A veritable commedy goldmine.Hehehe. I remember a mormon friend of mine going through this for laughs when I was still in highschool. When he got to "American Psycho" he exclaimed "Whoah... Zero..." in a tone I will never forget :D

That. Was. Amazing.

Throwing darts at pages of the bible! To even suggest that is highest blasphemy! Call the Spanish Inquisition!

These guys insult some of the best movies ever simply for outdated "blasphemy" codes.

Yeah, they trashed the 13th Warrior for its' blood, gore and violence - but check out their review for the Passion. Pffft.

Hypocrites.

Look, no murder suicide!I find it funny that 13th Warrior is more appropriate for children than 10 Things I Hate About You. To think that beheadings and murder are equally bad as teens getting drunk...

# terrorizing a waitress with a lethal weapon

Awesome! So the only people I can't terrorize with a lethal weapon are waitresses! Time for a bit of the old ulraviolence...

I love the "analysis" of Brokeback Mountain. (http://www.capalert.com/capreports/brokebackmountain_guestcomm.htm) Hilarious in its zaniness:

"Not once is there a mention of any of the dangers associated with the practice of homosexuality: the typically shortened lifespan; the plethora of diseases not typical of a monogamous heterosexual marriage; the hundreds of partners typically encountered in a homosexual practitioner's shortened lifetime; the violence typically reported in most homosexual relationships; the tendency to practice pedophilia[...]"

- No, I ain't no commie.

- Well, you better not be. I don't want no commies in my car. No Christians either.

Yes, but "flatulence" (from God's own intestinal design, I might add), use of the "three/four letter word vocaubulary" (three letter? Ass? THAT's in the BIBLE!), and so on.

As I posted in the "Harry Potter = Satan" thread, some Christians enjoy the paranoia afforded them by the Epistle to the Ephesians (where much of the "armor of God" and demon-fighting talk that books like "This Present Darkness" get their boogeymen from).

Actually, their synopsis of 8 Mile (the first random thing I clicked) was fairly spot on, and fair. They said the acting and story were good.

course, I didn't read the rest of the synopsis, so I suppose it could have been a rant about how everyone associated with the movie was going to hell. :rolleyes:

Oh no, even funnier is the one for Billy Elliot.

But later, as Billy was leaving for the dance school, he kissed Michael's cheek goodbye, as if Billy was saying "It's okay that you are homosexual." As brutal as that previous sentence sounds to modern morality, while we must love the sinner and do what we can to help him/her break the bondage to sin (even our own), we must NOT accept sin. Even as God hates sin [Prov 6:16-19], so must we also hate sin, just not the sinner. Young Michael appeared to have been a product of authority-figure example, i.e., his father's cross-dressing. Michael did it, too. And Michael ended up homosexual (an *excellent* application of the warning in Luke 17:2). And therein lies a good example of "How Did They Do It": an example of those in the victim's circle of influence causing the sin.

Yeah, I totally ended up a fag because my dad cross-dresses.

On the 1973 version of The Wicker Man:

Sexual Immorality (S)
The 1973 version is saturated with sexually immoral behaviors and imagery. If you can imagine a throng of paganistic women slithering nude about a boiling cauldron, you have an idea of the caliber of sexual immorality in the 1973 version. And nudity is not all there is to the sexually immoral content of the 1973 version. Inspect the listing in the Findings/Scoring section for a full accounting.

Losers. They evidently didn't actually watch the movie - the women were wearing flesh-coloured bodysuits and they were dancing about, and leaping through a bonfire inside a stone circle. No boiling cauldron.

No credibility.

COMMENT: The central theme was about a bad girl's desire to kill dogs to get their coats. Animals have been used to clothe humans for thousands of years. But what made objective analysis of this movie difficult was the dogs were well personified with human personality traits by the script writers and choreographers, thus giving the viewer the sense that to kill the dogs would be akin to killing human babies. While many people indeed seem to value their dogs more than humans, we cannot permit elevatation of the dog to human status. God clearly gave us dominion over the beasts of the earth. If we were to elevate the dog to human status, we would indeed be lowering the human to the dog level.

Hahaha, what a brilliant criticism of 101 Dalmatians.
