GodChaser Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Actually, I would have to vote Divinci Code first. Crappy, Crappy movie. God sure did know how to take something that is against him, and make it crappy. And then I have to say the movie Zeigiest, which many of you probably haven't heard of. It tries to prove Christianity is just a Pagan Religion, like all the others. I haven't watched it yet, but I will soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue it's more similar to the optical effect of staring into a laser-pointer than a film. As for [i]Zeitgiest,[/i] I never heard of it until now. But doing a quick google search, I already found some sites that quickly break down all the lies it uses as "history." It's crazy how much money there is in blatant lying. Fortunately for me, I might find some takers on my bio-pic [i]Franklin Roosevelt: First Gay Astronaut of the 14th Century.[/i] Money train, here I come!

I must make my way to see Franco's grave in the valley of the fallen before they exhume his body and burn it or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperdulia again Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Maybe His Most Christian Majesty Don Juan Carlos de Borbon y Borbon-Dos-Sicilias, by the Grace of God King of Spain, will start a military coup. That would be great. I would move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaHilarious Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 hey guys, i have to make an apology. i just noticed - after a lot of indepth study today - that the poster i linked to [i]brokeback mountain[/i] is a fake. i can't believe i didn't notice that. man, talk about egg on your face! and even worse, it turns out that there is no such thing as "naturally gay" water. homosexual water is, in fact, a [i]learned[/i] behavior. so anyway, not wanting to distract from the conversation, but i thought i'd make it up and post the real thing. cheers!

Socrates Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 [i]Leprechaun 4: In Space [/i]was definitely the most overrated movie on the list. I mean, I just couldn't believe how the critics were all falling over themselves over that one. "An amazing and brilliant cinematic experience, breathtaking!" ~ Roger Ebert "A crowning masterpiece! Adds new depth and levels of meaning and emotional resonance to the whole [i]Leprechaun [/i]saga! A Triumph!" ~ [i]The L.A. Times[/i] "An unforgetable journey into the depths of human soul, as well as a chilling and incisive satire of the Bush Administration" ~ [i]The New Yorker[/i] I mean, it's about a leprechaun in space, for crying out loud!

jeffpugh Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 [quote name='rachael' post='1407121' date='Oct 22 2007, 10:36 AM']Crash has a lot of violence, cussing, and I think some nudity....but it does have a scene relating to Saint Christopher. [/quote] The Saint Christopher thing made me cry when we watched it in our (liberal-teacher led) philosophy class... also the moment where the woman who breaks her leg or whatever from falling down the stairs hugs her maid cause none of her friends actually cared she was hurt. It was interesting. Many moments of redemption, other moments of failing... Btw, I didn't vote, I haven't seen all the movies. Not a cinema goer...

hecklingsoul Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I just recently tried to watch [b]The Da Vinci Code[/b]. I couldn't finish watching it. It was just too lame. And I mean that in the literal sense. There were some interesting ideas in the plot, but the whole thing was just too far fetched and poorly acted, especially by Tom Hanks (who I usually really like by the way). It just seemed fake. I was really aware that I was watching actors in a movie the whole time. The actors almost seemed to be aware of the camera. It was bad. And to top it all off, there was the constant imagery and narratives of "evil" Catholic cover up conspiracy garbage mixed in with historical fact. That stuff just made me angry. Not necessarily because of what was being presented (because it was poorly done enough I don't think anyone would take it seriously anyway), but because the filmmakers actually decided at some point that it wouldn't be a problem to bash the Church.

I haven't seen Crash since it was in the movies.[/quote] Oh, I love that scene! It's when the locksmith's kid is trying to cross the L.A. River, but it's too high, so St. Christopher picks 'em up and goes all John Wayne on the house, like "Let's cross that river, pilgrim." Then some gangbangers get jealous and blast Big C with a couple of gats, but just at the last second, the kid destroys the bullets with its mind powers. And we're all like [i]whhhhhaaa[/i]? Turns out the child is J.C. in the flesh. Underlying theme: racism smells of elderberries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
