Well, it'll do it without me and a lot of other people, because in my considered opinion it's no good for anybody.

I hope I'm there when you 'Fly Away' Carrie. I want to post a picture on my site.

It'll do it without you and the five people you hang around with Carrie. I wouldn't call that "a lot".

I can't post my opinion of the movie, since I have never seen the film and most likely never will. I have although, seen the trailers (seems like there is a constant stream of them) wile watching what little TV I do watch. It makes me feel the promoters are trying to cram the movie down my throat and it that does irritates me quite bit.

It's more of the marketing of evil, Tom.
Read David Kupelian's book of the same title, and you'll get an education. Carrie |

You seem to be fixating on solely the U.S. numbers. I think most of Michael Moore's documentaries have done better than 'Expelled'. So those CAN be successful at the box office. Of course, MM's docs are not traditional documentaries, but they are as 'serious' as Expelled.

But as far as an education from Mr Kupelian's book goes, are you asserting again that this view of the world is an absolute truth. I just ask because many people (see this article http://conwebwatch.tripod.com/stories/2006/kupelian.html ) seem to find it difficult to get a grip on the truth from this book. Now, unlike you, I will just take into account the views in theis article and Kupelians writings and come to my own conclusions. You however seem to have the atrocious habit of just taking in the truths from people who fit your world view..or more worringly you are trying to fit theirs. You might be shocked to realise, if you spend a bit of time trying to absorbe and understand others philosphies, that there are a lot of people out there with diametrically opposed views to yourself and the people you admire but who are, strangely as it may seem, actually far nicer and more morally sound folk than some you would follow. I'm sorry if I sound rude Carrie , but its folk like you, honest and decent as you obviously are, who scare the hell out of me more than any rabid terrorists. Because your form of bending folks will to one drone like existence is based on just as fanatical approach as those who would destroy liberty through out the world. So please just grow up and get your own views on things and lets see some form of balanced non-phobic comments instead of the simple (untrue largely) bilge that you pass on from others mouths. |

"You seem to be fixating on solely the U.S." said Balducci...hahaha. A point I've made again and again but not for Carrie.
Librarian: "who scare the hell out of me more than any rabid terrorists. Because your form of bending folks will to one drone like existence is based on just as fanatical approach as those who would destroy liberty through out the world." But Carrie Sue and the gang will not succeed like a 12 megaton bomb with instant results. Carrie and the gang will influence themselves and amuse the rest with aggrivation toward some...but Extinction (Building, Block, City, Country) is forever...with Carrie Sue we live to talk another day our thoughts and beleifs intact. With the terror trash we are Red MIST. So I must beg to differ. I'll take Carrie any day...

Is this about marketing a Bronze age mentality to folks today? For the record I don't think the desire for a "Christian culture" is entirely evil though I do see much to be desired about some of it's members behavior. Or is this equation of cultural evolution with evil an attempt at parody?

Thankfully they make movies of all types these days. All sorts of different subjects and genres s you have a choice as to what type of entertainment you and your friends choose to see. The problem occurs when you start telling people they shouldn't go see a film because it offends you. I would never go see films like Expelled or The Passion but I would never tell anyone else they shouldn't go see them or complain that they shouldn't be made in the first place. Micheal Moore has just as much right to make films that support his world view as anyone else. The market decides if he can continue releasing his movies. If no one goes to see them no theatre will carry them and the will stop making them. It's that free market thing the conservatives are so adamant to preserve. It may be marketing evil, but as we all know, evil sells.

BTW, having seen the film I can report that such comedy is not likely suitable for sheltered children or those who can't enjoy parody. It's pretty clear that the title character is the provocateur throughout leaving the audience free to enjoy the antics. Those who have issues with nudity and s3x are likely to be uncomfortable with some of the film's scenes.

If you watch the film - notice how very few if any of the "victims" of his pranks looked at has setups and laughed. I hope when he was filming there were plenty who got the jokes and whose reactions were left on the editing floor to keep the tone of the film consistent.
