I am going to see this movie this Friday. Hopefully. My birthday is Saturday and I think this would be a great way to celebrate.

Here's another movie xians are complaining about: Beowulf. Apparently, portraying pre-Christian peoples as happy is a hate-crime against Christianity. Who knew?! I've heard pagans discussing their disgust for this particular movie, but their arguments are based upon the substance of the film: it's not close enough to the book, according to them.

I wonder if people like Mr. Donahue are really so naive that they don’t realize that, in raising the stink that they do about things from time to time, they actually inspire more people to seek out what they are trying to get people not to see or read.

Because, you know, I very likely wouldn’t have sought out either the book or the movie in this instance except that I’ve heard Mr. Donahue and his fellow travelers ranting and raving about them so extensively.

the Book of Mormon–in which atheists are struck mute and trampled by angry mobs

maybe we can get Wong & Bell to do the Koran & the Book of Mormon! As an atheist who truly believes that the kind of religion I was exposed to as a child constitutes spiritual abuse, I'm always annoyed by religious who are happy to press religion upon the children of others but freak out if areligion is also available. See tGC just to combat that!
