And this Sunday is Easter, marking the end of the 40-day Lenten period. It can be tough going for those who have sacrificed something dear, chocolate, red meat, shopping, whatever it may be. But this final week of sacrifice holds the promise of a light at the end of the tunnel. If you've given up something particularly difficult this Lenten season, tell us what it is. What are you most looking forward to once Lent is over?

I suspect that the Bible always talks about the fact that faith requires discipline and it requires dedication and it requires a kind of determination. Therefore, out of the study of the Bible, you see that Jesus had a 40-day period in which he was tested, to build up his strength for the entering into his public ministry. It is probably due to that period. | i suspect that the bible always talks about the fact that faith requires discipline and it requires dedication and it requires a kind. of, determination. therefore out of the study of, the bible you see that jesus had a 40-day period in which he was tested to build up his strength for the. entering into his public ministry it is probably due to that | I suspect that the Bible always talks about the fact that faith requires discipline and, it, requires dedication and it requires a kind of determination Therefore out of the. study of the Bible you see that Jesus had a 40-day period in which he was tested to build up his strength for the entering into his public ministry It is probably due to that | i suspect that the bible always talks about the fact that faith requires discipline and it requires dedication and it requires a kind of determination. therefore, out of the study of the bible, you see that jesus had a 40-day period in which he was tested, to build up his strength for the entering into his public ministry. it is probably due to that period. |

Well, I think we all like freedom.

I also think that this is a part of a whole - this story could only have happened now in terms of technology, social media and as Eric said, the kind of cultural moment where we're seeing all sorts of instances where impunity is being challenged.

You know, I think that the notion that human suffering is used as currency, you know, is as old as the medium itself. It's as old as, you know, stage plays themselves - that human suffering, whether it be internal or external, you know, is the very bedrock, the fiber of conflict that we see in drama or comedy or any other kind of genre. And raising those stakes is what keeps an audience moving along with the story. You know, both television and film are beginning to merge onto one platform. And in that, we see the stakes raised even further. But in that, we also find a brand-new thing happening - audience control unlike we have ever had truly, you know, in the history of mass distribution, where an audience can truly democratize the content - vote up or down what they want to see, what they don't want to see.

You don't necessarily have to turn it off. There are plenty of shows that are - there are great thrillers, there are great action shows that don't have violence in them. You just have to work a little harder to find him. I'm always telling people with great power comes great responsibility. And as an audience, we have never had more choices. But that means you've got to find out what you're consuming, just like you can't eat at McDonald's every day, you can't consume, you know, trashy movies or television and expect it to not affect you. I in a weird way am less worried about movies like "Silence Of The Lambs" or "The Revenant," where the violence gets your attention. I'm more worried about superhero films. I'm more worried about cop films. I'm more worried about films where the violence doesn't even occur to you because it is so much a part of the genre. One of the - my big criticisms of the "Superman" movie "Man Of Steel" is that there are conflicts in which entire cities are leveled. We know that if that actually happened, you know, thousands of people would be dead. And they don't show that in the film because they know that it would derail the story they're trying to tell, and they want to try to pretend that nobody got hurt. But we know that when violence on this scale is perpetuated, there has to be a cost. They don't show that cost.
