify myself as a wilting violet or as a person who is shy to discuss adult topics. However, I am sick and tired of seeking entertainment only to find content that seems to be aimed at "let's shock everyone because the more graphic, the more interesting" rather than actual entertainment.

Ugh.
