DY: As far as your comment that vast majority of secular entertainment is inappropriate and the issue by a majority of rabbonim I’m afraid is a similar scenario as the Internet issue. That big asifa about the Internet several years ago involved speaker who may probably did not experience the Internet themselves but made their judgment based on what people told them. I don’t know who told them what but after that I heard at least one rav said it’s better for women who made their parnasa online to do without parnasa than have the Internet. And in general the Internet was demonized regardless of the fact that people do make a living through it. I would imagine someone told rabbonim that all movies are filth, and both the informer and the rabbonim really have no direct knowledge of it.
