If you went to elementary school in the mid-1990s, "Pocahontas" probably recalls the melodious strains of the enduring song "Colors of the Wind," accompanied by her memorable animal pals Meeko the raccoon and Flit the hummingbird.

Although Christian Bale has been widely regarded as the most faithful representation of the caped crusader to grace the silver screen, it is safe to say that in this summer's release of "Dark Knight," the two villains he so passionately fought to subdue grossly upstaged him.

It can be difficult to maneuver amidst these portals of darkness on your road to enlightenment, so here I give you the Seven Deadly Sins of Pop Culture: a culmination of all the pratfalls you should aim to avoid, lest your road to reason take a sharp turn from Hollywood blockbusters straight to the DVD shelf.

The age of the spectator has passed. Like the gladiators of ancient Rome, it is once more time for the everyman to step, or in many cases, be pushed, into the ring of entertainment.
