I wasn't mad either but it was meant to be a review so that's why it was so long.

I like to back up my arguments if it's a review. If people don't read they don't read. If they do then they do. I'm just participating in the discussion the way I best can.

One person did.

Seriously, I see your point, and if you're offering me advice to improve then thanks for the help. But please be respectful of the fact that we all have our own posting styles. Not all of my posts are that long. Also, a PM would probably be more appreciated than posting straight on the thread.

Since it seems to be a problem...

Summary of my review:

-It seemed more like infotainment than a documentary
-The people he chose to argue with were easily discredited. It seemed as if he chose them to make his point look more intelligent than it actually was.
-He treated Judeo-Christian religions as if they were the only ones on earth.
-He ignored the fact that even though religion does evil, it also does good.
-The editing was suspicious.

I haven't seen it yet because its not playing ANYWHERE around here but I can see why they did that. Christianity is the BIGGEST religion in the world and effects MILLIONS of people so I can see why they covered it so much.

And yeah I was only trying to help.

I think the reason they stuck to the religions they did was because most of the buddhists and hindu's arent going around telling me that their religions are the RIGHT WAY MUST ABIDE BY OR GO TO HELL

I really havent seen as much negative ANYTHING about buddhism or hindu or tao or any of those "other" religions, so I guess maybe thats why christianity was the only religion xD!

Ah ok thanks then

They spent like 1 minute on scientology.

(Surprisingly I saw this movie on a date...an atheist and a buddhist walk into a theatre and watch Religulous...it kind of sounds like a bad joke)

So yeah I just came back from seeing it. It was pretty good.

Some complaints: he focused too much on religious fanatics and just weird extremists and such. I mean.... a MUSLIM GAY BAR come on. I would have liked to see more conversation with "normal" religious people. Some of the interjecting film/cartoon clips felt like crappy amateur youtube vids that were thrown in FOR THE LULZ to be random but some of them were appropriate and well-placed so it all balances out. Not much else to say. It was fairly entertaining.

I really liked the dudes at the Vatican. Especially the Vatican astronomer, he was awesome.

i mean, i really liked it but

did you feel like some of the POP CULTURE clips that were thrown in there were kinda gay??

i mean like that one part where he and the ex-gay guy burst into laughter and the film cuts to a clip of PEOPLE LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY lmao

it felt like instead of letting an interviewee finish talking they would just edit rebuttals out and CUT TO THE 5 SECOND CLIP OF A CAR BOMB GOIN OFF

Haha, that's kind of what I gathered from it.

Also, I watched Quarantine the other day. I was impressed, it wasn't half bad. Totally predictable and nothing new but it is so entertaining and I was actually on the edge of my seat the last 10 minutes. Pretty suspenseful.
